Official blog part 2

I am back with a 2nd blog about the officiating in two more sports: the NFL and College Football, which set an eample for all other sports to follow by suspending an officiating crew in the SEC, other then that their are no major issues. The only minor issue is officials from a conference represented by a team in a non-conference game should not ref those games.
The NFL: The NFL has 3 major issues: overprotection of QBs, rules geared too much towards offense, and the lack of full time officials. Lets start with the overprotection of QBs, mainly Tom Brady and other superstar QBs, this has got to stop because it is ruining the game quarterbacks now can't be touched or its a 15 yard penalty. This is a contradiction because Defensive Linemen get their knees taken out on almost every play. In order to fix this issue the NFL needs to get rid of the Tom Brady rule that bans hits to legs and at least be consistent in calling roughing the passer for all QBs not just superstars. Brady gets touched=penalty David Garard gets piledriven to the ground: no flag. This leads me to my next point the bias toward offense, I know this makes the NFL money, but defenders can't touch a Wide reciever past 5 yards while Offensive players can push off as much as they want with no call. These two rules have made it so we will never see a steel curtain or 2000 Ravens again.
Another issue for the NFL is the lack of full time officials which prevents referees from perfecting their craft and being consistent in their calls so we get games like the 2 ravens and bengals games this year. In the first game Jonathan Joseph launches himself at Todd Heap, who did not have possession of the ball, and makes helment to helmet contact and yet there is no call. On the other hand Ray Lewis lands a similar hit on Chad Ocho Cinco, who had no issue with the hit, and it is a game changing 15 yard penalty. Then last week Chad Ocho Cinco runs into Dawan Landry, catches the pass and fumbles but because he ran into Landry it is a pass interference call negating the fumble but in the 4th quarter in the drive that ended in the missed kick Joseph attempts to pull Derrick Mason's arm off preventing him from catching a TD, no call was made.
These refs need to be made full time so we can get better games and a better sport.
