You know, after watching those games yesterday, I am more confused than ever about the actual problem with the officiating.
I don't think it is a single issue.
The game/rules has become too complicated and fast for them to even be above average on accuracy. It seems like when the pace is slow, they get it right, but when it gets hectic, the officials cave.
Throw in the human factor of the home crowd, NFL marketing agendas and we have the current product.
That hit yesterday at the end of the Redskins game on the receiver was just astounding that it didn't draw a flag. The official just ignored it when confronted. I would bet it will draw a fine.
I have seen numerous hits on QBs in the last week that were much rougher than those that were drawing roughing calls earlier in other games.
All three favorites covered yesterday. Coincidence? I honestly have no idea what is going on, other than entertainment.
