NFL Officials Responsibilities
Posted by LSUFanHouston on 1/22/19 at 12:12 pm036
Since some of you seem to have a lot of difficulty understanding what each official's responsibility is - and what it is not - maybe this website will help.

Makes it more clear that Vinovich could have had some say so in the ruling, IMO.

quote:
The referee (R) is responsible for the general supervision of the game and has the final authority on all rulings. In the NFL, he also has final authority on the score and the down number in case of any disagreement.[8] Although all officials on the crew may be responsible for any decision involving the application or interpretation of the rules, the referee has the final decision.[9] Thus, this position is sometimes referred to as head referee and is considered to be the crew chief. He can be identified by his white cap, while the other officials wear black caps (the hat color scheme was reversed in the NFL from 1979-87).
During each play from scrimmage, the referee positions himself behind the offensive team, favoring the right side (if the quarterback is a right-handed passer). He also counts offensive players.
On passing plays, he primarily focuses on the quarterback and defenders approaching him. The referee determines any fouls for roughing the passer and, if the quarterback loses the ball, determines whether the ball was fumbled or if an incomplete pass had been thrown.
On running plays, the referee observes the quarterback during and after the time he hands off the ball to a running back, holding his attention on him until the action has cleared in case the play becomes a play action pass or some other trick passing play. After it has been established that the running back will keep the ball, the referee then checks the running back and the contact behind him.
During punts and field goals, the referee observes the kicker (and holder) and any contact made by defenders approaching them. On a punt out of bounds, he uses his vantage point behind the punter to direct the nearest sideline official to the spot where the ball went out of bounds.
In college football, the NFL and other professional leagues, and in some high school games, the referee announces penalties and the numbers of the players committing them (college and professional), and clarifies complex and/or unusual rulings over a wireless microphone to both fans and the media.
During instant replay reviews in the NFL, the referee confers with the NFL's replay center in New York, which makes the final ruling. In college football, the referee confers with a replay official, who is stationed in the press box above the field, on the play and then announces the final result over the wireless microphone.
In addition to the general equipment listed above, the referee also carries a coin to conduct the pregame (and if necessary, overtime) coin toss.

The head referee resolves disagreements.
Where was there a disagreement on this play?
If the side judge threw the flag and the down judge said there was no infraction, then the referee makes the decision.

Are you honestly going to continue to believe that the head referee didn't have the authority to throw a flag on a helmet to helmet play? Forget the PI....if he sees a helmet to helmet or targeting anywhere on the field he should have the authority to throw the flag

I posted the other day that it seems every LSU fan from Houston is an ignorant assclown. Looks like I'm spot on

should
I agree, he should.
He does not.
He cannot call a penalty on an area of the field where he has responsibility, over the objections of the officials on the field that have that responsibility.
PI, helmet to helmet, unsportsmanlike, whatever.
The fact that you, and I, disagree with the current procedures, does not mean I am wrong in respect to what the current procedures are.
What he had the absolute right to do, and should have done, is get the officials together and make damn sure that they officials on the spot are sure of their call. Then if one of officials change their mind, a flag could have been thrown.
Or, if the play WAS reviewable, then the referee could look at the screen, determine a penalty has occurred, and then drop a flag.
The problem is, what you and other want is justified, but it is simply not in the procedures for NFL officials, or for any other level.

I think you misspelled "accurate gentleman"

So it was his responsibility to call HANDS TO THE FACE in overtime on the play where Brees was intercepted?

like an EX NFL GM said he shoulda rounded them up and then made a flag be dropped by somebody. it could have been done,
shite flags are thrown all the time from across fields. like all this BS about certain areas is followed the ref was in charge and could have fixed this. i think an ex NFL GM knows more than the OP

And he CAN throw a flag on ANY infraction if he sees it. Any official can even if it is outside their assigned responsibility. They have this ability because lines of sight can be blocked for other officials. I have seen plays this season where 4 flags were thrown on a single infraction because those officials were doing their job.

he could have fixed this. jim miller stated as much and i think knows a tad more about actual football than the OP. there is a reason we see flags thrown all at once in games. he could have rounded them up and got this right. shite he should have thrown a flag. they do it all the time. see posts above

Not only did I play through HS, I've officiated as well.
What's your credibility?

See the other thing is and people have bitched about it for years is that these postseason “all-star” crew of officials are a poor idea. These guys are thrown together and haven’t worked seasons together like the regular season assignments.
