Are you criticizing my criticism?!?
Of all the perfectionists here I'm surprised nobody else is complaining about the timing of the flag ... oh wait, it was an NFL official. They do everything right!

The speed and timing of the flag has nothing to do as to weather there was a foul or not.
Two sayings that have been taught to me by several highly respected college officials in regard to the game of football are, “If you think that you are moving at the right speed you need to slow down, this is not basketball” and “Let your mind digest what your eyes have seen and then react”.
I have found that when I do those two things I might take a little heat about a late call, but 99.9 time out of 100 I make the right call. The Major League Baseball Umpires use that philosophy and just look at how long they take sometimes to call a runner safe or out.
