I can say NFL officials are truly a tight ship organization and my respect for their level of checks and balances is through the roof

    I am sat next to an official from the Atlanta game and walked through every penalty called and some that weren't. I am not telling you his name or the flight, but I can say NFL officials are truly a tight ship organization and my respect for their level of checks and balances is through the roof after learning more about them. Couple unbiased and non-identifying comments. Officials do not care in the slightest who wins or losses. They care about being accurate and keeping the accountability scores up vs their peers. Your instant reply slow motion point of view is respected, and their bosses 100% slow thing down to make sure calls were accurate, and their grades reflect that, but in realtime these are the best of the best. If they miss a call rest assured it did not go unnoticed by the NFL, their Bosses and the other refs. What they do in real-time is actually damn near amazing.
