Playoff officiating procedure changes

[marko358]

Adjustment To Officiating Procedures For Playoffs:

For the 2015 Postseason, consultation may occur between the Referee and the VP of Officiating or his designee located in the league’s officiating headquarters in New York regarding the correct application of playing rules. In addition to the VP of Officiating’s current role in Instant Replay, this consultation will only include the appropriate assessment of penalty yardage, the proper administration of the game clock, the correct down, or any other administrative matter not currently reviewable.
This will not include the ability to call or change a foul, or otherwise become involved in on-field judgment calls that are not subject to the current Instant Replay system.

Because the officiating and review process was *so* good, that they are going to muck with it further.

This will end well.....

I'm glad they are trying to fix an officiating issue, now I wish they'd wait until the offseason to change things, and with the bafoons that are running the league and in charge of the officiating I can see it turning into a dumpster fire.

Replay - Stay tuned for previews of the continuation of this weeks game tomorrow, they are going to take the initial three minutes that now goes to ten minutes and make it a 30 minute fiasco.

Blandino doesn't think there's anything wrong with the officiating, so this isn't really doing anything...

What they really want is more commercial revenue :evil:
