[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 848050, member: 7261"] I don't think its a matter of the on the field refs not knowing the rules, but more of a factor of 2 things. First, refs are being asked to make split second decisions on every play. Second, each ref's field of vision is limited to what a normal person can see. Even New York, with all the angles and slow motion aren't getting every call right, so on the field refs are never going to get all the calls correct. As technology advanced, so did everyone's ability to scrutinize every call, every play, frame by frame. So after almost every game, there is this constant chatter of "blown calls and how they changed the outcome of the game". Those blown calls were always there, technology, with social media being a big part of it, has just made it something a lot of people love to talk about and break down, frame by frame. Given that, its just a matter of what balance sits well between the NFL and its Fans. There will never be a clear opinion on that. Some want the game back to where it was pre-technology. Some want the game run as perfectly as possible, using all technology known to man. At the end of the day, the NFL does what they want, but hears the complaints and is only going to change things that assure themselves of still having what the majority of its paying audience feel is a quality product.
