Please NFL, Fire Al Riveron (1 Viewer)

He was a terrible in-game referee and he's even worse as the head of officiating (who the hell thought that was a good idea?!). The NFL should have paid Dean Blandino to stay, he at least knows pass interference when he sees it.  He seems so afraid of making the wrong decision that he often just makes no decision. 

The NFL should move on from him and add a sky judge to every game. A ref who's not in the mix on the field and can watch things as more of an impartial observer from the box. A sky judge would most likely have caught the time snafu at the end of the first half of the Saints game, and would have easily recognized the PI on Mike Evans by Richard Sherman. 

If Al Riveron makes it all 17 weeks there are going to be more blown calls that cost people games that could have been easily corrected by a more competent person. 

 
What we need is a tribune of five drunk guys in their mid 50s who's job it is to eyeball every play for five seconds and then vote on it.  Move on move on.

 
Reviewing PI has been an epic fail.  they shouldn't review those type of calls anyway. Just wastes time.

I have no issue with not reviewing the call since i don't think they should be reviewed at all.  Judgement calls shouldn't be reviewed.

 
The problem with Riveron is you never know what you're going to get, no consistency.  Sometimes he upholds calls based on there not being 100% evidence to change and other times he changes them based on what likely happened even if there is not 100% visual proof.  He is a complete disaster.  Really a disgrace that he was not fired or reassigned after last year.
