Refs missed a few calls.

Missed the "blow to the back of the head" when the Card blitzed Hill. Go for the strip sack, fine. But, if you hit a QB in the back of the head, that's a PF...15 yards.

Also, several times after Hill threw, the Cards DL rode Hill to the turf. That's a foul. You can't do that. You have to ease up. You can't drive the QB into the turf after he's thrown the ball. They didn't call that all game. The Rams weren't doing that to the Cards QB, but the Cards DL was. Hill was pretty gimpy by game's end because of it.

Also, late punt return. Austin was down and then a Card flies in from nowhere and spears him after the play is dead. NO call and that would have added 15 yards to the crucial field position battle.

They got the Jenks PI call right. Jenks grabbed Floyd's right arm. Pretty clear. I got no beef with that. He tried to get away with one there. I'd rather he just played that straight up. He had the tip and they were calling a tight game, though they missed a few.

Well, I'm so glad that the NFL is being frugal and and spendthrift and keeping the part time ref system.

I mean why have full time refs?

I've never gotten this complaint, what would be the benefit of full time refs?

What would they do outside of game time? Just watch tape until their eyes bled? I'm not sure that would necessarily make them better at their jobs.

We see mistakes every week that shouldn't be made.

Positioning mistakes. Mistakes because they aren't in the best shape so they are out of position.

We see them NOT making calls that are expressly on the Point of Emphasis list.

I could make a long list, but I should get to the Dr for this cold already. Yeah, a LOT of video and a lot more exercise to be better prepared for the season would be part of it.

It would also allow the crews to watch a few games of each team to watch for things they try to "get away with"... EVERY team in the league has SOMETHING they stretch in the rulebook.

The point wouldn't be to throw more flags, but to get on top of games early to let teams know right away that the games are going to be called straight up.

The net effect would be LESS booth reviews and a greater sense of integrity about the game.

I, for one, am tired of seeing F'ng accountants and history teachers out of position to make calls because the NFL doesn't want to spend a few more grand a week on Refs...

Quinn basically pulled to the ground on several plays with no call.

A couple 12 men in the huddle for AZ - no call. Arians called a timeout on one of them, but the penalty should have already been called.

I could see that he was offsides from watching on my computer monitor, with a bad internet feed. Why couldn't the ref see that standing right in front of it?

The cards were going crazy with the holds. Why not, I mean teams have seen the fucking game tape. They see the holds on Ram rushers and they see the refs not calling it so why not do it themselves.
That's how teams have been defending the Rams rush all year long. It has nothing to do with out playing the Rams line or a superior plan. It's straight up cheating aided by shitty, corrupt referee's.

I'm not joking about this when I say I'm not going to watch a sport that has shit officiating ruining fair competition and deciding outcomes for much longer...

And I'm all in with a superimposed Brock Lesnar carrying a shark.

So that's what he's doing instead of actually being on TV and having matches while he's WWE Champion!

...

Don't mind me, I'm just bitter.

Because it's Walt Coleman, he's one of the shittiest refs in the NFL
