Chiefs Should the NFL fine the Refs for blown calls?

Or are they going to make them re-viewable?

I like hitting the refs in the wallet but reviewing is most likely the way it will happen. Both would be better than the BS circumstances that a review would be allowed.

Yeah. That was pass interference. pic.twitter.com/niV9z2rnJi

To make things worse, the NFL's vice president of officiating, Al Riveron, actually admitted to Payton that there were a total of two missed penalties on the play.

"[The league] said not only was it interference, but it was helmet-to-helmet," Payton said. "There were two calls [the refs missed], they couldn't believe it. We spoke initially, then I called to follow up and the first thing Al said when I got on the phone, 'We messed it up.'"

Cook's facemask...

Before the 2 minute warning: We used an illegal pic and should have been flagged for OPI, which was uncalled, to get back the lead with a 38-yard pass to Watkins, Did the non-call that Belichick went crazy over (tossing his computer) have anything to do with the "Roughing" call that never happened? Was Ford penalized (late) for offsides payback for a non called penalty?

Remember, If Belichick got a review of the pass to Watkins, the ball would have been brought back plus 15 yards or 2nd+25 in Pat's territory) IMHO the game may have been over, right there

Should that Line Judge, in Saints game, have a nice $5K or $10K missing from this check for the game? Should they fire him? Or should all calls in a playoff game be reviewed by New York?

Wait it's more complicated than that....
Should all plays inside 2 minutes be reviewed or should coaches be able to challenge anything at anytime?

IMHO: Reviews of non calls will never happen anytime soon. The NFL will never levy a penalty against a referee for a non-call. I doubt they would even acknowledge a call like Chris Ford's "Roughing" as a bad call. With enough pressure there may be penalty reviews but reversing non-calls isn't going to happen without "Watson" being listed as a Striped Shirt"
