Baseball had something similar in the World Series
It was an obvious wrong call, that cost the Cardinals game 6, which would have given them the WS. Instead the Royals came back won game 6 (by the guy that Denkinger called safe scoring the tying run) and then game 7. Now baseball get these calls right. Of course baseball calls are much more black and white than football calls.
You can't legislate judgment calls, but I think the CFL has a decent rule that you can challenge a PI call, and if it is obvious, they call PI (or overturn the PI call). Any rule change would have to be for PI and PI only, as there is holding on every play. Same amount of challenges, just allow for PI to be challenged.
But Watson is right, that rat bastard Goodell needs to speak about this, even if he came out and said, refs are imperfect and they missed the call, we will try and do better and maybe sugguest that the competition committee look into a way to address egregious errors such as this one. But his silence basically fuels the conspiracy theories.

We’ve all known for over a decade that if there’s a wrong way to handle a given situation that’s what Roger will do. He’s a perfect example of it being more important to be born wealthy and lucky than anything else in life.
