the fact that the NFL over the last, what, 2 seasons...cut to 'rules experts' during the game tells you all you need to know about how messed up all of this is.
when networks need to employ 'rules experts' to explain to viewers why what they just witnessed is wrong.... you know your rule book is too large, complicated, and confusing. add in the fact the 'rules experts' are probably receiving some compensation from the NFL to tow the line / protect the dumbass calls on the field.

Technology for many things. Ball issues/ placement/ movement/ etc. for example
vice 3 fat guys on chains being told by another fat guy that his left foot marks forward progress and no fumble due to a whistle from a different fat guy. Wouldn’t slow down or require reviews. Would likely speed up the game. Get as many humans out of the loop as possible. Not really what nflis considering: https://operations.nfl.com/the-game/technology/ |

There is no “epidemic”. The officiating this year is going exactly as planned in the eyes of the league.

It's bad enough when they make blatantly wrong calls. But then they go to review and still **** it up.
They hired the mother****er that blew the whistle on a sack fumble and claimed "forward progress" as one of their damn rules experts. They don't want to get it right. |

Refs should be told to keep the flags in their pocket and only call if it's blatant. I would grade the officials on how few penalties they call and the quality. Officials should also be held accountable, just like players. Blakeman should be suspended for at least two games without pay for his two blunders.

Part of the reason they use lawyers and people from other professional occupations is theoretically they should be less likely to be paid off and bribed and are financially stable. Not sure I buy into that theory, but you don't want some shitbag who is hurting for money out there calling penalties either.

Bellicheck wants everything reviewable. Which makes sense because your limited in the number of challenges available. But, what if they challenge 5 times and win all? Now they are getting 8 challenges, slowing down the game.
They’d have to impose a limit on total challenges even if they are successful.

A person can claim conspiracy or incompetence or unconscious bias or simply that the game has become too complicated.
While I think more than one of those things exist, I think a very simple answer is that the game has become too complicated. Because we now have instant replay and reviews, we have to make the rules more and more precise, which them makes every play a penaltyfest. The officials call the ones that are blatant or that they think they should call ('he touched Tom!') and leave others alone. No wonder everyone is dissatisfied. They need to simplify the rules. Allow holding on both offense and defense, but then give the other side some other rules concession to combat it. Make fewer things penalties and you'll call fewer penalties. Holding calls are 75 percent of the problem these days if you really look at it, particularly defensive holding, and the other 25 percent is personal fouls and pass interference. No one complains about offsides or illegal motion or any of the other 500 rules in the book. So addressing those calls and finding a solution other than calling a penalty is the key. The game is rapidly becoming unwatchable. I bet 25 to 35 percent of the Chiefs' offensive plays in the first quarter last week were nullified due to penalties. No one wants to watch that.
