IN.

At least 3 times in the Saints/Eagles game, the officials threw a flag, discussed it and then changed their ruling. Its like the stance is to always throw a flag and then go from there.

Only 5 penalties accepted, but there have been a bunch declined or picked up so far. Its the thing that infuriates me the most with the NFL.

It is really frustrating. How many penalties did throw in the Saints-Dallas game last Sunday? I felt like walking out at one point after 5 straight plays with penalties.

Brutal.

When in doubt, throw the flag, then figure out the penalty.

It's beginning to get worse and worse considering the contrast from Saturday to Sunday. I've always been a NFL>College Football guy but this year, college is way easier to watch. You have entire drives without flags thrown, it's insane.

Yup. Ain't watching. I've switched to sec football, but I don't have a team I guess I went to mccallie so Tennessee seems like a natural choice. I need an emotional investment

Cincinnati got called for two consecutive holdings one brought back a TD bomb to AJ.

Very frustrating, they were both questionable at best.

Once fantasy football interest goes away the NFL is really fricked. The diehard fans that made this league are being chased away.

I'm pretty much done watching the NFL. Never thought I'd say that.

penalties and 22 minute reviews to determine whether a guy's knee was down or not

Well, it was the first time Bradford was touched all game so the refs had no idea what happened

Ummm there's no language saying you can't hit a QB's arm while he was throwing. It was called a blow to the head.

I like how you guys that claim this only watch one college game on Saturday then one pro game on Sunday AND THEN MAKE THE ENTIRE CLAIM FROM JUST WATCHING THESE TWO GAMES.

Learn how to legitimately back your shite up, bro.
