"Blaming referees is loser talk" was one of the most important lessons my dad and my coaches taught me, and it's one I've taught my sons, and it's something that I fully and completely believe. I find the HUGE surge in recent years of blaming everything on referees when a favourite team loses by every fanbase of every sport ridiculous and almost certainly a byproduct of a couple generations in a row now of kids being raised with zero accountability for their own actions and their own performances.
THAT being said, last night's pathetic display of "officiating" was nothing short of an embarrassment. It reeked of at the very best the near complete incompetence most NFL referees have, and at worst as retribution for Nacua correctly pointing out NFL refs are garbage.
The league will be doing itself zero favours if it doesn't address not only last night's ridiculous display from the zebras but the overall piss poor officiating the league has AND its nearly unenforceable ruleset.
