Agreed, but I think those things are easier to "make objective" in the rulebook than say determining what constitutes a legal/illegal tackle, what behavior deserves a yellow card, etc.

It's hard to officiate what one person is doing, but when you bring physical contact with another person into the mix, i feel like the complexity increases exponentially .

lmao citing Dallas in comparison is a liiiitle misleading given that they are literally most penalized team in the league for defensive holding, and tied for second most in offensive holding.

The league average for defensive holding this season is 4, compared to the eagles 2. The league average for offensive holding calls is 8, compared to the eagles 4.

Baseball definitely the closest, a balk is probably the only call that can't be made objectively, but it's such a minor thing anyway.

tbf would be pretty weird if people called seahawks fans "forty whiners", wouldn't really make sense with their team name

seattle's defense deserves better from their offense, they're putting on a heck of a performance despite being on the field for this long

"the takeaway kids" damn tony don't hurt yourself coming up with that one

They do. It's just that theres a tradeoff between power and accuracy, so kicking long field goals means trying to find a balance between two really slim margins for error.

if the uprights were as wide as the field, a 63 yarder would be free

kicking is hard

If you can call it an NFL city, it's NYC.

But if we're talking skyline view from the stadium, or a view that incorporates the stadium, then it gets tougher.
