Should NFL Refs Be, "Suspended," For Horrible Calls?

[BillsImpossible]

Why are NFL referees like TV weather anchors? No matter how wrong they are about the weather, they never lose their jobs or suffer the consequences like most people do if they screw up.

No, they should not be suspended. But at the end of the year, if they make more than 2% of calls wrong, they should be fired.

@PFF_Pete: Marcell Dareus has 21 run stops this season. No other defensive tackle in the league has more than 14. #Bills

That was through 7 games.

wow, if NFL officials were suspended for bad calls, there'd be no-one left to ref games by week 10

Marcell Dareus was 28th in the NFL for DT for tackles behind the LOS, that's awesome.

They should just fire them but Vegas probably wouldn't go for that.

Re: Should NFL Refs Be, "Suspended," For Horrible Calls?

Anybody that feels the need to put Dareus down doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

Also, I've always felt that the refs should be fined money for completely incompetent calls. They should be held responsible monetarily.

I agree 100%. If they started getting fined maybe they wouldn't give it to the home and elite teams every chance they could.

Re: Should NFL Refs Be, "Suspended," For Horrible Calls?

never happen. The refs are an extension of the NFL ... they are going to pay them more for keeping calling the games the way the NFL wants them called not fine them.

It would be nice if there was some accountability.

Okay...I want to see you officiate one game, and when you're spinning in circles, we'll hold you to the same standard.

If you have never officiated a game, at any level, you have no standing to make this call.

Re: Should NFL Refs Be, "Suspended," For Horrible Calls?

This thread is asinine. Stop the conspiracy ****...human error is part of the game in the officiating, just as it is on the field. You earn the calls that you get.
