Jack Del Rio - NFL Officials Should Use Common Sense

[JRutledge]

I love the common sense part of this. Yes they should use common sense like they did before and coaches complained they were not getting the right calls. Rules are there because the rules before did not work. If you allow officials to decide what is or is not based on "common sense" and not some hard fast rules or judgments (which also must be stated has been reviewed visually in the NFL as well) then you will not have consistency which coaches claim they want the most. They cannot have it both ways.

Not to mention that the coaches are the ones that help come up with the rules, I believe.

Yes they do especially in the NFL. If they do not like the rule they can change it. But do not be surprised when the next controversy is about what they came up with.
