NFL To Have A Conference Call With Officials On Friday

Discussion in 'NFL General Discussion' started by BigBlueBruiser, Oct 28, 2010.

  1. It appears that the NFL has had enough with a strain of controversial on-field officiating calls. FOXSports.com has learned that the league is having a conference call Friday for every member of every officiating team. The purpose of the call is twofold, according to one officiating source - to serve as pep talk, but also to clean up mistakes by the officials. Sources say a conference call of this nature is rare - if not unprecedented - to have all of the officials involved. Two high-profile Week 7 rulings may have initiated the conference call.

    There's a few bad calls every week. There's something like 1800 plays a week and 3-4 are bad, bad calls. That's 0.002% for argument sake...yet the media blows them out of proportion to make it seem like it's 85%. It's going to happen every week...everyone's going to be affected at some point or another both positively and negatively...

    Said like a true SteAler fan. That didn't come off sounding rehearsed in any way.

    Exactly. Reviews are to correct heck ups, not to enable officials to heckup the same play twice.:icon_rolleyes:

    The Chiefs have been screwed on multiple PI penalties this year that should have probably gone the other way. About time something is done.
