No, keep quiet and let it go. You don't have to like it but it's not illegal. During the JV game I was working tonight, the home team was leading 43-0 in the 4th quarter and was still throwing long bombs. I didn't like it but...well that's football I guess.

I've been through this situation twice last weekend. I really hate it and think is lack of sportsmanship, besides being just plain stupid to risc your players health on that kind of crap. But calling every tick tack penalties seems like a bad idea, since the coach will not stop playing for the score and it's going to lengthen the game wildly.
I've thought about suddently being blind to whatever unnecessary roughness the losing team might be using but it just didn't feel right. So I decided to keep doing my job but, inside, I'm hoping for someone important ofor the winning team to be lost for the season. And I know that's a terrible thing to wish for but I just can't help it. Remembering that I officiate adults games. No kids... |

Nothing changes: call the obvious housekeeping fouls, call the pertinent tactical fouls, and call all safety fouls. If anything, shorten the game if the league or teams permit. But do not confuse the athletes about what is and is not a foul.

I tend to think so!!
You don't do anything in this situation. Depending on the level, I'll probably let a few false starts or offsides (on the other team) go, mostly for times sake, but we always get all the felonies and damn sure all the safety calls regardless of score. |

It's not our job to control the score. It is my opinion that we should be blind to the score and officiate the game the same as we have in the beginning. Make the calls be "BIG" in the first quarter and do the same in the 4th qtr. of a blowout. I've had games where one team needed to outscore their opponents by 40+ points in order to make the playoffs due to a point score tiebreaker procedure they have. I'm not going to prevent that by trying to be nit picky on fouls.
