Quote:The speed of the game has absolutely effected officiating. Yes I understand the referees/field judges are to monitor their sections of the plays, but asking refreees have to throw a flag on a play that has a 50/50 discretion in 1/10 a second is difficult.

These kind of arguments exists because of the tv audience having benefits to multiple replays in between plays, commercial breaks, etc. While viewing the game at the stadium in live action, the speed is dramatically different.

Having an onsite review booth team will help take the pressure off the officials, but the game will turn into a 5 hour event which I dont know if the NFL wants that.

Yep, and I read an article on SI that followed a crew for one week. They are looked at so closely on calls and can get dinged easily.

These guys watch film, listen on conference calls, and talk to each other on a weekly basis. If they cant get it right to your liking, nobody will.
