PFT Smith: Wade Phillips upset with officials' mistakes

[Quarterback Coach]

Okay, so the officials called a lousy game. What's the league going to do? Call this weekend's game in Dallas' favor?

Oh...but the game garrett called was perfect...now i understand why we lost.

How many players have outside jobs? They only play on weekends?

They need to hire these guys full time. Have them in meetings through out the week reviewing their games and others. In the off season, have them in TC helping teams to understand the nuances of the rules. (Maybe McNabb would have known what the OT rules were then).

Honestly, if they are paid correctly, they would have about three months off a year. Kinda like school teachers. They seem to make it work with less pay.

Why do baseball and basketball officials make mistakes? They are full timers, and they actually see live action 3-4 times a week. A NFL official sitting in meetings all week isn't going to make a bit of difference when it comes to making judgment calls on the field with 300 pound guys flying around. They should take all the refs off the field and just review every damn play on TV so they can be as good a ref as all of us watching on TV.
