why is hte nfl allowing the bad calls and with all the video at their disposal. If the NFL was so concerned they would start bringing these refs in, sit them down and get to the root of these problems and either get rid of some bad ones, or change up the calling. If th ebooth has to get more involved so be it. It was a horrible call, the coaches are telling these refs how to do their jobs and its getting the NFL and the coaches no where.
I don't think the NFL "allows" bad calls. I don't think refs go out there with the intent to make a bad call. But they're human, too. And stuff happens so fast that you will miss seeing something. I'm alot more accepting of a ref missing something, because you never know what officials are looking at any given moment. On the flip side, I'm not accepting of the misapplication of rules. At that level, NFL refs should know their rule book backwards and forwards.
And from every article I've read on it. Refs review game film after every game, and some are punished, demoted, or whatever. But it's just not publicized. And again, I understand why, too. You don't want open season on an official whose been sanctioned.
That said, some officials can just have a bad day. It doesn't make it right or acceptable, but officials know when they've stunk up the joint. Too lax in the first half and so they have to tighten it up in the 2nd half. Threw a flag and had to pick it up, because they thought they saw something that didn't happen.
