Maybe not to the point where they favor particular teams like a lot of people claim, but certainly to the point where you don't really know what you're going to get away with when the game starts. I feel that the rules are not enforced evenly from game to game and it's frustrating. It gets even worse when the rule enforcement doesn't seem to be consistent from play to play. Calling PI on one team for incidental contact, then not calling it on the other team in the next drive for something much more blatant isn't going to get a lot of people on your side.
What is a referee salary? Maybe they need to pay these dudes better, and give them the boot when they frequently allow games to get out of hand like they did last night. That would be incentive to do your job a little better.
I feel a lot of it is the fact that refereeing is a side job for these guys. Make them full time employees.
