jonattonyeah off the top of my head: the rules are all slanted toward the offense (can’t touch a qb or receiver, tackling is random as are the penalties), i don’t know what a catch is, i don’t know what holding is, there is zero consistency from one play to another (forget between games, crews, or week to week). how can tennis tell if a ball touched a line at 100 mph, but the nfl doesn’t have a goal line camera? the refs can’t spot a ball with any degree of accuracy, don’t know half the rules themselves, have little training, zero accountability, the replay system is behind a black curtain and they get it wrong at least as often as they get it right.
add to that that the raiders have led the league in penalties for 500 years, which is statistically impossible (not just penalties called, but the timing and their impacts — which has been analyzed and the results are impossible without continued and massive league bias). look at the inadvertent whistle in the bengals game, the rule is clear, but they allow the play to stand. it happens every week to different degrees and i think i’m just burnt out on the whole thing.
