1. The worst kind of problem is the one where there is no solution. I don’t know what the answer is for the NFL having atrocious refs, but it’s a major, major issue.
I don’t want to say the refs cost the Niners the game Sunday since their kicker missed a game-winning field goal on the final play, but the refs couldn’t have helped the Browns any more than they did.
For starters, this hit, which was a shoulder-to-shoulder hit, was called unnecessary roughness on third-and-10 from the Cleveland 26 with 2:45 left in the game and the 49ers up 17–16.
