How terrible are NFL refs?

Look no further than the Redskins getting screwed on a replay that clearly showed Allstot was down in before getting in the end zone!

Maybe you should blame the idiot defender who was offsides on the PAT instead of whining about the refs. Then again, whining is what Redskins fans do best. Go cry somewhere else, please.

I haven't had a problem with the replay in the college or professional level, but I have had a problem with the refs in the NFL since the beginning of last season. Ever since that one Colts-Patriots playoff game, the refs have been making some terrible, terrible calls. Especially when it comes to making contact with skill position players. Football is a contact sport, and they've seemed to forgotten that. It's ridiculous.

NFL refs are supposed to be the best. They get the best training. Make the most money. And actually are well organized.

College refs truly suck! The whole idea of instant replay in college football is to cover how bad they are in general. They are amateurs. They make the least money. They get the least training.

I don't know what angle you saw......but every angle I saw had him in the endzone.

Actually as far as money goes, Pee-Wee Football refs make the least.

Lowest To Highest Paid Officials
Little League/Pee-Wee
Flag Football
High School/JV and Freshman(They ref JV and Fresh games because they aren't good enough to make it on Fridays)
High School
College
OR
Pros/Arena League
Pros/NFL

I've had good experiences and bad experiences with refs this year. One game we had against Licking Valley, we actually had a college crew for the game(6 refs instead of a regular Varsity game 5 refs). They were making calls that weren't even calls in high school football, but were calls in college. Don't remember what they were, but I know our coach was letting them hear it. In the State Playoffs there is susposed to be the best refs, but the refs we had in our game this year we either homers for Canfield or just simply didn't know what they were doing.

One replay showed he was down, elbow on the ground, then a lineman pulled the ball over. I had a room full of people saying he was down, and I was the only Redskins fan.

edit: I'll just take the last line out, no need to start anything.

Oh, and Sober, go [censored] yourself.

To my knowledge, an elbow is not down. But maybe thats just me. I think the elbow is considered along the lines of the hand on the ground. I haven't seen the play, but from what i've heard, I think he was in.
