    Ghost penalties ruining the game

    I don't know about the rest of you, but these ghost penalties are killing my enjoyment of the NFL.

    Just about every huge play, game defining turnover, etc you can almost count on some sort of bullshit flag, which usually has nothing to do with the actual play itself.

    Not sure what the answer is, but this shit getting ridiculous.

    This has been the norm for a good while now.

    The NFL is a shell of it's old self.

    Only reason why it survives is because it's football and people like football.

    If you have the NFL ticket and switch back and forth watching multiple games, you see this shit frequently every week.

    it's almost as if the outcome can be decided by the refs!

    but they would never do anything unscrupulous or dimwitted, referees are perfect angels

    After play flags should be field position only. Should not impact down and distance.

    Yea, those penalties on big plays been happening for a long time, usually holding on a long run or some pass interference. They are so subjective and can be called on almost any play yet they hold their whistle until it really matters. League is purely for entertainment, they say thats whats even written on the tickets.
