People say to me that it's no big deal since both teams are playing under the same bad officiating, but it does matter. These calls all effect the game. Had a decent set of refs been in that game, who knows, maybe the result stays the same, but the game would have been much different. That's what is frustrating. We all know we're not seeing the game as it is meant to be played. And pacing is a huge problem, too. The time wasted because reviews are so much more necessary makes it more boring to watch than baseball, and it gives defenses a chance to rest while possibly killing an offense's rhythm.

Wish the NFL would just pay up, the greedy bastiches.
