In light of the Cam Newton recent controversy, Dean Blandino made it clear officials that miss calls will be penalized.

Meanwhile, Blandino said that officials who miss calls will be downgraded, and could possibly miss postseason assignments -- or worse.

"They are held accountable for the mistakes they make," he said. "We have a rigid evaluation system that includes looking at every play of every game, and they get a game report and they get graded like players do. We look at that at the end of the season when we assign the postseason, and then for retention purposes. If an official isn't grading out over the course of a season or several seasons we have to look at making a move. So they are held accountable and we have had turnover in recent seasons."

From the way he worded it, it sounds like this may have been a system already in place, and not anything new. He most likely brought this up to assure the public they have a system for referees who underperform.

Do you believe that the referees will now be held more accountable for their actions, and provide much better calls? Or do you think this is just a mere gesture to pacify the public and Cam Newton for the short-term?

Been that way for a very long time. If they are especially terrible then they can get "suspended" a week. Not really a suspension but they will get skipped over in the rotation one week and not get paid. Happened to Pete Morelli last year after he and his blew two game deciding calls within a couple weeks of each other. Like actually changed the outcome of the game. Hochuli didn't get to go to the postseason that year he screwed up that fumble call in the Chargers-Broncos game that led to a rule change and he goes every single year.

Yeah, that system was already in place, he's just trying to say it means something now.

If he is really about that life, do like Adam Silver has done with the NBA to assure fans there is no ulterior motives and make those official grades and reports available to the fans.  Be transparent.

i still think we're going to see wholesale changes. cam took it straight to the top and it's going to pay dividends.

Exactly. Players are secretly thanking him. Even though it was already in place, they're gonna make some visible changes.

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
