Vader Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Refs in today’s game cannot keep up physically. Reffing is perceptual. Perception, and the ability to perceive and make judgements is biologically-based, and measurable. The NFL should be made to move to a performance-based, highly competitive, measureble, trackable rules enforcement system that provides accountability to the rules and to on-field, in-real-time judgements by fallible human judgement. There needs to be systems-based checks to human error in NFL reffing. You just had an opportunity to have two all-time greats in an iconic Superbowl. And that can’t happen now because of a non-game factor — a team of refs making a bad call that directly affected the outcome of the game in a way that explicitly benefitted one team and hurt the other. This has happened before, again and again. It makes it no more acceptable that it has happened before, usually to the benefit of league villains that will remain unnamed. Have Refs measured and elected to play - to perform. Like the players. Make them hired and accountable to a third party. Refs should have some connection to the game, not former attorneys. They should be: excellent athletically: tested and measured and excellent cognitively: tested and measured there should be AI and robotics applications using sensors to trigger automatic and continuous reviews of decision making by rules-enforcement teams a Systems-Based “automatic and continuous review” philosophy should permeate the entirety of rules enforcement the regime of rules enforcement should be human-based, using humans selected by mostly by cognitive performance, and checked by AI and algorithmic technologies meant to bend error in enforcement towards fidelity The reffing has ruined the game. Everyone knows it. The NFL relies on people to forget. Don’t let them. The players, owners, cities and fans all deserve the same level of elite professionalism and performance — especially the players — that is required of them. The referring has been such a disappointment and acquired an outsized role in the game that was never intended. It needs to change. Unfortunately no one will remember this next week and Tom Brady will be awesome forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeJet Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I've actually thought for a few years now most NFL officials should actually be on the field at all anymore. They are in a room in the stadium where they cannot be influenced by coaches or crowd. Have cameras at every angle and then following the play. Still have 2 or 3 on the field to call plays dead and announce penalties etc. Everything else comes through the officials watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never again mess up the game by human factors of poor perception and phantom and non-calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bla bla bla Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 They will never take refs out of the NFL game, Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft have a stake in Draft Kings. How that is not a serious issue is beyond me especially when they are arguably the 2 most powerful people in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Along these lines why do we have chains for first downs. They should be using lasers that shoot across the field that they can measure it that way and save time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a loss more of them aren't off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think some sort technology/AI based ref system would find multiple fouls on every play thus making the product unwatchable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
