Well after the intertouchdownception, a few things are clear. First and for most, no matter how bad we all thought the old refs might have been, we were dead wrong. Second, it's not see easy being a ref. Third and what I think is the most important, the nfl and the commish could care less about us as fans, the players safety, and the integrity of the game that is makin them money
I am sorry to all my packer fan out there. You got hosed. By the footlocker refs, by the league, and by Roger Goddell. Welcome to this saints fans life. How they put a product out there that allows for something like this to happen is beyond me.
On Goddells watch we have had a work/league stoppage and strike, a ref league stoppage and strike, the league being sued for millions for not being safe and a group of arbitrator judges reverse suspensions handed down because they were unjust. But the people he wok for, the owners, allow him to keep his job. I guess money really does talk.
That embarrassment on Monday night shows just how little the NFL owners and commish care about us as fans and the integrity of the product they put out. Joe Flacco mentioned that a week ago and people laughed. Now what do you think?
Also and more importantly, Flacco also mentioned and the players association mentioned in a letter to the league, the risk of injuries with these refs out there. most people blew I off. In the Pitt vs Oakland game, Hayward-Bay was knocked unconscious with a helmet to helmet hit. He didn't move for 11 minutes. Thankfully he is ok. How is this the refs fault, THERE WASN'T EVEN A PENALTY CALLED ON THE PLAY!!! Someone is going to get fined (and rightfully so) 15k for a hit he didn't even get a penalty for. This is insane.
What if he would have seriously gotten hurt? GODDELL is running around yelling about a bounty program that he can't prove existed but he let's officials into games that can't control the players and action on the field.
With all this I'll ask the same question Drew Brees asked this morning. Who's integrity should be questioned now?
