I have a close friend and client who played for the Eagles for 8 years and he tells me the players think the officials are a joke. He says they cannot keep up and are often out of position.
His solution- take college players who could not make the league and turn them into full-time professional refs.
The officiating in the NFL is a disgrace and is or will contribute to the decline in the popularity.
Until NFL starts losing money, GODell will do nothing to improve this problem.
That seems like a pretty good solution. The thing that really irks me, is missing OBVIOUS replay calls. How in the hell do you get it wrong twice? Hell, if you're not gonna fix the issue, then quit dragging the games out with replay that is essentially useless.
