These guys are missing calls on replay. The penalties are called for PR reasons and general appearance rather than based on what actually happened. Officials are making calls based on assumptions and are often wrong. Status won’t fix those issues.

The refs just plain aren’t doing a good enough job. Giving into their demands was an unfortunate disservice to pro football. The players, teams, and fans all deserve better officiating.

They should all be full time and held accountable for their countless mistakes rather than having the league cover for them and fining people for calling them out.

Ha, everyone would be running into each other. I say just get rid of officials altogether and let them play backyard style.

It just seems absurd that a multi-billion dollar business would be trotting out lawyers, etc. that moonlight as referees. Unfortunately and predictably, it shows in their performance.
