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.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
