2008 NFL Season: The Year of the Ref

Is it me or are the refs REALLY off this season? We all know the blown calls that happened so far and now we see the refs blow a WAY premature whistle in the Cowboys v Cardinals game costing the Cardinals almost a sure 3 points if not a shot at a TD to go up 14-0 on the Cowboys. WTF is going on? We know they blow calls but it just seems even more heinous this year.

It's happening so much, it's bound to, and should be, addressed in the off season.

Well.. I remember hearing somewhere that the amount of holding calls this year are on pace to be the lowest in 20+ years or so. Whether they aren't calling away from the ball holding or just letting them play.. I don't know.

The refs are just tainting the game in my opinion. You can even feel the game is a little different this year. And I don't like it.

I don't think it feels any different. Then again, this is coming from a big hockey fan. The NHL officials are absolutely terrible. I think the NFL officials are the best of the major pro sports.

Doesn't "feel" any different to me.

Great call on the Romo fumble in the boys game today.
