Thats completely the wrong way to approach it and will only cause more problems. Finger pointing and blaming, only creates animosity and never fixes problems. It just makes certain people feel empowered to reem out a subordinate. It should be used as a correction tool to minimize future errors, and re-inforce how to handle these types of situtations.
IMO the rich boys club that is NFL owners need to get off their fat wallets and make a much more significant investment in officiating. These guys should be like players in the film room all week reviewing game tapes from past games on Monday and Tuesday, than preparing for their next game over the course of the week. You need what, 16 head referees earning a salary of say $500 to 750 grand a year and than the rest of the crew between $200 and 350 based on experience. In the grand scheme of the NFL it would be peanuts and take away their excuse that they need to make a living on the side with the current pay rates.
