It’s a feature and part of game manipulation.
Absolutely. One of the few sports where any play can be naturally manipulated after the fact. It can potentially happen so often in any given game that we as fans have been conditioned to generally accept it.

100% yes. It’s the biggest problem. They’ve gotten so granular on things like “what is a catch” that it’s borderline impossible to know wtf is going on.

I sat we modify replay
Get rid of it for football plays
But have a replay of refs decisions by a panel at HQ live. If they determine ref made a major error they have replacement refs at game and sideline him. During week he takes some remedial classes to recert for games.
If they see minor misses then after 3 of those he is replaced and same thing, remedial ti recert.
This all takes place privately but once a ref is replaced its announced so everyone knows. Would do that at next game stoppage.
There are many ways they can fix the product but current way allows some manipulation so why change it. You will never hear when they catch a ref betting because it would destroy their product. They will come down with “life changes” where they can’t ref ever again.

Hell yes! I can’t stand it so I just don’t watch. Everything is a penalty!

Replay should be no slow motion and 60 seconds. Refs can zoom in and see all of the angles but it has to be in real time speed. If a decision can’t be reached in 60 seconds the play stands because the video is not clear and indisputable.

But then the broadcast companies can’t cram 15 minutes of commercials into 5 minutes of action!

Absolutely. The NFL is a stale product. It’s nothing more than something to put on in the background while you do something else. The same plays by the same coaches who got fired from somewhere else who will get fired at their new job then get a new job. It’s all just so bland and utterly boring.

If by over officiated you mean, "does the NFL leverage officials to blatantly and openly fix games in front of your face", then YES. One of the main reasons I quit watching it. It is borderline WWE at this point.

the under-thrown deep ball PI needs to be fired into the sun. so irritating.

PI has got so out of hand that after every incomplete pass, everyone, the players, the fans, the announcers, everyone, holds their breath waiting to see if the ref feels like throwing a flag.
We all have to do that because the line has blurred so much on what is/should be called.

The NFL has gotten to be like the US Government. They have made tons of rules. Almost more than anyone could keep up with. Make a bunch of rules that are clear as mud by using crafty "lawyer" language and the league can pretty much do whatever they want to. Officials can find a rule to suit a situation and use it however they want.

they tried it with pass int challenges and shelved that
it's time to do the same on some other plays

You really have to wait to see if there's a flag on the play before you emotionally react to every single big play.
And many games are decided by the Refs awarding First Downs on TD drives that were stalled, but for the Penalty that awards the First Down.
Over-officiated you say? Seems like most of the game is decided by Officiating or NOT Officiating ( See Rams @ Saints, NFCCG, 2018).
I keep RedZone on in the background. I don't sit and watch a game anymore.

And it seems more time than not the official ruling is not what you expected.
