Bruce Arians calls for full-time officals

[reuben.ahmed]

Remember when we had "replacement officials" and the debacle of a year that was? As Bengals fans we probably overlooked it because we did seem to have a better than average year and many of the bad calls went our way (lol). The calls made were hilarious, though.

Teachers are "fulltime" but they don't teach all year (well, most of them). Referees need training, they should all be on the same page. I like to tell my fellow developers I shouldn't be able to tell Mike's code from Erin's code, it needs to be consistent and organized. We shouldn't be able to tell when Ed Hochli is reffing.

Part of offseason or OTA programs could be refs sitting with each team individually and describing what a damn catch is/etc. Maybe they already do stuff like that, but I doubt it?
