1. NFL officials have faced intense scrutiny this year for missed calls, blown calls and overall ineptness. One aspect that doesn’t get talked about enough is that they also take forever to make their calls during replay. ESPN’s Troy Aikman had enough of all of it during Monday’s Packers-Giants game.
He had enough.
NFL analysts across the sport have to be very careful when criticizing officials because they know the league will call their bosses in a heartbeat. None of them really go after the officials in a real way and on the rare occasion someone calls out an official, they always preface it with some nonsense about, “Officials have a hard job and they get most calls right blah, blah, blah.”
