Should the NFL have Full Time Officials?

[BIG UMP]

We on this board normally support officials. The main concern of the naysayers is GET IT RIGHT.

Well based on that statement, Ron Blum did it right and now he is getting blasted for that too. On the challenge he stated he felt it was not challengable but would look into it further with the replay official upstairs.

Why in the hell are people still saying he is incompetent for not knowing what is challengable and what is not. The rule is open to intrepretation like many of our rules and most of what each and everyone of us works and lives by. He felt it was not challengable but was willing to make sure. Commend him for being willing to check and GET IT RIGHT.

My take on the judgement calls, they are just that, decisions the official on site has to make spur of the moment with his knowledge of the rules and their applicability. Well done, crews.
