Re: Pro Football Talk said it best

Al said last night they DID review the non-PI call and determined it "didn't rise to the level" of PI.

The whiners completely mugged the WR in the end zone. MUGGED.

Don't give me any "rise to the level" bull crap. Roger didn't want it called. Full stop.

Until we get the referees under a separate umbrella from the NFL the games will be called in favor of the NFL's favorites. We need full time independent refs who have to meet requirements to ref and have year round non stop training so they know what a penalty is! It varies from one ref to the next. It needs to be consistent throughout the league.

Also, as a rugby ref we only call pertinent penalties that directly affect the play. If it's egregious we call it....if not, we give a verbal warning if possible but we don't take away a big play if it's been earned and the foul had nothing to do with the effectiveness of the play.
