NFL is about to become the lower level to College Football - Roughing Calls are Out of Control

The NFL has gotten totally ridiculous with their roughing calls.  Every game I have watched I am just in disbelief at what they do call and what they do not call. 

This is roughing?


The QB has the ball and there is no helmet to helmet, no picking him up and driving him into the ground.  This is a text book tackle. 

Apparently this is roughing the passer also.


Two calls that the NFL has come out and said were correctly called by the officials.

This apparently is not roughing.


Well except for the part where he picks him up and drives him to the ground.  But it wasn't called. 

You know you have a problem when the Officials are deciding games.  It isn't just these calls.  I can tell you that almost every game I watch I am seeing these kinds of ridiculous calls.  Not just on the QB either.  I saw a receiver catch a pass and get tackled and it was roughing.  Yes there was helmet to helmet contact.  Because the receiver lowered his head and hit the defender.  But nope, it was on the defense. 

I pretty much have had enough of watching the NFL.  I can't stand the politics that have taken over and now it isn't even football.  I can't stand watching teams play and have officials deciding games.  Then the NFL makes it worse by agreeing with these calls when even your youth players know that it is a bad call. 

College Football does a 100% better job of officiating and running the game.  They have made it safer and done it in a way that keeps the game true.  The NFL has lost its way and better move quickly or they will continue to see their fan base shrink. 

Saturday's is all about real football, Sunday's is not.

It wouldn't surprise me to see someone come in and capitalize on all of this with a competing league.  The NFL is showing cracks in it's armor for a USFL comeback.
