    You guys are forgetting that being a ref is really hard work and they need a break sometimes. Don't be so hard on them as everyone makes mistakes and it's really hard to see everything that's going on. I mean, just look at how big the field is...

      I don’t understand why the guys in NY who sometimes are allowed to chime in under the guise of Replay Assist,aren’t allowed to chime in and say we think you missed two flagrant fouls. There’s rarely a game where they don’t miss a call or make a call that has everyone scratching their head. There’s also multiple refs from different angles on every play,and on this play all the refs are down there on a relatively small part of the field.

        @Jett129 I don't understand it either. My post was made in jest and I can't conceivably figure out why they miss blatant calls especially with the tools they have available to them.

        Pretty much feel the same way about baseball...

          I just recently learned that the refs themselves can be fined when they miss flagrant fouls.

            @Mizmazzle Does that start with teams making complaints or is there a review process from higher ups? Did not know they were doing that but think it's much needed.

              I don't think the refs can be fined but they should be. Please correct me if I am wrong. Players can be fined for criticizing the refs though.

              Edit: during the Raven's game last Sunday against the Broncos, one of the announcers (Romo?) made a dry joke saying something along the lines of, "perhaps that ref should be fined". Is that what you heard?

                I wasn’t aware the refs could be fined until I heard a commentator state a couple weeks ago, “that official will definitely be getting fined for missing that call.”

                I was just reading there is an officiating committee that reviews every game and each officiant gets a review of performance after each game with training materials to improve performance. If they are consistently underperforming they can be punished and penalized, not have their year to year contracts renewed, and only the highest performing officials are used in the post season.

                  @Oaktavia hmm…that might be what I’m recalling. I’ve been reading several articles and it seems that performance reviews are the primary form of action against refs with non-renewals being the result of consistently high errors.

                    @goosehd You totally got me as I thought you were 100% serious. My understanding is that every week,every ref is graded on their performance and at the end of the year,the top rated refs are chosen to work the playoffs and ,ultimately,the Super Bowl. They show the replays on the screens everyone sees them.

                      They make bad calls because baseball is boring, a game lasts 14 hours, and after five minutes everyone has fallen asleep or is on their way to get a beer.

                      Cricket on the other hand is as riveting on the morning of day 1 as at the end of day 5

                        @Tago-Mago That is the beauty of baseball though...the boring part is a way to moderate and pace your drinking throughout the game. 🙂

                          @goosehd because the queue at the beer stall stretches around the concourse?

                                    How bout those Chiefs. Denver did everything possible to win that game,and me and probably a million other people thought it was over. Condolences to @Mizmazzle you deserved to win that one. Had you picked The Broncos in the pool you would be the new front runner for the worst beat of the year award.

                                          @Mizmazzle I sincerely feel for you man. They kicked the Chief’s ass all over the field for a lot of the game. Really impressed with the Broncos pass rush…thought they were going to put Mahomes on a stretcher. And also impressed with Nix, hard to believe he’s a rookie. Just an unbelievable result
