The NFL refs have no clue what PI is: they call it differently from game to game, quarter to quarter. That PI non-call in the Boys-Carolina game had WAY more more contact than many we've seen called throughout the year: the receiver was mugged, fer chrissakes. It's a ******* joke, it really is. The refs have NO idea what they are doing out there. It's just disgusting.

Review would be horrible---ticky-tack this, ticky-tack that. They should just LEARN THE DAMN RULE and enforce it properly FFS.

C'mon guys ... the fix is in !!! The cowboys have gotten several non-calls like that blatant PI call over the last few games. Who are we kidding. The refs screwed the Pats last year in the AFC champ game ALLOWING the colts to get to the SB. They tried to screw them again this season playinig the colts. Jones is a very powerefull guy in the NFL.

The fix is in and it's disgusting to watch this sport sometimes because of it.

Yup ... it is what it is. So you make enough good plays to negate the B.S.

True dat, but it would be great to see professional refs earning their $$ out there. IIRC, NFL refs are not full-time--the only ones in pro sports who hold fulltime jobs on the side (I think this is still the case).

The games would just get longer with every pass play being reviewed

EVERY pass play? Nobody said anything about every pass play being reviewed. PI should be the only reviewable penalty as it is the only one (right?) that is enforced at the spot of the foul.

The should make it reviewable or make it a 15 yarder.
