"Our goal is consistency," vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said, "and it's the one chance before the season starts where everybody is together and everybody gets to look at the same video, everybody gets to hear the questions that are being asked and hear the same answers. The whole process is to leave here with everybody on the same page."

While illegal contact and defensive holding will remain a point of emphasis in 2015, a new player safety issue will also be enforced.

"We're looking at loose-ball piles, so when there's a pile of players after a fumble, the action around the pile, players forcibly grabbing players and pulling them off the pile -- that's going to be unsportsmanlike conduct this year," Blandino said.

Translation, "Our goal is to consistently bail the Patriots out with well timed illegal contact and defensive holding calls. As per my boss, Commissioner Robert Kraft".

They should use the same crew to do every single game. Space out the games to make it possible.
