Refs bad. Goodell and Kraft are involved with the Russian state sanctioned mafia. The NFL has their fingers in international gambling through shell corporations. And probably human sex trafficking to, because why not?

Just make every play reviewable via challenge flag and get rid of the two minute bullshit. What the gently caress is the reason for not doing this?

because challenge flags are stupid and 1 man is in charge of all reviews and obviously doesn't give a single gently caress.

Traditionally, the NFL didn't want anything to do with Las Vegas because of the appearance of impropriety. Now they're moving a team there.

Also, they're letting Draft Kings use all kind of licensed poo poo. Why? Because they're investors through various shell corporations, I bet.

They are investors (through various owners).

Pace wouldn't change and judgement calls that are the result of a review are better than judgement calls that are the result of a few refs on the field trying to watch like 5 matchups at minimum per snap

The NFL could just flip a coin for reviews since challenges result in something like 40 to 50% reversals anyway. Automate it for every penalty and problem solved!

I love how the first few weeks of the season the narrative was whether the Packers could survive with a not so normal looking Aaron Rodgers but an improved (to varying degrees) defense. gently caress, even when they don't have either of those things the Packers found a way to be 5 and loving 1.



Lions definitely got hosed, though.

lol yes let's slow the game down even more only to have the ref not overturn the lovely penalty anyway. There need to be way less challenges and penalties, not more

The substance of the calls notwithstanding, the volume of flags makes games unwatchable. I think the refs threw flags on 7 (!!) straight plays in the last several minutes of Jets-Cowboys. It’s absurd.

Reign on me.
I feel like they also call back roughly 70% of long runs based on holding that occurred either away from the play, or was committed by a wide receiver blocking downfield.

They ignore most instances of defensive ends being dragged down by their neck, however.

There must be a German word for the expectation that every single big play will be called back and the sense of confusion when there isn't a flag thrown on any deep pass

Coaches should not lose timeouts for unsuccessful challenges.

NHL has unlimited challenges, you just get a 2 minute bench minor if you lose.

On Redzone they were double-boxed between that and another late window game and they were just going back and forth with penalties in both games. It was honestly pretty depressing.

e: why is offensive holding a 10 yard penalty? It seems like it kills a fair number of drives. 5 to match defensive holding seems fair, but get rid of the auto first down on defensive as well.
