Something to ponder..

Why are refs untouchable?? they are never fined or fired or suspended except in rare cases.. these guys sure know how to screw over teams just based on how they feel at the moment.. fug that poo. For all you that love to say it's not the refs fault and you whine too much go suck a fat one.

[Fright]

Once the league starts to admit fault in the refs, everything questionable will be asked to be looked at and have refs disciplined for it, which will just start lead to people questioning the integrity of the game after some things are called out and some aren't by the league.

At full speed, I'm sure that pass interference call looked a lot worse. The announcers even said it happened until they watched a replay a couple times then changed their view about the call. I hate the call as much as any of you guys, but ish happens.

try making these calls at full speed and without HDTV, zoom and replay

there were some BS calls but no more BS calls than there are each week. I can't blame the refs on this loss. I can blame Baker, the DTs, Naanee, the LBs, Mare and the rest of the special teams today. They all flat out sucked. offense looked great.

[pstall]

refs don't tackle. ha, neither does our special teams.

Yeah I accept that there will always be BS calls but this game had an absurd amount of bs calls..

Refs do get penalized, just not publicly. The league reviews the ref's performance and refs with poor track records don't get to ref big games (playoffs, Super Bowl) and eventually get fired. The key is that they don't get chastised publicly for the reasons Fright mentioned.

Well, why was the flag so freakin late!

I dunno man.. if they do get fired we haven't seen the refs that need to be fired actually fired.

We need robot refs!

derp I fuging hate this excuse more than almost any in sports.

IT'S THEIR fuging JOB TO BE ABLE TO OFFICIATE AT FULL SPEED WITHOUT REPLAYS. They're paid good money for it. If they can't handle it they should find another job.

And Cam, Smitty, Pugh get paid good money to throw completions, catch tough TD throws, and make tackles, but it doesn't always happen either. Sometimes it's a small thing, other times it's a difference-maker. Terrible calls, but it's just a part of the game.

Flags should be challengeable.

The league admits they are judgement calls and that mistakes do happen, make it so.
