Unless, as fans, we rise up and challenge the NFL to change their rules they'll continue to have poor reffing. It really hasn't cost the NFL a damn thing because we're all watching next week regardless of how pissed off we may be.

Many of the major penelties are open to interpretation you really need to look hard at how to review them fairly, any little touch could be called pass interference. They also may not have the camera angle(s) necessary for a lot of these challenges.

On a side note -- If a coach challenges a play and the ref doesn't have any type of video to show the play, or at least clearly (players in the way) does the challenging team get to keep that challenge and timeout? Or are they charged automatically?
