YET YOU KNOW MORE THAN A EX NFL GM??

What ex-NFL GM are you referring to? You mean the guy that was a former Saints GM? Yea, I'm sure he is a beacon of rational thought in a time like this.

1. Post the transcript from the interview. I'd like to see exactly what he said, because I have a feeling you heard what you wanted to hear and are misrepresenting what he said.

2. If he actually said what you are describing, then he has no idea how officiating mechanics work. The referee isn't supposed to be watching for PI. Could he have called a conference and asked the other two officials to discuss what they saw? Sure. Could he have called a conference and thrown a flag on his own? Nope.

Look, it's clear that you are wayyyyy too emotionally invested to think about this clearly, but what some of you are suggesting is for officials to completely disregard officiating mechanics because two officials missed a call.

I said it in another thread, what yall are asking is akin to asking the first base umpire to call balls and strikes. It doesn't work that way.
