I do not think full time would make much of a difference. Judgement calls will always be there but I do think at the end of a close game where a call could determine the outcome of a game, it should be reviewed before calling the game. My main example is the Giants game. The player did what he was supposed to and that is report eligible. The official "thought" he was ineligible. With a review by the officials they would have determined him as eligible and the Giants would have had another opportunity. In reality, that call may cost players and coaches their jobs and it's a call that could have been avoided.

With the speed of the game I think the NFL officials do one heck of a job. There are some awfully good calls made but unfortunately good calls do not get the press that bad ones do.
