I'm not trying to defend bad calls made by officials...
but I think officiating is one of the hardest things to do in sports. you are wrong 50% of the time, no matter what, and when you make the right call it usually goes unnoticed. I think that being able to review officials calls by replay is a bad idea. players, coaches make mistakes. its part of the game. officials make mistakes too. take the duke bball game the other night, everyone is talking about the travisty of the clock being run incorrectly...what about the fact that clemson let duke take the ball the full length of the court and make a lay-up in 4.4 seconds?
bad/questionable calls are part of the game.
every league does what it can to obtain the best officials available. they are the best of the best at the proffesional level especialyl with the magnitude of the pats game.
The fact that these guys can officiate an entire game and make 1 bad /questionable call i think is pretty impressive.
when was the last time you performed perfectly?
