Rod of refereeing.

i'm asssuming he means one ref and one linesman which makes sense while also advocating for replay review of penalties

My issue is plenty of stuff happens behind the ref/play, that’s what the second ref is for. If the bench refs could call too I wouldn’t have an issue.

i agree--i mean i don't agree with him in the sense that i think i'd keep all the refs--i can see dropping one linesman cause if you miss an offsides it'll be reviewed anyway. they should get rid of the being shorthanded sh if you get a review wrong cause goaltender interference is subjective as 'did he catch a football' and is ridiculous to cost you a goal if the refs stand by what was called. i do think some of the stuff should be plenty reviewable

It can’t hurt in trying it for a season. I could see the refs pushing back though. They like their little kingdoms, even when they get things wrong.

sure they do--and that's what's lacking--the accountability there. it gets exposed over and over again in the playoffs as so terribly subjective but also while they let tons of stuff go until they decide not to. then nothing changes, just like NFL. people love to talk about the chiefs/bengals trash reffing that weren't paying attention when the panthers got screwed out of browns/@ ATL because of the same

    • In January 2014, I posted this on another forum.  Seems like it fits again:   Do you remember cheering for the rain? Trying to sleep after “The no-call”? Do you know who needs to "Ice up, son"?   Remember pleading for .500? Thinking there’s no catching the Saints? Punting to Buffalo and knowing how it was going to end?   Do you remember how you felt about Kalil’s ad? Or the fan’s follow up? Gruden’s interview with Cam?   Do you remember Clausen being the steal of the draft? Will you ever forgive Mel Kiper?   Did you cry as Jake said his goodbyes? Do you remember the game that cost Gruden his job?   As fans chant “Luuuuuuke,” do you still hear “Moooose”? … “Hoooove”?   Do you recall changing the diaper? Paddling the boat? Being happy just hearing the name Smoot?   Do you recall the day when it hurt to say “Keep pounding,” and you felt you’d lost a close friend?   Did you hunt the net for Bojangle’s commercials? Have you seen a Cajun’s bare butt?   Do you remember the sunken feeling when Smitty was caught from behind and didn’t get up?   Sports Illustrated’s prediction?   Were you angry at Janet for stealing the spotlight? Does “X-Clown” still give you chills? Do you sing the wrong words to “Day-O”? Whenever you hear “He Hate Me,” do you also hear Rosinski finishing the sentence?   Did you like Seifert a little less when he let Walls’ streak of games-with-a-reception end? But nothing compared to letting Steve go, right? Do you remember that invincible feeling you had when we won the first game of 2001? Do you recall who our division rivals were?   Do you remember thinking “Just wait ‘til Bazooka’s healthy”? How about that weird grin you got watching Kevin Greene fire up the D? Or being undefeated at Ericsson?   If your answer is “no,” we happily welcome you as a new fan of our beloved team. Trust me, we’ll be happy to explain all of these and more to catch you up. For the rest of you, it’s been entirely too long since we were alive after week 17. But every question that you answered “yes” to makes this all the sweeter. Welcome to the playoffs.
