I can't remember the last time I saw a ref chase a player and engage him and then throw a flag, couldn't believe that happened in a playoff game.

I’ve been saying this for so long. It’s unbelievable. Hire a group of refs full time where they’re only job is to study film, coordinate with each other to have consistently of calls, and go out and execute on sundays. It just has to happen in order to have any sort of consistency or just better execution across the board. Pay them well. Who the hell wants to be an nfl ref with their system now? It must be hard even fielding a good qualified group

[@owl104]

Well it’s a double edged sword, if you look at Umpires in baseball, they are full time, but are in a union. Unfortunately it’s one of those unions that are way too powerful. You can be the worst umpire in the world (Angel Hernandez), and you won’t be fired. Part time refs avoid that issue, but it’s much harder to train them. However it also *in theory* should make them more likely to be punished for blown calls, but you don’t see them being punished by New York.

[@hectorcastro8374]

Why should they? Unlike the coaches and players, the refs are not full time. It's a secondary job for them, they don't get the benefits or pay of the players and coaches. If a player or coach gets criticism nationwide, that's fine there getting paid millions. So unless the NFL wants to pay refs a lot more, they should be content with how refs are now.

[@hollownaruto2340]

@@hectorcastro8374 it's about accountability. If a red blows a call you can't just go "well they aren't full time".

[@macadelic2492]

We need to unite against bad reffing. It’s a real problem

[@Carlos2Dangerous]

It’s really not. As long as there are humans refing games there will be errors and missed calls. But the NFL is probably the best officiated league there is. Everyone is chasing this boogeyman but I’ve never heard someone offer a solution that works. You want penalties on the officials for blown calls? So then they’re scared to blow their whistle causing way too many no calls as opposed to bad calls? You have to accept imperfection as long as human judgement is involved.

[@Doctorboster]

@@Carlos2Dangerous the NFL is not a well officiated league, the MLB, NHL, AND MLS(or any tier 1 soccer league). The NFL sucks, the only league that is officiated worse is the NBA. The solution is have NFL Refs employed full time, studying film and treating their job... like a job. Then when they make bad calls, they should get suspended without pay so it affects their livelihood. Make them NEED to be good refs in order to keep their job

I’m the furthest thing from a fan of either of these teams but this was egregious. Refs doing anything other than calling legitimate penalties and otherwise doing their job, is sickening.

[@lolwut9226]

If the refs didn't have a union, neither would the players and they would also be at the mercy of the NFL. Bosa is more embarrassed more than anything else about the loss and about the fact he can't keep his cool when he is supposed to be a professional. But fans of the team want it one way, where their players can act unprofessional without consequence but the ref must always act professional....both are men and both act unprofessional but are protected by their union. If we want the refs to be held to a higher standard than the players, then they should be paid like it.
