I think it'd be a huge (and probably invalid) assumption to think that Goodell isn't doing exactly what the owners want. The bargaining with the refs isn't really directly in his purview, I don't think. That's on the owners as a group. Just like the player lockout was last year. These are greedy suckers who want every dime they can squeeze. Goodell is just the suit who runs the main office.Originally Posted by Dawgmatic
The funny thing about the call was that it was reviewed in the booth by a regular replay official. Sure the replacement ref screwed up the call, but the replay officials are the same ones that have always been there and are supposed to provide a safety net.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but do you think the "regular" ref in the booth messed this up on purpose to help his locked out comrades by making the replacements look like morons? I still think the majority of the blame rests on the refs who made the call, but I can't help wondering about the motives of the guy in the booth (and they are all former NFL refs) who used to work with the guys that are currently locked out.
If you watched the game, you just knew those two guys were going to blow it. They both ran up to the play and immediately started looking at each other. Each guy started slowly moving his hands, and it looked like each was waiting on the other to make the call. Realizing that the "other guy" wasn't doing anything, they both decided to make a call, and they made that decision at the same time. But, they signaled different things. Funny but pathetic.
They looked like they just ran up on the scene of an accident moments after it occurred.

Tweet from ESPN's Adam Schefter:
There is "an agreement in principle at hand" per @mortreport that means the sides are "just about finished with the agreement in principle."
Peter King from SI tweeted this:
@SI_PeterKing: I'm hearing NFLRA negotiator Scott Green has notified officials that a deal is not imminent. Stay tuned, obviously.
I heard that the replay officials cant overturn possession. All they could do is review rather he came down in bounds or the ball never hit the ground, etc. I heard this on Mike and Mike and a few others, but I am not sure. Seems like they should be able to award possession, but a lot of people said the replay officials cant. It is like a judgement call, much like the FG at the end of the Ravens-Pats game.
I heard this too and it is wrong. You can overturn possession in the end zone.
Yeh seems to make sense. You can judge if the ball was simultaneously possessed or not. It isnt that hard.
