Orlovsky implores NFL owners to fix officiating 'epidemic'
Edit: In case you can't see the embedded video: https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/27849969 He's right, you know... Last edited by iDeaL; 10-15-2019 at 11:11 AM.. |

Like I said, it would only apply to black and white flags. There's no gray area on if Trey Flowers' hand was in Bahktiaris face or not. That's an easy fix

Automatic first downs on DH, illegal contact are the real killer. You can't simply assess a 5 yard penalty on a 3rd & long and make it an automatic first down without impacting the balance of the game. DPI is another story. They need to be able to review every DPI (just like a turnover).
Didn't the game do just fine without all these tilted rules? Newsflash - Peyton Manning has retired, why have those around? |

A few ideas:
-Work to eliminate subjectivity from as many rules as possible. -Booth refs watching the game that can communicate with the on field refs. I saw 3 uncalled OBVIOUS false starts result in touchdowns last year (LAC vs Cleveland, LAC vs Pittsburgh, LAR vs Chiefs). No reason that should happen in the NFL. -Full time refs with performance based pay. Refs continually reviewed and penalized for poor performance. -Personal Foul penalties should not offset with procedural penalties (or really any 5 yard penalty) -Analytical analysis every week from the League to evaluate when flags are being thrown (blowouts, late in games vs early, home or away teams, etc). This should all even out over the course of enough games. If refs are being inconsistent on when they are throwing flags, they should be held accountable. Consistency should be the goal. The day the league loses its legitimacy among a majority of fans is coming. Not saying the league isn’t legitimate, but the perception of the league is changing rapidly. We’re getting closer to refs taking WWE style bumps and anything going while the ref is knocked out. Can’t wait to see Chris Jones hit Philip Rivers with a steel chair someday! |

Now THAT would be entertainment.. I remember there was a football video game for Sega Genesis called "Mutant League Football". On defense, one of the plays you could call was simply "Kill the Ref", where the entire D would swarm and rip apart the referee. It resulted in a mere 15 yard penalty.

I don't know what the fix is, but the fact remains that we're seeing far too many games being negatively impacted by flawed officiating. It's to the point that millions of fans are noticing and talking about it.
And it's more than just bad calls. Bad calls have always been a part of the game. In all professional sports, for that matter. Now we're not only getting bad calls, but also violations of the rules by officials. That shouldn't happen. That has to stop immediately. |

A guy making a living reffing games sign me up. I know i'd be bias so i couldn't ref AFC west games but if it was a job i'd treat it as such and I don't think a very well paid ref is going take bribes but you really want to trust a lawyer ? I think a blue color guy is going call strait up more so than a lawyer. |

The chosen team is struggling? Just call a ticky tack defensive holding penalty and BOOM. Automatic first down. Chosen team back on track. |

I don't care if it results in low scoring games, make this shit fair. Oh, I forgot, if QBs can do hard counts, that's fine, but the D should be allowed to play the same game and simulate the snaps. After all, the offence is supposed to know the snap count. |

Take away the automatic first down and it would help a fair bit. |
