NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he was skeptical that having full-time referees would improve officiating in the league.The commissioner also said the league is looking at a number of ways to make broadcasts shorter, including cutting some advertising in response to television ratings being down this season.Goodell addressed the issues at a New York Times conference Thursday amid increased talk that having part-time referees has contributed to the NFLs officiating issues.Goodell said he thought having full-time officials would not eliminate the human element, adding that he would consider it only if I thought full-time officials would solve the problem.As you see, there are officiating mistakes in other leagues, and theyre full-time officials, Goodell said. I dont think thats going to eliminate the human element. What we want to do is get the best people on the field to officiate the game to the highest levels. Our officials work incredibly hard, and the reality is they do a great job. But theyre going to miss calls.Goodell also addressed the use of replays and its impact on the pace of the game.?How much replay do you want to have? Because it can slow the game down to a halt, he said. So it goes back to the pace of game. If you can challenge every play, were going to spend more of our time watching video. We replay all scoring plays, and I get this reaction from fans quite a bit, and partners. A touchdown play, everybodys focused on it, its a great play, its a great time to celebrate, but were not sure if its really a touchdown yet, so it takes the celebration out of it. So you have to find that balance in there where you use technology to improve officiating.The average length of regular-season games last season was 3 hours 8 minutes, six minutes longer than in 2008.New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton vented his frustrations over the leagues officiating last week, telling NBC Sports Radios Pro Football Talk Live that its madness the NFL doesnt employ full-time officials.There arent many Mondays that go by that there arent at least 28 to 30 head coaches that are ticked off about certain calls that were missed or werent made. You see it all the time, Payton said. And its the frustration that the system currently hasnt improved. We say it has, but it hasnt.Were the only league that has officials that have primary other jobs, which is really madness. We can pay these guys. They should be full-time NFL officials, and they should be working throughout the week, communicating. And I know they get their hour in here, their hour in there, and maybe even more than that. But by and large, every other sports league employs full-time officials. And ours, these guys all have other significant jobs. And I just think its very difficult to do with the speed of the game.Payton cited a pass interference non-call from the Atlanta Falcons loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8 and a pass interference call on the Saints against the Oakland Raiders in Week 1.NFL senior vice president of officiating Dean Blandino acknowledged two mistakes made by the officiating crew in Monday nights game between the Seahawks and Bills, including not flagging Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman for unnecessary roughness as he attempted to block Bills kicker Dan Carpenters field goal attempt at the end of the first half.
