re: Why don't the NFL refs call everything touchdowns (or turnovers)?

You know that little "call on the field stands" thing? It's not always conclusive and you can blow a call by calling it wrong on the field on purpose.

I'm not saying deliberately call it wrong. But if it's even close or questionable, err on the side of not taking away timeouts in a close game.

Or, like I said, just don't charge a timeout or make them lose a challenge if there's no proof either way.

It worked the right way in the Jags/Jets game. They didn't blow the whistle or instinctively call it an incompletion. If they called it an incompletion just because, Myles Jack doesn't have a possible game-changing TD.
