Refs in the NFL are ruining it for me.

I have a hard time watching NFL games these days. The penalties, the politics, the pseud--celebrations........on a plus note, my Sundays are more productive.

You know what's ruining the NFL for me?

Mediocre Chiefs teams

I'm with you completely here, but what's your plan the first time a kick falls short of the end zone?

The particularly annoying thing about the Raiders fiasco is that they tossed all those flags leading up to the final play, and then just let Crabtree push off for his TD catch....very frustrating. I wouldn't blame anyone who tuned out for the season after that.

Not committing penalties would be the solution.

Having refs ignore holding and PI in the end zone is really not a good solution.

Not Sutton can't be any worse.

Timing of the penalties is everything. How can the human eye consistently tell what a penalty and what is not in a game as fast as the NFL? In a game where the difference between W and L is literally a handful of plays the refs have a huge influence on the outcome.
Offensive holding by linemen, defensive holding by DBs and DPI are too easy to call on any play. It drives me nuts when they are called at the most inopportune moments.
One easy fix would be to eliminate those penalties altogether after the two minute warning in a one score game. Just let the damn players play when the game is on the line!!
In general any rule that does not directly affect player safety should be eliminated or at worst moderated. Enforce helmet to helmet, horse collar and roughing the passer, thats it.

But then a team couldn't get 10 plays inside the 10.

Logan penalty is the type that makes me suspect refs are betting on games. Did absolutely nothing wrong, in fact did the same on every extra point. Lined up on the Left Guard crashed over to the right Guard.

The penalties are way too subjective and crew based. It is hard to take a result seriously. For once I would like a HC to come out and say that his team got hosed by the refs.
I did not see Chiefs players and coaches arguing with the refs about the Logan penalty. They seemed resigned to their fates of yet another loss. They should have been absolutely livid, that was for the sole lead of the AFCW right there. One more reason why the team is soft and will never win a SB with Reid.

Did you get naked in public and put Bandaids on your nipples?

Well, you cannot eliminate penalties altogether, that would be chaos...

However, you could ALLOW CHALLENGES of penalties.

So the game ends up being 15 minutes longer... who gives a shit if the outcome is fair.

These ten thing lists are annoying.

I am surprised that there are 29 posts and no one has posted "pics or it didn't happen" about item 6. Even more surprised there isn't a question about her take on PIIHB.
