NFL officiating influencing games

The NFL is such a s**tty product this year.

Sometimes it reminds me of Madden Football when you are dominating and all of a sudden you fumble a few times to keep things close. The system steps in. The calls that drive me crazy are the barely touch a helmet, roughing the passer, and constant interference calls. Some of these penalties seem to be called after the play is over. I was amazed a few weeks ago when Peterson on the Ravens got a pick after Harbaugh challenged the play, and it was clear to everyone that it was an incompletion. I guess the Ravens needed some help.

I expect mistaken calls/non-calls.

It's the different set of rules for some teams/QBs Vs. everyone else.

Someone should officially review each of the Zebra's performances and fine them for blowing a call especially after an instant replay...

I always get confused between the JUDGMENT regarding Defensive Pass Interference and Offensive Pass Interference..

Additionally each fan needs to ref a pro game so they can tell the difference between real time and 4K slo mo.

The refs do get audited on their calls

ANYONE know how bad the penalty was on the ref from that Rams and New Orleans game ??

The NFL is and has been rigged via the refs for a long time. Once you get into the shadow of the playoffs the calls cater to the storylines that will sell tickets and get ratings. There is a reason every truly big name that is in danger of retiring with one or none gets a ring on the way out and the new faces of the league get a ring early in their career. The league isn't leaving their billion dollar baby to chance.

Lol

I only complain if they get poor ass screen writers doing the scripts. If they get the top Hollywood people giving us a superior product that keeps me entertained for a few hours I'm ok with it. Have a cage match as the finale with the overweight assistant coaches duking it out on the 50 yard line.
