are they...?
are they...?
Yeah, might as well say it. It's amateur hour out there."These guys are professionals, and we expect a professional football environment."
They need to go back to ref'ing Pop Warner games.
Yeah, I said it. Pop Warner games.

As bad as these refs are, and they are terrible, these players really need to shut the fukk up too. shyt is becoming commonplace now for these dudes to cry after every play. NFL turning into soccer and NBA. Disgusting.

I never saw this much whining last season.
These dudes are behaving like this because they know these refs suck and can be wooed into throwing a flag.
It's annoying as hell though.

How are leaugue officials and roger godell gonna warn/threaten teams for chewin out these 2nd tier officials. The league is complaining about protecting players and player safety, but they have these low buget refs out there. Cmon man
Martellus Bennett went ape shyt after one of the refs when one of the Panthers ripped his helmet off. NFL Network slow mo'ed on it. That's probably why they released it

Exactly.. get back in the huddle and shut up. Worry about the next play. There's so much "other" stuff going on during football games now to slow it down. Reviews after almost every play, refs huddling up all confused, and now the players creating another distraction by bytching.

referees were pretty solid last night....as a fan Im not exactly sweating the real refs coming back. They seem to throw less flags which im totally fine with. Defenders are getting away with hits that are now illegal under these new rules....which I like.

I hate these throwing less flags fans.
What they aren't calling hurts the game. The Jets receivers were getting MUGGED against the Steelers and they were not called. Then they call a bs PI on the Steelers to make up for it.
The Ravens were hurt by these scab refs calling holding rather than Pass Interference calls.
These guys are not throwing flags at times they should. teams are getting away with rubs on crossing routes. This hurts the integrity of the game.
Congrats on enjoying timid refs gathering around a camp fire every five seconds, extending the game just to make sure they got a call right.

Why should they when its working?
Annoys the shyt outta me, man. I'm too much of a traditionalist for all this shyt.
