    They need to hire younger refs. No reason a guy like Gerry Austin should have been trying to keep up with world class athletes for as long as he was.

    I can agree with that.
    I also would still like to see challengeable penalties and less subjective calls. Get some clear writing in the rule book.

    1. Pass interference needs to be egregious enough to call itself. The hand fighting that gets called for a 25-yard penalty needs to stop.
    2. The CFL allows some penalties to be reviewed. The NFL should take note.
    3. Ball carriers, mostly receivers, who duck their heads to protect themselves are no longer "defenseless," considering they are defending themselves.

    Agree entirely on the PI. I'd like refs to stop responding to the crying too. We've all seen the Brady/Manning crybaby thing, but I think every single WR is guilty of it. Maybe add a 5 yd penalty for crying about it?

    BIG TT has been saying this for decades. Now if the NFL could only take PED and HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE seriously.

    @Small PP just gets made when people make fun of cycling for doping.

    "Show me a failed drug test!"-- @Small PP regarding Lance Armstrong. Lol.

    And they will still make bad calls all the time.

    It's not like these refs just get thrown out there in the preseason right now. From what I understand they go through a ton of training and constant performance reviews etc. Plus most of them have been refs for a long time. Slapping the title of "full time ref" on the same old guys that have been bad for ages wont make much of a difference on the field because NO ONE has a clear definition of some of the rules that are in place.
