But one thing that's always been curious is there's seemingly never anything to fix. It's not like the NFL has to publicly fine refs or whatever.... but, like with the Rams/Saints crew that went on to officiate the SB that year, it's just a terrible look.
And shit like last night should be fire-able, really.

Seriously. It wasn't like TB needed that much help. Our OL was obviously completely outmatched on the edges, which was my only fear going into the game. And unfortunately I was completely right. Remmers and Wylie didn't hold up at all; they were going backwards so fast on many of those snaps you'd have thought they were wearing roller skates. They were so overmatched I doubt that we would've found a way to win even if the refs hadn't decided to treat the game as a preseason live practice. But when they not only took away our DBs ability to play their brand of defense at all, and curiously didn't throw any flags at their DBs/LBs, they effectively eliminated any chance for KC to even make a game of it.
And I just have to question why it was necessary at all. Why change the way they officiated this game? They could've just pulled that shit when we played CLE or BUF.
Just doesn't make any sense.
