I know, the refs are human and people make mistakes, but there are FAR too many mistakes and it's having an effect on the results.
And the inconsistency is annoying. Both Brady and Mahomes were "protected" with awful calls that impacted the game this past weekend, and yes, Josh has some questionable ones go in his favor too. Meanwhile, somehow that Hamlin hit on Pickett isn't a foul?
Personally, I don't think the Hamlin hit was a foul because Hamlin committed to the hit before Pickett committed to the slide, but it's really irrelevant to this discussion. The league claims they are trying to protect QB's. It's hard to comprehend how they can claim that when Mahomes and Brady get calls on plays that aren't dangerous, meanwhile Pickett can't get a flag on a vicious hit. They're not accomplishing the goal.
