The review will show that everything is fine. Move along.

In fact, said Goodell, it's the fans who are wrong!

They better bring an excavator and a few dozen shovels because the “top” is already below our feet.

We keep thinking, “no other way but up from here” and the officiating continues to dig that hole deeper.

 

[LoE]

Funny how that works.

"There is the human element with possible error involved in every play"=NFL=CYA

If it doesn't involve full-time officials, I don't care.

I honestly think the only thing full time refs will accomplish will be higher pay for the same incompetence.

 

[Infoman]

Without full-time Officials and some type of punitive system of real accountability for ridiculousness... nothing will change.

Officials need to get raises. Put their pay at 10K per game then +2,500 for every round higher in the playoffs. Superbowl pay would be 20K. Then have a group made up of reps from the NFL, NFLPA and the officials review each officials performance per game and be able to fine each official up to an entire game check.
And example would be a base pay of 160K
But 3 games were bad officiating so they would only make 130K that season.

Head officials already make $12K+. The lowest paid official gets like $2500 per game.

And he stopped the Miami/Jets game from above, to communicate that a pass interference took place and that the Jets should be given a first down, after an incomplete pass on 3rd down by the Jets. The Jets went on to kick the game winning field goal!

I have YET to know of, or have herd of a call being made from above, to stop a game and have a flag thrown. I thought the only way a review and subsequent call, or reversal of a call could be made, was if a head coach made the request. This is something totally new to me. I had no idea as part of the rule changes, that a stoppage of play from the booth could be made to change, or to make a penalty call. And of course, who is involved? Riveron! What a douche bag.

Al Riveron says it's "clear and obvious" Nik Needham interfered

Whatever Brian Flores thought about expanded replay for pass interference before Sunday, it's probably a safe bet he's ready for it to go away after Sunday.

Its within the last 2 minutes of either half. All reviews are initiated from upstairs. I've not seen the play in question, but if replay officials saw an egregious on-call, much like the one in the NFCCG, then they can buzz down for official review. It's no different than any other review situation within the last 2 minutes of a half.

As far as reviewing plays I looks the way college does it. If there is a blatant miss on a play they stop and look at it. The Patriots did get hosed twice. And we have too plenty.

I expect higher ticket prices once this investigation has been thoroughly exhausted.
