Guess he didn't want to throw his guys under the bus on national television.

I don't think admitting a mistake is throwing guys under a bus.

One of the best things about Mike Pierrera, when he was the NFL officiating supervisor, was that he was willing to admit honest mistakes. It gave him credibility.

Sure, but if I'm not mistaken, Pereira isn't affiliated with the NFL anymore even if he knows most if not all of those officials personally.

When he was head of officials, the would regularly have a show every week on NFL.com where they reviewed the most controversial rulings of the week. If the crew was wrong, they were wrong and he flat out said it.

Didn't know that, thanks. People want transparency, especially in the digital age where we have access to replays upon replays upon replays.
