Goodell announces Blandino will make final call on reviews

nygiants16 : 3/23/2017 9:53 am
You read it right the guy who parties with jerry jones and has never officiated a day in his life will have final say on all reviews..makes sense

why not do it like the NBA and have trained officials helping with making the final call
Hey, we all sit there and

In a Way This Could Be Better

At least they wouldn't be having the ref who made the initial call decide whether or not he was right in the first place. That was never a good idea. ("After further review, it looks like I got the call right again!")

This way is closer to how MLB is doing it. The ump makes the call on the field...team makes the challenge...it goes to review and (I believe) a panel of umps with access to all the games makes the final decision.
I think this will add consistancy to the calls

Probably a team of 2-3 guys looking at the plays and making a decision. I doubt it is one guy sitting in a room.

Goodell announced the NFL was taking steps to make the games go quicker, but today he says 1 man will be in charge of all reviews.

All turnovers and touchdowns are reviewed as well as challenges and there could be as many as 8 games playing at the same time. If multiple games go into reviews at once, will teams have to wait for Blandino to get to their games?

If they were using a panel of officials that would be great but they arent
Very efficient move!

Gamblers will appreciate that they only have one person to bribe, blackmail, or take on their party bus.
I can't wait for our first game against Dallas,

when Eli is penalized for roughing himself.
That's nuts  
Stan in LA : 3/23/2017 11:56 am : link
What if there are 3-4 replays at a time. Do all those games go into a holding pattern while Jerry Jones' boy males up his mind?
'makes' up his mind.

What issue is this solving?

Did the current replay system get it clearly wrong that many times?

If so, how does this fix it? Why did they get it wrong?
I have faith in the league

It is the right thing to do it like the NCAA, go to the league office for reviews. The whole process of throwing the flag, having the ref come over to the sideline to talk to the coach, then make the announcement of the challenge, and then run over to the little booth, then run back out to the field is ridiculous. And yes, there are differences in interpretation on these replay calls. The league is finally getting it right. This along with automatic review on all scoring plays and all turnovers makes the system pretty good IMO. No they shouldnt be able to review anything, penalties, etc. I dont know much about this Blandino guy, or who he's buddies with, but he is the head of the NFL officiating, and he and whoever he appoints to review these penalties, I trust to do the job quickly and as accurately as possible.

You forgot the /s.

People might think you're serious.

He's not the least qualified person I know who has an important job, but he's right up there. A worthless yes man if one there ever were. One of the great mysteries of life is how these people get so far on so little.
This doesn't make any sense  
LCtheINTMachine : 3/24/2017 1:15 pm : link
Say there are 7 games at 1 o'clock and three reviews happen at the same time. How can any one person have the final say and keep the game moving along?
