The NFL needs to address this soon. Why, in 2024, they don't employ full time officials is beyond me. Rugby Union is the best example of standards, but even looking at English football alone, where there can be in excess of 60 professionally officiated matches per week, there are relatively few controversies. And English football doesn't have the full set of replay tools and views the NFL does (pylon cameras, sky cam, c. 20 manned cameras). The NFL seems to have had at least 2-3 serious issues per week this season, and standards seem to be getting worse not better. and its not like the NFL can't afford it.
Probably just so they can actually cheat and manipulate results, and do it under the guise of "oh, the refs just made a mistake". Or they'll outright lie and say it was the correct call.
