Bring Back the Regular Refs

Tweet

This is getting ridiculous. Last week was bad enough when the refs clearly were losing control of the games. But this week shows enough is enough. So far, in just the early games: 1. Ref throws hat into field of play to mark out of bounds (umm, out of bounds, why is the hat in the field of player). Player steps on it and falls. Luckily player not hurt. But it meant that player was not available as receiver since he was down. 2. Receiver goes down with injury, clearly not advancing the ball any longer. Drops the ball due to extreme pain. Opposing team picks up ball and runs it in for a touchdown. Refs rule it is a touchdown. Then get it together and realize that the ball was dead at the drop. 3. Any call takes several minutes to decide which call is the least controversial. It is taking so long that the announcers are saying it will take several minutes to make a call. I am not saying the refs need to be paid whatever they are asking. But I am saying some compromise better be found quickly.
