Throw a flag on the officials

We are too technologically advanced, and the NFL is overrun with too much money to put up with the kind of officiating errors that are ruining the pro game. The league needs younger, full-time referees on the field and a three-man officiating team sitting in the press box supervising what is called on the field. All calls — including ones like the offensive pass-interference call that killed Seattle — should be subject to quick review and overturning.

I agree 100% with this statement. Right now the NFL is like a Ferrari F1 race car with studded snow tires on it. There is technology available (embedded IR in the ball with overhead IR careras) that would show with certainty if a ball breaks the plane on scoring situations. Not really that expensive either, hell the NHL used it just for fun. Same with the box review, the NHL does it every game, very rarely does it slow the game down.
It is so reeruned that a league with the revenues of the NFL has some part-time clown waddling over to the sidelines to look at a 19" monitor with a hood, having to give someone else directions on how to operate the replay... Just reeruned. It's called replay officials, and the NFL needs them in the worst way.
