Great post brother!

I will say yes, they should call it the same for EVERY game. You shouldn't change the rules because it's a "bigger" game.

Sometimes however, the refs aren't even consistent within the same game so it's really hard to say what is an "acceptable" standard for what should or shouldn't be called a penalty.

I think "consistency" is the main thing that needs improvement. It sure looks "suspicious" when suddenly a flag is thrown at a crucial time for something they have allowed all game.

I have said before that we need full time referees. It doesn't make sense to have part time refs in a billion dollar league.

Hire the best refs you can find as full timers and train them to be even better. Dedicate more time to making sure they are up to par and doing a good job.

Especially now that the league is in bed with the gamblers. Bad refs and blown calls are a recipe for disaster.

#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
