NFL officiating has absolutely gone to sh-t in the last ten years or so.

Instructions like the one I mentioned above are probably part of that, but for whatever reason, the quality has just become terrible.

Part of it is with replay getting better and better, you can see the mistakes. But the majority of it really is there is no consistency from one game to the next on what "insert penalty here" really is. DJ gets an unsportsmanlike for taking his helmet off outside the field of play. Countless other players take theirs off in the middle of the field to celebrate and crickets. What defines a catch? What is PI? Holding? WTF is considered a sack vs roughing the passer? You can't expect coaches, players, and fans not to constantly call bullshit when there is zero continuity on how a game is called.

Purdy possibly looking at Tommy John surgery. MRI revealed his elbow is fuged up bad.

That sucks for him; complete tear of his UCL.  Delhomme was never the same after his Tommy John surgery.

Sounds like a guy who plans on cashing in as a FA and doesn't really care about pissing people off on his way out. "This is my last MFing year! WTF???"

I mean, is he wrong?  Sometimes stupid need to be called out.  Granted Butker still could have made a reeeeallly long attempt, but that 15 extra yards sure helped.  Would have been, what 56 yards in single digit temperatures?

Like it matters? If he had to kick a 56 yarder there would've been a flag thrown just in case he missed to scoot him up for the retry. Just how that game was shaping up.
