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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
