How can the ref's call that a fumble (Texans vs Broncos MNG). The arm went forward as did the ball which even spiralled... I have never seen a fumble that spiralled. Bad call. Incomplete pass in my books
Blandino is nothing but a huge fraud. The guy knows nothing about officiating and is simply following the lead of Goodell. No head of officiating should be so close to one particular owner and flaunt it (his relationship with JJones). His "explanations" are extremely inconsistent. He comes across as simply someone to make an excuse when the part-time officials make yet another mistake. The NFL almost seems like the WWE sometimes with the way the officials are controlling the outcome of games.And Dean Blandino - a man who has never officiated an NFL game on the field in real time - the head of NFL officiating said there "wasn't enough [evidence]" to overturn the call that shouldn't have been called in the first place.
NFL stupidity is ruining the game.

you would think with all the money the nfl brings in they could hire full time refs

They tried during their last contract negotiation with the refs. It was the refs that didn't want to be full time. Most of them have jobs outside of the NFL and didn't want to give those up.

Than find some new refs that will? How hard is that? I am sure if the pay is good they would have a line of people willing to do it. Not really that hard to figure out.
That's not how unions work.
Also, they tried to go a season without the current refs. While hilarious, it forced the NFL to cave to the ref's demands.
I'm not saying the NFL couldn't have upped their offer to make it happen, but from the articles written at the time the refs made it sound like the full-time requirement was a non starter without an excessive pay raise.
