Easy to fix this. Make NFL rules more black/white, remove judgement everywhere possible and PLAY BALL!

After the Browns lost last week to the Seahawks, Cleveland coach Freddie Kitchens opted not to discuss officiating. "I got a memo the other day,' Kitchen said. I am not commenting on it. You guys saw the game.' He's not the only one who got the memo. On October 11 (two days before the Seahawks-Browns [more]

That’s bull.
They should be able to voice their opinions/thoughts about the officials.
If the zebras don’t do their jobs, shouldn’t they be held accountable?
JMO of course.
If they want to stop the criticism, have refs that know what they are doing.
I know they have a difficult job, but the NFL needs to make their job easier by fixing the rules.

Like in the good old days.

Me feeling is the replays are good but the way they handle them are bad. I believe the replay official should be able to look at the replay views once in real time and once in slow motion, if it's indisputable they should be able to see it. To me if you have to watch and re-watch it's automatically disputable.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

NFL Inc is too insecure. They have to be able to live with the fact that officials are going to make poor calls and teams are going to say what they think about said calls. Fining players or organizations for giving their opinion is stupid. It doesn't remove the problem it only masks it. It's kind of naive on their part. It reminds me of my grandson. He crawls into a box and pulls the one flap in front of him. He is hiding and no one can see him. It doesn't matter that 3/4 of his body isn't even in the box, if you can't see his face you can't see him.

Except for the Green Bay Packers I won’t even watch the bullshit product that the NFL puts on tv.
I didn’t even watch yesterday’s Packers game, it was too nice a day to sit in my chair and watch an NFL game and get pissed off.
My wife and I took a pleasant walk in the woods.
I’m certainly very happy that the Packers won but I found out that I didn’t even miss it.

Wonder if Booger Got the same memo?

He was following "The ESPN" playbook of trying to create a story instead of adding color commentary to the game, which is his real job!

It's not the refs, it's the absolute dumpster fire The NFL has created and can't figure out how to put it out.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

The college system of review is much better. guys with the technology quickly make the call, and can initiate the review. There seems to be a higher threshhold to overturn, which I think is good.

Perhaps, no PI reviews (even from the booth) until the last 5 min per half would be good.

Unfortunately, the egos in the NFL will not allow them to adopt the college system, or a derivative thereof....unless of course it was endorsed by Jay Z

Mucky Tundra (10h) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (11h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (11h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (11h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : you're right, we never did leave, the site just went down :P

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin
