Well apparently all of the officiating analysts (John Parry, Terry McAulay) think that it is OPI.

Maybe this explains why Al is no longer on the field.

Thought the crew was overall solid. Mello missed a false start early in the game that ended up resulting in a turnover. Boston had a few iffy spots plus a bad holding call and Baynes did not call the OPI at the end of the game. Cheffers- 3.7 Hall- 3.7 Mello- 2.9. Actually had a good game after the missed false start but that was a humungous miss. Boston- 3.2 looked a bit shaky in general Quirk- 3.7 Wilson- 3.7 Baynes- 3.4 Crew- 3.47 These rankings make no sense to me. Mello misses a call early in the game that results not in a turnover, the foul didn’t cause or result in a turnover. But his downgrade is greater than Baynes, who missed a call that resulted in Minnesota getting a touchdown that A) should have been denied and B) ended the game. In addition Al Riveron should get a zero for failure to overturn the call and the explanation that flies in the face of clear visual evidence.

With Baynes while he did miss the OPI call I found that to be a difficult call to get in real time, only after seeing a slow motion replay did I notice it should have been pass Interference. So while the call was missed, I understand why he missed it hence only a slight downgrade. A false start is something that should not be missed and if it had been called correctly there wouldn't have been any turnover. Perhaps I could have given a Baynes a little bit bigger downgrade but this is just one man's opinion. It's not like these are the Officiating Office ratings.

Your point is well taken that false start should not be missed under any circumstances as it simply involves movement on one side of the line or the other. And I’ll concede that the offense OPI Can be difficult to officiate because of the speed strength and agility of the athletes involved and sheer speed of the play, but isn’t that why officiating crews have specific officials dedicated to each receiver defender? In addition the league is supposed to review these calls because of the difficulty in real time. I found Al Riveron and the replay officials more at fault for the missed call, as this seems to me to be the exact situation that the rules were adjusted in the off-season.

Maybe this explains why Al is no longer on the field. Perhaps.
(But it then begs the question of why he's in charge--and is given the responsibility of making replay rulings.)
