I can't agree enough. It is in every game, not just the skins games. And it is getting ridiculous. But are the referees being held accountable? We don't know as fans because this information is not being released. What happens to a referee for making a horrendous call, and perhaps a call that changes the course of a game? Is the only repercussion that he not get picked for the playoffs, because if so, that is simply not enough. A referee's poor call(s) can alter the flow and ultimately the direction of a game, and just as Roger Goodell is now on the hot seat to be more transparent, perhaps he should extend this to penalties on referees. If a player does something deemed illegal, he is fined and everyone knows all about it, but if a referee continuously blows calls, it is simply brushed off as no big deal and simply "human error". That is complete bs. And don't even get me started on the favoritism towards the offense vs. defense. What exactly is a defenseless receiver? Last time I checked the receivers are wearing the same gear as everyone else, yet a safety has to tread extremely lightly when trying to make a play in the secondary, as to not get a fine and suspension. It is turning into a joke.
