I don’t post this stuff often. But at both the NFL and college level, something has to be done about the over-officiating we’re seeing these days. I’m not emotional. Neither my college nor NFL team played this weekend. Didn’t care who won any of these games. But watching this Packers-Lions game - after watching football all weekend - it’s never been more clear. I think we’d all way rather they miss something that happened than call something that didn’t. Instead, officials are calling things that looked like they MIGHT have happened, not things that definitely DID happen. They are trigger happy. If it looks like it might have been (pick your infraction), that flag flies. Then often we see it DIDN’T happen. Football officiating is really hard. I get it. Officials are trying to get it right. But someone HAS to tell these dudes don’t throw unless you know. It’s killing the flow of games. And the cause of what seems to be more missed calls than ever. Any way, for what it’s worth.
