I don't watch a lot of games the Chiefs aren't in but there has been terribad officiating all season long. It's not a new thing, bad officiating has been rampant the last few years, the question is what can be done about it?
It's awfully hard for the casual fan to see who is the best team when the officials have such a big impact on how a game goes and so many "rules" are left open to interpretation by said refs leaving even the most die hard fan to wonder "WTF" on many penalties.
All I'm asking for is parity/equality on officiating.

Probably a rhetorical question, but IMO, take what you can out of their dumb ****ing hands.
Remote sensing is easy these days. I have some pretty extensive posts on this, but a lot of it is just easy as hell. GPS can get my tractor to less than an inch away from any given point on the planet. A chip in the ball and some triangulation centers in the stadium should take spotting the ball off the table.
It would take some work, but pressure sensors or even electrical sensors should take the question of whether a player was down or out of bounds or whatever a player was touched down or whatever.
Aforementioned sensors could be put in the ball to determine control on a catch or a fumble. Whether the player was down on a fumble. Maybe even on lineman's jersey to tell if there is holding.
Sensors in facemasks should help.
Getting all that shit out of the way might help them improve the calls they **** up so ridiculously bad.
