I think the officials should be required to hold a press conference after every game, and that their names should be printed and shared in every article that discusses the blown calls.
When the officials go from being anonymous to being publicly identified as the person who changed the outcome of a game with a bad call, they can actually be held accountable for their actions.
When their name is in an article about that roughing the passer penalty that Brady got but Mahomes didn't, or the DPI/Helmet to Helmet hit from the Saints game, and their name is mentioned on every single sports talk radio station and sports related television program, it will not be so easy for them to control the spread or the winner.
Because, if that officials name gets mentioned more than a few times, the NFL may be forced to do something about it, like hire full time officials and implement an internal review system so the office in New York can alter or wave off calls.
Now, since no penalty was called in the Saints game, it wouldn't be eligible for review, but maybe the rules committee can create a separate challenge flag for that situation. Say, you can challenge two plays per game due to a penalty, but if the first review is denied, you lose the second penalty review, that way coaches will be very selective when throwing a penalty challenge.
