In response to "The Lions got hosed yesterday during one drive. The roughing the passer call that Fairley got was a complete effing joke. -- nm" by Shaun

well, I can't fault them for that, because the Lions built that rep for themselves.

but overall, I agree, there is way, WAY too much power in the refs hands. The defense is at such a disadvantage now with the rules the way they are.

Are we expecting too much from guys with 6-figure part-time jobs? -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:57 4
- But my example is ridiculous. The call on the field was right, there was no angle that seriously contradicted it, and the booth took their time ... - Spawn Dec 9, 08:00
- I expect them to let the players play, and don't be so damn flag happy. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:58 2
  - It's pretty amazing that some games can have 1-2 penalties, yet others have high teens/low 20s penalties. -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:59 1
    - the amount of hand fighting by WR and CB, and you can be sure that defense gets flagged 80% of the time - groiny Dec 9, 08:01
