Re: The NFL Playoff Officiating Policy is DUMB

Is it just me, or doesn't it seem like every year the officiating gets worse in the playoffs?

They have officials working in TEAMS throughout the preseason and regular season, but then pull out the super star referees for the playoffs. Officiating, like team sports, is a collaborative activity -- the best team isn't necessarily composed of the most super stars. I'm hard-pressed to think of a activity in which this approach leads to the best performance. (Which is not to say one doesn't exists... but it ain't NFL officiating!)

The NFL should be striving for officiating consistency from pre-season through the Superbowl. This idea that "they should let they play" during the playoffs is nonsense. The best teams of officials should should work the playoffs.

Agreed Salsa. IMO, consistency is the major issue. Is it a catch or not is a good example. And another is why do they "let them play" in the Playoffs but not in the season? If you are going to "let them play", let them play all the time!

#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
