Mike Pereira: Pass interference rule was a bad rule that was destined to fail

Did the expansion of replay to include pass interference work? It depends on your definition of “work.”
quote:
Of the 101 interference-related replay reviews during the regular season, only 24 resulted in the on-field call being reversed, according to Mark Maske of The Washington Post.
quote:
Former NFL head of officiating Mike Pereira calls the rule a colossal failure.
quote:
“Well, my opinion is it was a bad rule,” Pereira said Tuesday in a Fox Sports media session.
“I anticipated that there was going to be very few reversals, and to me, you just cannot put in a rule and use replay for a rule and say, ‘OK, we want to call it one way on the field and then another way in replay.’
It makes no sense to anybody. To say it was just a catch-all for what happened in New Orleans a year ago with the Rams, that’s fine, but it doesn’t work.”
quote:
The decision to use replay for pass interference was a knee-jerk reaction to Nickell Robey-Coleman mugging Tommylee Lewis before the ball arrived late in the NFC Championship Game in the 2018 season.
It appears, however, that the rule, which was voted in for a one-year trial run, didn’t solve anything.
quote:
Pereira pointed to two significant pass interference penalties that weren’t called and weren’t reversed by the current head of officiating Al Riveron.
quote:
“Fred Warner and the pass interference in Seattle [in Week 17], if called, I do believe the Beast [Marshawn Lynch] would have got that ball in from the 1-yard line,” Pereira said.
“Seattle would have been a three seed; San Francisco would have been a five; New Orleans would have had the bye.
Then, you do to the New Orleans-Minnesota [playoff] game, the Kyle Rudolph push off on the touchdown [in overtime]. Both of those are interference.
I mean, you want both of those called on the field, but they weren’t.
And then replay looked at it and said, ‘Well, it’s not enough for replay to get involved.’
It doesn’t make sense. That’s why the rule was destined to fail, and I know they’re kind of sitting back right now hoping — HOPING — that nothing like that presents itself on Sunday where they have to answer questions at the end why didn’t you stop it?
Or why didn’t you reverse it? When the world knows it was actually interference.”
quote:
Of the 74 reviews of plays on which interference was not called on the field during the regular season, Riveron reversed 21, per Maske.
Riveron dropped only three flags for interference among the 27 reviews on plays on which interference was called on the field.
quote:
No coach won a challenge all season on 13 tries of a play on which defensive pass interference was called by the on-field officials.

So it’s a bad rule because the officials refuse to enforce it?
Posted on 1/28/20 at 9:57 pm to Mrwhodat
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever read and spoken like a former official.
The RULE isn’t the fricking problem.
Hubris is. Al Riveron is.

Not sure how thIs ends differently when the have the insane running the insane asylum

49ers ran the ball 45+ times against GB, and over half those carries were outside the tackle box. Yet the 49ers weren’t called for holding once that game. My point is the officials go into each game with an agenda and replay is a way to call them out and they resent it.

It’s dumbfounding the narrative they’ve set that the rule is the issue. It’s only reinforced the problem that the referees are completely incapable of criticism and self inflection. Instead of seeing the rule as an opportunity to get things right and smooth their pressure, they decided to go into the season butt hurt and stubborn.

Rich McKay, the chairman of the Competition Committee and President and CEO of the Falcons is the person responsible for the allstar playoff officiating crews.
The chairman and his assigns set NFL assignments and "points of emphasis" for the NFL games and playoff games.
The current head of officiating Al Riveron makes the calls or non calls impacting this rule.
Riveron receives "points of emphasis" to not enforce the rule from Rich McKay and the Competition Committee.
CSP as a member of the Competition Committee has no in season authority, voting power, or responsibility to this committee.
CSP can only suggest rule changes in the offseason.

The fact that a guy who works for a specific team gets to make these decisions in this high profile of a league is a joke. Seriously? The CEO of the atlanta falcons gets to set points of emphasis for officials calls? How does that make sense?

So basically, a no call was made to frick over the Saints in a playoff game to get them to the Super Bowl in order to put the new market LA Rams in to generate fan support for a market that the NFL has been trying to succeed in for decades, so Sean Payton, as the head coach of the Saints and a member of the competition committee, makes a suggestion for new rule to replay no calls on pass interference. It's adopted and the officials basically say, "frick it we are not enforcing it". Former official Mike Pereira points to two instances in which the no call pass interference should have been overturned and called pass interference. One instance was ome in which the Saints would have gotten a much higher seed in the playoffs, the Seattle 49ers game, and the other was one that knocked the Saints directly out of the playoffs, Vikings offensive push off that gave them the touchdown to win the game in overtime. And Rich McKay, president and CEO of the Saints biggest historic rival, is head of the competition committee and responsible for officiating in the playoffs.
This is your NFL, folks.

Yeah it's going to always be a failure if dipshit alberto riveron is making the final call

the NFL stopped being about football a long time ago. It’s purely for entertainment and money purposes now.
Posted on 1/29/20 at 8:47 am to Mrwhodat
The only and best solution to all of this shite is an eye in the sky ref. It’s the most logical thing. Hopefully with the XFL using it, the NFL will see the err of their ways.

its like the assholes don't even have intentions of making correct calls out there.

Ok, know what would be a good rule? Holding refs accountable for shitty officiating.
Posted on 1/29/20 at 9:10 am to Mrwhodat
Maybe we should beat up the officials like they do in soccer.
Posted on 1/29/20 at 1:27 pm to Mrwhodat
the refusal to use it was just Riveron and co.'s middle finger to a rule change they didn't like. Intentionally trying to skew the numbers to show it was a pointless change.
isn't that the point of replay in general? To correct on field errors.

Forget challenges
They need to utilize replay for any scenario, including penalties, especially in the last 2 minutes in order to get the obvious calls correct.
That's how you fix it
Take away the challenge part of it

I think he’s saying that the standard of the call is different not that you are changing the call.
In replay you should call it the same as on the field and not some super egregious variation being required

Or remove challenges completely and reduce the number of camera angles so we don’t have 42 hi def slo mo angles to second guess refs with.
Don’t get me wrong, it’d be hard to put the toothpaste back in on having multiple goal line cams etc.. but I think I’d enjoy it better than the constant stoppages.
