"'I've got a tough enough job to coach this football team,' Vrabel said with a chuckle. 'There's not much. It becomes comical at a point.'"
"I'm like, 'Did they even watch the video?'"
"Vrabel said the officials send videos out every week and do "a great job." He and John Stretcher, New England's vice president of football operations and strategy, "hang on to every word.""
Mike Vrabel criticized inconsistent officiating after the Patriots' 25-19 win over the New Orleans Saints, calling some calls 'comical' and questioning whether officials watched review videos. He acknowledged that officials send weekly video reviews and that those reviews appear thorough, yet in-game calls sometimes contradict the reviews. Vrabel and John Stretcher review officials' footage closely and express frustration when live rulings differ from the review guidance. The Patriots suffered several questionable calls, including an offensive pass interference that negated a 61-yard touchdown. New England overcame the officiating issues to win the game and improve to a 4-2 record.
