[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 578396, member: 9364"] I understand that, and maybe I should've given the ref a bit of a benefit of a doubt, but you see what I mean in how it looks? It's on TV and when you see a player make a gesture like that and then the ref all the sudden throw a flag on the field when it seems like the play has been over for a while, it makes it look poor on the official's part and only aggravates fans even more. I brought it up too because I was so sure I had heard somewhere that players and coaches would be penalized if they attempted to use such gestures at the ref whether or not they thought a flag would be thrown. I may be mistaken by that, but if not, that's something the NFL should institute if they're gonna make it fair. Because think about it, we already see flags being thrown over the smallest taunting stuff ever, Clay Matthews got the yellow on that last week against Carolina for that even though he really did nothing to warrant it. I'm just saying if you're gonna do that for one thing, do it for everything else in that category. Again for everyone else, this is not blaming the refs for losses, it's criticizing the league for a shoddy job done. Like cali cheese and a few others have pointed, there are grading systems in place, and I've even heard that back judges, sidline people, umpires, and other crew members from last year or years before are being replaced, but I think the problem lies deeper and is coming from the upper echelons of the league offices. Like another said, the NFL needs to slow down on their rule changes and rulebook making, or make the refs full-time employees who get 40 hour/week training programs to help them figure out how to better make calls, or something. Fans just want to see consistency and it needs to get done. [/QUOTE]
