Alfresco, from all that I have read, the zebras eventually made the correct call concerning the Seahawks time out scenario (Baldwin had dropped the ball, therefore stopping the clock) they just failed to notify the card's head coach. During the same game they had missed a request from the Arizona HC for a timeout, moments before the touchdown pass from Kolb to Roberts.
Some dodgy interpretations throughout, though we are used to seeing it from the pros! |

Cowboy`s Lee got knocked out of the game with a dirty illegal hit and they missed it, then called a personal foul on Dallas
 Some terrible calls again this week. NFL should pay the REAL officials the money. Sure, they are not perfect but a 100 times more efficient than the SCABS. |

They have been awful in the Rams game and you would expect that their incompetence would even out. But every bad call has gone agains the Rams and they are still 3 points up.

the Rams game has been embarrassing

It`s not just the Rams game, it`s every game across the board. And when they huddle up to make a questioned call, they take an eternity. They are not officiating in Arena football for nothing.
Another Dreadful one just made in Pittsburgh.  |

Thought he'd scored a TD, ruled short, spiked the ball in disgust. 15 yd penalty, obviously Fisher not impressed.

From the games i've seen and reading about the others they've been shambolic this week, much worse than last week......it's terrible that a multi million dollar industry like the NFL can't get it sorted......never saw it but just reading Peter Kings MMQB about the Ravens Philly game, he more or less couldn't believe what he saw on one play.
Just imagine them officiating in the play offs  |

Several crews were dreadful this week. The players/staff seem to be taking advantage of the replacements intimidated state. Plenty of brawls in the Ravens/Eagles and Redskins/Rams games, other then a few flags, many in the Eagles game offsetting the initial call, they were allowed to continue chipping away at each other.
I'm sometimes amazed and left aghast at some of the unsportsmanlike calls we have witnessed over the last few years, though you can appreciate the necessity when witnessing some of the scenes yesterday. Mike Carlsen, stated last evening that the dispute is over pensions. I agree with his sentiments when he states that they are already being paid a healthy sum of money when compared to the average annual wage. (I hope that I have quoted him correctly, it was mentioned at during the early hours of this morning) Trouble is the holdouts are gaining leverage with each passing week and inept performance. |

Peter King says the league paid a sum which worked out at $43,000 per man into the officials pension in 2011 and are only offering just over $16,000 dollars this time around.....a big difference.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. Obviously the corporate affairs of the NFL are worlds apart from the U.S economy, I can appreciate, to a certain extent, their stance. Although it will not endear them to the paying, blue collar public.
