I just think the officiating in the NFL is horrible this year. They have caused some teams to lose games by making horrible calls. Am I the only one who feels this way?

Officiating in the NFL has taken a turn for the worse since the Philly mobster, Tagliabue took over. It hasn't gotten any better under Goodell........
I think officials should be fined when they make, game altering, bad calls......

YES they have. I'm watching the Steelers game and seeing BAD calls that have really hurt the Steelers. For example that first TD by the Cardinals. HE NEVER HAD POSSESSION, he had in in both hands just long enough to drop it, that should be incomplete pass. Then that Fumble the Steelers recovered. The guy was on top the Cardinals player when he picked up the ball and then ran it in, that was a TD. He was NEVER down by contact, which I'm guessing is what they were calling it. So if that was a TD, as it should have been, it would have been 14-7. Ben's interception into the endzone would have never happened.

Well, actually, if one team has lost, they have caused the other team to win. Guess it depends on which team you like.
Officials are human. They make mistakes. That's why there is instant replay. There are also limits to how many times the coaches can use instant replay so they don't use it every time a play runs.

i've seen worse years. i thought it really all began with the steelers/seahawks super bowl. last year was a continuation to it, thought it was pretty bad. this year, i dont think it has been too bad. i've seen a couple bad calls, but not enough to really change the outcome of the game. there was the bad call not charging tommie harris for offsides against san diego, but SD still won anyways. i havent seen too many bad calls or even questionable calls.

yes the refs are very bad this year. Just look at the bengals and ravens in week one the ravens would of won if it weren't for a refs horrible call.
