[QUOTE="Kitten, post: 385655, member: 2692"] The problem I have with some of the new rules is they are somewhat inconsistent. It leaves room for a gray area and it causes confusion and discrepancy. There were a couple of calls that went against the Saints in the 1st half that I thought were questionable as did the commentators and the Saints coach. I forget the specifics of the plays but the Saints coach was as furious as I've ever seen him. The rules not only call into question the nature/ fairness of the rules themselves but the job performance of the ones throwing the flags. It comes down to officiating, a problem that seems to of carried over from last year. I like how every scoring play is subject to a booth review. That is going to save a lot of coaches from throwing their red flags. I don't like the defenseless player rule. Too much of a gray area and inconsistency in officiating. Rules that determine what is a complete pass (catch) and what is an incomplete pass need to be explicitly clear. I think the player should maintain control and possession of the football until he hits the ground. If the ball comes loose before he hits the ground, then I don't think that should be a complete pass. But that's just me. I don't make the rules and many football players should thank God I don't. To conclude, I really feel the name of the game with any rule is consistency and that leads us down the path of officiating. Good luck with that and welcome to the NFL. [/QUOTE]
