officiating

SloMotion · 12-07-2015, 04:16 AM

IDK if I think this every year, but the officiating is the worst I've ever seen. The calls, the non-calls, the game-changing calls ... seems like it's happening in every game, every week. Is the game too fast for 'em? Do they need full-time refs? Do they need to review every call? What's the answer? It is affecting the outcome of games,

I honestly wonder if this isn't true ... I mean, FF is obviously a money-maker, so why not tailor/move the game to a more individual player concept? It'll be like betting on jai-lai or horse racing,

, the Lions don't need any help losing in the last plays of a game, but that was definitely a different twist,

. I was sitting there thinking, with :30 seconds left, that if you give Rodgers the ball, he's gonna' score ... but I was surprised at that ending,

Not every team has a cornerback that will hold your hand and lead you down the field. The Panthers offense is pretty average.

I think the Panther's strength is in their overall game, every unit is pretty tough in it's own right & they have a pretty competent coaching staff, IMO.

The fantasy aspect makes it probably for individual players to manipulate their own stats. Say someone is playing in one of these million dollar fantasy leagues. For arguements sake his opponent that week has Sneed as a player who has been lighting it up statistically for New Orleans but New Orleans is still 2-13. Snead doesnt make much money and this guy approaches him and says he will break him off half a mil if he takes a dive for the week. I know its improbably but if I just came up with that scenario off the top of my head someone smarter will fine a way to manipulate the system.
I just dont like the implications of what could happen with high dollar fantasy games.
