Oleg asked in SportsFootball (American) · 5 years ago

Does the ambiguity of certain rules mean the refs truly DO control the outcome of games now?

Their are WAY too many minor details that players have to take into account in a split second game like football, especially at its highest level. I just don't like the way the game has been taken out of the players hands and into the officials who are rarely disciplined for bad calls nor held to any sort of standard. I'm all for player safety but ticky tack things like "maintaining process throughout the process of the catch" and what not are unnecessary rules that are enforced. Thoughts?

    Yes I agree, I don't have anything else to add. However I am a Pats fan, and I'm glad that rule existed for Today. But tomorrow that rule should go.

    The game has gotten so smart it doesnt need common sense anymore, just trust the refs who make less than the players.

    Yes, I believe some of the rules should go but things like maintaining the catch...... it's the pros and as such it should be more difficult than college. those guys make millions of dollars. make them follow through with the catch
