Can These Refs Not Get Fired? Please?!?

Every time.

They're taught to let the play run through to the end because they can, in theory, overturn a fumble. They cannot go back and give the defense a fumble return for a touchdown if they blow the whistle dead.

What the league needs to stop doing is telling these guys to rely on replay to get the call right and tell them to make the right call to begin with.

 

They made another bad call for personal foul on sherff late in the first half. The run was directly behind sherff, he was engaged with the LB then as thompson(?) went down, about a have second later sherff finished his pancake. They called it a PF.

This crew is bad.

 

but to the argument of them making the F'n call, say they call it incomplete then review. If the opponent had a clear recovery, they still get the ball where it was picked up.

Refs just letting replay do the work, they're too scared or don't care to make the call on their own. This is leading to very bad ref calls.

 

thing is.... the TD might be your only chance at getting it right cause if the tackle is made short of TD then no automatic review...

just pointing this out.



make the correct call real time. Thats the job

 

AND even when I played football in HS we were taught to treat every play like that as if the ball were live.

That bad call is really on the Titans' Coaching. If the players were coached to play that ball as if it were live; one of our players could/would've gotten on that ball. Hell we might of had a chance to take it to the house. It's a lack of fundamental COACHING. No matter how bad the call was; & agree it was a bad call. If the team had been coached well; it would not have mattered. We would've ended up with the ball; instead of sitting there watching the guy return it.

 

I disagree. I think they should go the other way and limited the replays even more so the refs actually have to make the calls. In the early 2000's the only replays were from coach challenges.

They review entirely too much now. One byproduct is slowing down the game (don't care so much on that). The other is that refs don't make close calls and rely on replay to make it for them. Then you also rely on the "not 100% evidence to overturn" rule. The refs should be good enough to make every single call accurate, but for the couple they get wrong, coach challenge should be enough.

 

i thought all TO were reviewed.
