So answer my question instead of trying to flip it.

Do you have something that tells you that claim is remotely true? Some published stats of some sort? Or, perhaps it was because they wanted the refs who are most on board with the NFL's saga storyline and narrative.

Common sense. There are something like 64 active officials in the NFL, now imagine how many have retired, been fired, replaced or whatever over the last 25 years for example.

You going to actually believe all these people involved in this conspiracy over the years and never a peep about it from any of them or anyone else involved in the NFL which would total probably 500+ people?

I just asked for the NFL's scoring sheet that showed these folks were the best. Actually I'd like to see all the scoring sheets! And I'd like to know how they're scored. All we know now is they NFL claimed they were the best, but nothing to back it up that I know of.

Wouldn't it be great to know if the NFL has a "totally blown calls" and "s/he missed THAT O-line hold"?

Doesn't that sentiment go both ways? You are speaking just as matter of fact as he is, and have just as much to go on as he does.

I just want to know how the NFL scores their officials and where each ranks. With a sport the "stat'd" to the nth degree, is that too much to ask? If not, what are they hiding?

That's a whole different question altogether. I'd be right there with you on that one. I personally would love it if officials also made statements after the game. I think European soccer does it if I remember correctly. I guess it might make the mob even more angry, but for me I would actually be able to get over calls if I actually heard the human being explain himself.

Having them speak and take questions would be a watermelon-sized cherry on top, but for now I'd just like to see how the NFL scores their officials, and where each ranks. But alas, all the speaking they do is done with a yellow flag with no apparent repercussions.

Thats not an unreasonable idea as much shit as I give you about other ideas.

This is directed at everyone, but NJChiefsFan's comment made me think about it.

We know that no human being is perfect, so we can't reasonably expect 100 percent accuracy and consistency on officials' calls. If we fed truth serum to officials and then interviewed them, they'd admit on some calls that they messed up. Even if they don't, a detailed review would show errors on some calls.

So recognizing that we can't find a perfect official, what's the minimum accuracy rate that's acceptable? Is it 90%? 95%? 99%? 99.0%? Assume that these are errors that aren't corrected via review.

It would be easier to swallow if it weren't 90% of the blown calls against one team or for another. Just sayin' man.

That's a good point. So maybe the key isn't improving officiating, but being sure that it's consistent. I don't know if that's easier to solve, but it might be.

I'd like to ask them why a tug of the jersey in the secondary is a penalty and a spot foul, but jersey tugs on the O-line aren't, and why don't they call it when Chiefs defenders have the O-linemen's arms wrapped around their necks? And "I didn't see it" isn't OK, it's happen right in front of them, that's a lie. I know the answer is, "The NFL says it wants more scoring", we all know that, I just want to hear them admit it.
