NFL Refs Are Getting Worse By The Day. Latest Failure? The Coin Flip
Forget Things Like Field Goals And Fumbles... The Refs Can't Even Do Coin Flips Right

Referees are
having a rough year in the NFL. Before overtime in the Steelers-Ravens Monday Night Football game, the referee in charge of the coin toss did just that. He tossed the coin. There was no flip, no rotation, the coin just went up in the air, and landed. The Steelers captains mentioned it, and if you listen closely, you can hear them talking about it.

I'm not sure what it is this year that has refs making so many obvious mistakes, but they are lucky that this joke of a coin toss didn't result in a Baltimore win. It would have been one more game decided by referees, which would make 3.

The NFL needs to do something, and fast.

I am still going to go with the Thanksgiving Day Disaster in 1998 where the Steelers got the shaft on the coin toss, as worst coin toss EVVVVAR!
