Big Guy 1,400 Posted October 16, 2019 Lot's of talk this Season and especially this week about the poor officiating in the NFL, I doubt it gets better anytime soon. Here's a hot story to kick things off on a thread we'll most likely toss around here for years. RUMOR: GAMBLER BET LARGE AMOUNTS OF CASH ON MULTIPLE NFL GAMES OFFICIATED BY CLETE BLAKEMAN’S CREW https://www.totalprosports.com/2019/10/15/rumor-gambler-bet-large-amounts-of-cash-on-multiple-nfl-games-officiated-by-clete-blakemans-crew/?fbclid=IwAR3g5BgG7e6CniI3dO5K8AoINmj5F0NlY4TMIvTEW0j_BAfnfTE-g0nmq8Q Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 3,553 Posted October 27, 2019 I think the review rule is either being misused or has been trotted out as a pacifier, while they just let their mistakes stick.....as if to suggest that the bullsh!t "interpretation" is somehow accurate.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No argument here,in fact go to a site like scores and odds some Sunday and write down the spreads and over/unders and then watch the games,highlights etc. and compare how many times a penalty results in keeping the aforementioned in play and bettors on the edge of their seats.It's gotten so bad IMO I'm even starting to question some of the play calling. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,958 Posted November 5, 2019 The Giants didn't lose because of the refs. Not by a damn sight. But the refs suck. The Giants sucked too, but so did they. I can only hope down the line if they are good again this crap gets sorted out. Because then I'll have to consider giving up on this incompetent, aggravating leauge that ruins the watching experience, every time. In the mean time, half the fans are going to be pissed in big games. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the mean time, half the fans are going to be pissed in big games. Why do you think that is? I think that there are quite a few factors that come into play into the referee suckiness, including: - there are a bunch of new guys. The old guys are retiring and they are bringing in new guys who are probably not ready for the speed of the game - review has made refs less firm in their calls. They are told to not blow the whistle on fumbles/turnovers because they can always be reviewed - there are a ton of camera angles with slow mo and high def. Maybe the number of missed calls by refs are the same, but fans at home are not missing them anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the number of missed calls by refs are the same, but fans at home are not missing them anymore I think the biggest factor is that the refs are graded on every play. They should be graded on if the game was officiated well, not every play scrutinized. The ref gets a bad mark because he missed a holding call on a kick return on the other side of the field. So throw the flag and it's deemed they got the call right, his grade improves. And the fans get pissed. But hey, the ref got it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
