I did see something interesting today. After an incomplete pass in the chargers falcons game, Rivers and the head coach spent a long time talking to an official about how they believed it was holding. I saw the replay and it was barely anything compared to what we deal with on no calls, but I guarantee this helps there cause.
Simple reason. People in general do not like to be hassled. If you complain enough, people will generally start to see things your way or at least look into more in order to not get yelled at as much. This s true in all walks of life.
In short, we need to actually complain on the field in order for anything to happen. If we continue to take it, it will continue to happen.
People in an authority role do not generally take well to their competence being questioned. Officials are in a position of authority, and arguing about calls insinuates that you believe they are incompetent. They are more likely to really give you something to complain about than just fold to your way of thinking. Coaches and players have no power to effectively complain anymore, because Goodell and Blandino will cover for any bs they call.
