I want to know how the officials could be so incompetent.
You have two guys who are known to hate each other. They tried to injure/kick each other last year and you missed all of it live. The league had to clean up with fines. You would figure this is the kind of thing that an official's preparation should prepare them for going into the game.
Then instead of keeping an eye on these two, they totally miss one guy hanging on the other guy's facemask, and the 2nd guy retaliating by ripping his helmet off and hitting him with it. And the officials don't see any of this?
Fine/suspend the stupid players involved if you think they deserve it, but if player safety matters than you should be fining/suspending the officials who missed it all and caused it to escalate through their incompetence.
