The more challenges coaches win the worse the refs look

15 hour long games?
Insert a clause in union contract:
X number infractions in a game or season may result in disciplinary action, up to and including immediate suspension or termination.
Haul an extra ref to games in case you need to fire one in the 3rd quarter. The guy who watches the balls could fill in.
You fire a couple of "Striped Shirts" mid game and let them find their way home and BS calls will improve. When he has to explain to his SO that he may have made his last call and that they may have to sell the house unless he can find another high paying part time gig.
I deal with 99% accuracy of corporate assets to be considered "effective" at my job, anything less than that and that portion (20%) of my bonus is eliminated making the remainder ever harder to reach. (98.9% is unacceptable) That is one of 5 matrix's I must succeed at to make the big bucks come bonus time.
There must be some system put in place that penalizes a ref who makes a "Roughing the passer" call due to a face mask infarction that he never saw happen.
Did he just assume it happened or did he want it to be true in his head?
One way or another, That ref needs a high level coaching (up to and including termination) and his game wages donated to charity of affected team
The refs for the Saint's game and the one mentioned above need to be demoted to some position where their actions cannot affect games. If not outright fired, slapped in the wallet, (fined and salary modification) put on the worst assignments next season or until they can prove they can do their job.
I always thought that there are 2 Striped Shirts on a play, that they would get it right... I have been corrected...
As much as I dislike the Saint's coach Payton he is owed a Super Bowl by a ref who was a receiver (4 years) with 10 receptions and 122 yds in his NFL career. He refs for a real job making only rookie minimum in the NFL ($310,000 (2009), $395,000 (2010), $480,000 (2011) and $565,000 (2012))
If I was a Saints fan, I don't think either Turner nor Gary Cavaletto would have made it to the airplane without a tour of St Bernard's ER
