I have heard some voices stating that the regular season officials make mistakes also... And that is very correct but here is my take and my problem.

Missing a holding call, calling holding when it didn't happen, bad ball spotting, questionable pass interference calls all human error both this preseason and regular season.... It happens and not much can be done.

However


Wrong calls, and not understanding the rules in the NFL is a huge fkin problem.

Back to back pass interference calls against the Jags moved the ball down field for them. In college a PI call is 15 yards, in the NFL its a spot foul. One Pi call was not pass interference, and the other was un-catchable which would negate that PI call also.
-Press Coverage according to NCAA Rules ...must disengage AFTER 5 ydrs OR it's a pass interference penalty...
- In the NFL contact is allowed. (with stipulations)

Officials spotting the ball on college hash and not PRO hash..

Runners being called down with out contact.

Spotting the ball where an incomplete pass was called then nailing the offense for delay of game as they try to figure out WTF? Only to have the ball re-spotted where it should have been in the first place.

One of my biggest problems especially for the Saints Offense that is rhythm oriented is that these replacement refs completely kill rhythm and make the games last way too long.
