Hope we get better refereeing than last week. Someone please tell the refs (and the announcers and coaches too) the when the ball breaks the plane of the yard to gain for a first down, the play is not over. And if the person holding the ball pulls it back, or retreats, without being touched by an opposition player, he doesn't get the greatest ever forward progress of the ball.

And they need to stop blowing the whistle too early.

Yeah refs have become a bit too quick on the draw with their whistles.
