If not for the obvious missed call in the NFC Championship Game http://www.seahawkscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-phil-haynes-jersey , the NFL would not have added instant replay for pass interference. But it happened, and they have.The NFL is holding its annual officiating clinic in Plano, Texas, this weekend, and expanded replay was all the talk in the media session with Al Riveron, the NFL’s senior vice president of officiating. Riveron said the only feedback he has gotten from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell or the Competition Committee on expanding replay to include offensive and defensive pass interference is: “Let’s get it right.”“We understand the play that elevated and got us to where we are today. Yes and no,” Riveron said. “When I say yes and no, this is the topic that’s been talked about now for the last five, six Ugo Amadi Jersey , seven years. The Competition Committee and ownership is constantly looking at ways to get better. We have discussed replay before as it pertains to other situations — pass interference, holding, personal fouls. But we do understand a play of this magnitude elevated us to the point where we are today. But again, it’s not new. This has been in discussions for awhile, and again, and I said, ‘Let’s get it right,’ and it’s all about getting it right. Our officials are very, very good. However http://www.bengalsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-drew-sample-jersey , we always need to get better, want to get better, because we owe it to the game and if this is going to get us there, and it will, then that’s what it’s all about.”Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman‘s hit on then-Saints receiver Tommylee Lewis late in the NFC Championship Game didn’t draw a flag, prompting outrage and eventually expanded replay for 2019.Riveron said expanded replay changes nothing for on-field officials. They will call interference as they always have. It does add another layer for booth replay officials in the final two minutes of each half, and Riveron now will have to make decisions on what some see as a subjective play. “Replay starts with the ruling on the field,” Riveron said. “Unless we have clear and obvious visual evidence to change that ruling then we stay with the ruling on the field. This will be no different. It will be no different from a receiver stepping out of bounds. It will be no different from the ball hitting the ground on an attempted catch. This is the same. Replay starts with the ruling on the field and then clear and obvious visual evidence.”Clear and obvious might prove to be harder than it sounds, with everyone having an opinion on what pass interference is. Pass interference isn’t always as obvious as Robey-Coleman’s was (to everyone except the officials who missed the call). TEMPE http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/trayvon-mullen-jersey , Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have double-digit losses for the first time since 2012.Just when the Cardinals looked as if they truly had improved — with a win at Green Bay — they fell flat in a 17-3 home loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday.That left them at 3-10, tied with the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders for the worst record in the NFL and back in the thick of the battle for next year’s No. 1 draft pick. Unless the Cardinals can win one of their final three games — at Atlanta, at home against the Los Angeles Rams and at Seattle, Arizona will match the worst record since the franchise moved from St. Louis to Arizona in 1988.The 2000 Cardinals finished 3-13, with Vince Tobin fired seven games into the season and replaced by Dave McGinnis. The franchise didn’t have a winning record again until a surprising run to the Super Bowl in 2008.First-year coach Steve Wilks indicated he’s balancing giving young players a long look while still playing to win. He said he’s emphasizing playing for pride.“Very important. That’s the word that we are using from a pride standpoint,” he said. “You may say, ‘You’re not playing for anything,’ but you’re playing for pride. These guys in here are professionals, and they want to win just like the coaches. So http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/isaiah-johnson-jersey , we have to find a way to turn this thing around this week and go to Atlanta and get a win. “Wilks said he watched tape of the game twice Monday, and was encouraged to find the team still played hard.“I wanted to go back again because I wanted to see certain things,” he said. “I thought the guys played hard, and that’s what I told them. We gave ourselves a chance to win; we just didn’t finish.”Wilks thought the defense played well, until Detroit’s game-clinching 75-yard touchdown drive, aided by missed tackles and Arizona penalties.The Lions’ plan was to take Larry Fitzgerald out of the game with persistent double-teams. So it was the third quarter before he caught his first pass, which put him ahead of Jerry Rice for most receptions for one team. He ended up with five to put him at 1,286 for his career.“It is a two-way street in this business,” he said of the record. “You have to want to stick with a place http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/hunter-renfrow-jersey , organization, or team and the coaches have to want you to be here. It is a two-way street. I am appreciative of the opportunity and to the Bidwill family for giving me the shot to continue to play. I call Arizona home and it means a lot to me.”But Fitzgerald really wasn’t in any mood to discuss his latest landmark.“When I am done, I think I can look back and reflect on it,” he said. “Now is not the time. Being 3-10 is not a good feeling. I don’t feel celebratory.”Now Fitzgerald will have to endure the remainder of what looks to be the worst of his 15 seasons in Arizona. It also may well be his last, and not at all the way he wanted to go out.
