NFL Officiating

I'd be open to other ideas like that too. I was a believer in replay but have slowly just realized "wait am I happier with how things are now versus before?" The answer is no. I think I, and most fans, am more dissatisfied with rules and officiating than before replay by a lot. Officiating hasn't gotten worse it has gotten harder and way more scrutinized.

Can someone give a clear definition of when hooking a pass rusher around the neck is and isn't a hold? It seems like the officials aren't even sure as there are so many times it never gets called but then other times it randomly gets called. I saw it happen to Kerrigan today with no call then turn my head 20 degrees to the left to see a Bills player get flagged for virtually doing the same thing that was bring done to Kerrigan.

Just seems to me the better the team the more fans complain about the refes.

Every team's fans are complaining about the Refs. The Ravens lost a game they actually won because the refs got an obvious call wrong. Several games have had wrong calls severely impact the games. The refs lost several seconds in a game earlier in the season.

Bills have a reason to complain becuase that was the worst no call of the season on the last drive of the game...the pick play

This. I never understand why it doesn't get called consistently.

I wish the NFL handled replay the way MLB does. They take it out of the hands of the officials on the field of play and let the people back in the studio watch it without all the adrenaline going and pressure to hurry up due to fans booing etc etc etc.....sometimes also it feels like the officials on the field are trying their hardest to uphold calls simply because they want to be justified in their initial call.

The list is growing rapidly of times when the former head of officiating members on the Fox broadcast will give the opposite opinion of what we see on the field.

We need an eye in the sky to be able to overrule obviously awful calls. On the spot. Period.

Otherwise i cannot.... cannot... comment on the refs..m way to much hate

BTW... i guess gronk is allowed to push off on every play he's one on one that isnt a slant ? .... yea thats fuckin retarded.
