All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Officials complain league is hanging them out to dry
Officials complain league is hanging them out to dry
......"Morale right now is the lowest it has ever been since I've been in the league," one veteran game official, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Times. "There is just massive confusion right now. There is also disgust with the league office. They are hanging us out to dry when they are completely aware of the problems that exist."
The problem is they are a bunch of incompetent morons.
NFL officials have come under heavy scrutiny in the last few weeks in the wake of a couple of controversial calls in the NFL playoffs. However, one game official now says the league is 'hanging us out to dry.'
The NFL is no longer protecting their incompetence. Before this year you never heard about these memos being sent to teams after games telling them how the refs screwed up. It's also not like the NFL didn't give them a tool (IR) which they STILL can't use correctly and circumvent by blowing quick whistles. Make them full-timers and have them train like the athletes do, to make them physically and mentally sharper.
No what screwed the Bills was the quick whistle and a ref BEHIND the play making the call. Green more than made a "football move" and there was no reason for the ref to blow the play dead and make it unreviewable, except to cover his own incompetence.
I feel the refs should be more accountable. Screw them if they feel the league is pressuring them. Maybe they should realize people take the NFL seriously and to referee in the NFL you should have it has your full-time job.
Mistakes happen now and again, but these officials have standardized mistakes in pro football. I could give a rat's a$$ how low their morale is. Fact is, if they performed more accurately, they wouldn't find themselves under this type of scrutiny.
Originally posted by TigerJ No sympathy here. Football has become a game of wondering how the refs will screw up next.
No kidding! After every good play, you have to pray for no flag. I'm always looking for the yellow icon by the score and time. It should not be that way!
