The referees in tonight's Monday Night Football game all need to be fired immediately because they are shockingly bad, and the question arises: Instead of calling important, close plays dead, why don't they let them play out and then review them?

These referees are shockingly bad tonight. Even by NFL 2024 standards.

There was the play above, which literally couldn't have taken place anywhere near this opposing judge's eyes without giving him conjunctivitis.

How on earth do you miss this? Seriously?

And it was contagious.

Reags just blogged about this specifically –

They even had the nerve to blow the whistle for “unnecessary harshness.” On an offensive lineman!

On the final play of the half, the same official (now in the position of field judge) had to step in on Rodgers' Hail Mary and overrule the other back judge's initial decision.

I mean, look at that too.

Not only am I angry at the level of incompetence these guys display every week, I'm also angry at the way they are coached by this Jabroni Dean Blandino and his buddies.

Am I crazy for wondering why they aren't told to let the games run instead of blowing the whistle quickly and blowing them to death? This way they can be verified and you can be sure that the call is correct?

Oh. Actually, wait.

I forgot…

PS: There are 2 minutes left in this game. Take a look at the penalties so far tonight

PPS – I wasn't even able to submit this to the editors for review before the Bills just got screwed on a made-up tuck rule call where the officials blatantly lied about the play being reviewed in the booth. Watch as this guy lays like a rug right in front of the crowd.

A typical example. Why govern it in such a way that it cannot be questioned instead of going the other way and allowing it? Seems intentional, no? And why the hell isn't such a bang-bang game challenging? Aren't these the types of games the Instance Replay review was invented for?

ppps – I said it once and I will say it again
