There's far too much technology available to have bad calls, missed calls, and to be measuring first downs with literal sticks and chains. All major American sports need accountability in officiating, and all should be investing in the tech to ensure correct calls if they care about the integrity of the game (they mostly don't, and exhibit A is the warm embrace the NFL is giving the gambling industry).

I'd have to think hard about the last time I felt a game was decided by the refs in a Patriots game, that's all I'm saying, disagreeing that it's THE narrative after every game but it could obviously be improved
