Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3108353, member: 652"] You obviously didn’t care to get the facts before this opinion. The NFL hired 24 refs full time 3 years ago and has 80% of them Hired as full time since then. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2017/08/09/full-time-referees-officiating-positions-nfl/553366001/[/URL] The officiating sucks because the refs don’t do their jobs well. There is no excuse for the ref blowing that fumble dead today and cost the Saints a TD. They are taught to let the play go and then replay can review. Instead the ref flat screwed the Saints. Last week the refs screwed the Saints out of a last minute drive. The roughing the passer call in Denver swung a game to Chicago. Officials need to get better. A clear majority of them are full time now. [/QUOTE]
