The lousy officiating is because the Rams are a loosing team. It doesn't matter if the calls go against them or not a better team will get the call nearly every time. This statement is clearly subjective just like many of the calls in the NFL. I still think a blue flag should be given to the coach to throw and have a penalty review (one per game). If adopted would make the O crews think
twice before throwing a team under the bus.
Hears another thought, with all the penalties on kickoffs and punts, let do away with them. Everyone would start at their 20yd line replacing the kickoff, and punts would automatically be 40yd from the line of scrimmage. That would fit right in with all the NFL rule changes in trying to make a violent contact sport safe, reduce lousy officiating calls and cut down on screwing some teams over.
The game Rams and Denver the hit on Sanders - penalty hitting a defenseless player, what a BS call - the receiver touched the ball and was hit by the safety at the same time bang bang play. How is the safety suppose to break up a pass if he can't put a hit on the receiver. How is a receive ever going to be in a defensive position laying out for a ball. The call was crap and if one checks the rule it doesn't even fit the situation of that play. But hear we go with the officials not liking a big hit so we have to throw a flag on a play that was not a helmet to helmet hit but Sanders helmet to ground. If the NFL continues down this path and continues to ruin the game Baseball will once again be the National Pasttime.
