It's embarrassing, and it's even worse when they actually let them play in the playoffs, and everyone's like....wtf, where's the flags?  They condition us over an entire season to expect them, then let 'em play in the playoffs.  Seriously?  Dafuq?

Yeah, I'm tired of the refs myself.  It's not entirely their fault, it's the league forcing them to do it.  But, it's getting out of control.


What is now happening, which I thought it never would, is the flopping is now creeping it's ugly head into football(reason why I can't stand soccer). Vernon got caught when somebody flopped.  Miami v Jacksonville close to 30 flags combined plus a misplace spot to make the FG ry a 58 yarder instead of a 60 at the end of the half

25 penalties accepted in Pats (11) vs Bills (14), more were called though, some were declined.  The flopping creep has been coming for a long time.  Teams have done it against extended uses of the hurry up offenses for years now.  Though, I think lately they've also been increasing the conditioning requirements.
