Sean Payton told the NFL Network that if the league doesn't make changes to its instant replay system or officiating this offseason, "then ownership is saying they're comfortable with what happened a year ago."
The New Orleans Saints coach was obviously referencing the missed pass interference and personal foul calls that helped cost his team a trip to the Super Bowl in January. But he didn't stop with just that one play. He also suggested that officials should be hired on a full-time basis instead of part-time.
"There are a handful of things that we've got to be better at right now," Payton said while making some of his strongest comments yet on the subject during an interview from the league meetings in Phoenix.
