There are few times I feel like I should rant about something, then, I looked back to the Steelers game this past Sunday. If you didn’t see the game, it ended with a historic score of 11-10 giving the Steelers there lowest score margin this season and this being the first time in MANY years that there has been a 11-10 score in the NFL. Here is where this wouldn’t have happened, San Diego did some trick play where they continuously lateralled the ball to each other until Strong Safety Troy Polamalu had enough of it and disrupted one of the passes, causing a fumble and taking it back for a TD. The score would have been 18-10 Steelers win…but no, after a review…nooo…After a Referee Meeting, They called back the ruling that it was a TD because of an “Illegal Forward Pass”.
I saw the highlights, and not once did I see an illegal FORWARD pass. NFL Refs these days are in need of a vision plan, because they fuck up more calls than NBA Refs do during the NBA Playoffs. I know your saying “Norm that’s harsh” but its TRUE. Tell me the last time you didn’t see a Referee in the NFL fuck up big time…don’t worry, I’ll wait……….Actually I can’t wait cause I have to finish this post, but I’ll take you back to early this season in San Diego. Its Broncos vs Chargers, and there was a certain play that was blown dead that should have been a Fumble. Broncos get another chance and they win the game. Last season alone, the NFL Officianating was bad to the point it cost two teams advancement into the playoffs.
During the offseason, these problems were suppose to be fixed. The Referees have their own type of practice during Training Camps, and yet, this season, they still can’t seem to get it right. I guess its time to sit back and watch another week of football where a ref will eventually fuck up a game because he possibly put a wager down for that team to win…its rediculous.
