The flow of the games across the league is being completely screwed up. Phantom holding calls and penalties in the ”grey area” are rampant. Additionally, challenges outside of the 2 minute mandatory review from the booth are causing teams to lose momentum unnecessarily. Can we please go back to 1990s football? This is becoming absurd

I brace myself on every 3rd down of every game I watch now, because it seems like the refs. feel impelled to toss a flag if the offense doesn’t convert. It’s as though they’re trained to think that there must have been a penalty if the offense didn’t gain a first down.
