Dean Blandino will have final say over replay reviews

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said on Mike & Mike that under the 2017 rules, the replay review will go to head of officiating Dean Blandino, and although Blandino will consult with the referee on the field, it will be Blandino who makes the final decision. Although the NFL has already implemented the procedures that allow the referee to communicate with the league’s officiating office, in past years it was still the ref who had final say.

“We are going to centralize the replay back here in New York,” Goodell said. “Dean Blandino will have the final decision. We think that will move it much quicker.”

Here is a picture of Dean describing his methods of deciphering replay reviews... he calls it "the coin flip" and says it will make his percentage of getting calls correct go up by 100%.

 

 

 

Also here is a picture of Dean talking about how long his penis is...

will speed up replays (how they're selling it), but it gives the league too much control in influencing a game.  I don't think the games are rigged, but moves like this make me at least think about it

That douche is a, well, a douche.

Double edge sword. On one side I like not giving the ed hochulis the right to be a jackass on the other this could lead to major rigging of games.

So.. if a blatant hit to the head happens....

...

.

If no call is made? What changes? 

Seriously, have the replay calls been the problem?

Or the No calls?

@jangler no I don't think this will affect situations like what Cam went thru last season, imo that was just the officials doing what they do and Blandino turning a blind eye to it.

Pretty much all Blandino has done is give one excuse after the other about the AWFUL officiating in the NFL.

Now if he's personally responsible for all replay reviews, he can just make excuses for himself.

My faith in the replay system is restored.
