The new NFL and penalties

[BillsOwnAll]

Man I forgot how bad it is. Everything's a penalty, when was they last time you seen a punt return without one? It's not just the bills either

Hey, Hochuli needs these practice games to get into regular season shape too ya know.

[The Toe Show]

The roughing the passer call on the Eagles is a perfect example.

[BillsOwnAll]

The 3 penalties on one punt return for the eagles.. hard to imagine how they see 3 of 11 players commit penalties

[Scumbag College]

This is a rotten product. There's been penalties on about a dozen plays so far.

****ing brutal

Between the really bad calls, and the really bad 'misses' that aren't called, the sport resembles the NBA, and that's not a good thing.

The NFL is largely unwatchable.

If I wasn't emotionally invested in the Bills, I'd literally never watch a single game. This is no longer a compelling sport like it was in the 80s and 90s (or for you non-millennials, how cool it must have been going back even further).

I can't even remember the last Superbowl I watched.

Last Superbowl I watched through was Baltimore and San Fran and before that the Rams Titans one

Glad I'm not the only one.

The NFL is a **** brand IMO.

If it wasn't for fantasy football, even the emotional attachment to the Bills could keep my interest anymore. My job took me to Michigan so I don't get to see the Bills that much, because I won't pay the NFL money for the game pass. Even when they are on network TV I find myself watching The Red Zone so I can keep up with my fantasy player. Hell I even draft Dolphins and Cowboy players now, lol.

I thought I read somewhere that the NFL approved that they would have full time refs starting this season

yes here it is...

Full-time game officials will be on the field this season.

The NFL will hire up to 24 full-time game officials for the 2017 season from its current crop of 124 officials, the league and the NFL Referees Association announced Wednesday.

The NFL and the NFLRA agreed to experiment with full-time officials as part of the last collective bargaining agreement and the NFLRA approved the move. The program will allow current officials to apply to become full-time.

Full-time officials will be hired at each of the seven officiating positions.

Been trending in this direction for a few years. Even fantasy football bores me now. I used to watch every game every week. Now I watch the bills til the loss is probable, then i turn it off. I used to watch nfl network all the time too, but I haven't turned that on in years. Penalties, rule changes and over commercialization have ruined the game.
