The umpire in football (situated in the defensive backfield) often has those scenarios that you presented occur to him...and he's in that position for the vast majority of the plays in a game. Only the NFL has addressed this by placing the umpire in the offensive backfield, but even then, they have the umpire go back in certain scenarios and situations.
