If you fine refs for missing plays, then, I think you'll see them just call a lot more questionable close calls to cover themselves.

I get that, that's why I think they should be disciplined for bad calls either way, missed calls or phantom calls.

Fine them, sit them or demote them, I don't care how, but there needs to be a lot more accountability in the officiating.

Man, I'd heard the rumors about this guy being a dirty player, but after Sunday...there is no doubt in my mind he is a dirty, cheap player. Every time I saw him hit/or attempt to hit someone he absolutely led with his head.

I don't understand how Goodell wants to enforce/create strict rules to protect players but doesn't fine the sh1t out of a repeat offender like this.

Weight it by yardage. 75+ yards worth of bad calls, you sit the next game.

I think that is a great idea, but for players. If you accrue 75 yards off penalties that are in the game to protect the players(helmet to helmet on receiver, low on QB, chop block, etc) then you should miss a game. It has worked well in soccer to deter players from just committing one "bad" foul per game that could potentially injure a player. Now if you get 5 yellow's in league play, you are suspended for the next game. I think something like this could actually work in the nfl.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
