This preseason has been seemingly reffed by replacement officials. There have been far more penalties called than normal and referees don’t seem to really know what is going on.
Stop touching receivers at all! http://t.co/g5buLYqfLK

This has been called on multiple occasions this preseason and let me state for the record that this isn’t pass interference. They have gone too far trying to emphasize illegal contact and people aren’t happy about it either.
If the NFL and Refs throw this many flags in the regular season they will allienate a lot of boderline fans.

The refs are throwing those flags a lot. There is going to be a number of games that will be lost and won because of that yellow fabric #NFL

You can call holding on every play…and if this continues the NFL refs just might.

The NFL doesn’t have much time before the regular season to fix this, but they need to get their house in order.
