The amount of the fine would be graded on the nature of the missed call, how blatant it was, and the damages it cost the other team. If a team lost a game because of a missed call the damages could reach 1 million. If the NFL can fine a player for wearing the wrong colored socks, why can’t it go both ways??

The monies from these fines would go into a retired NFL players fund, to the team the missed call was against, or education.

Not completely disagreeing with you, but... "If a team lost a game because of a missed call".

Scenario: 1 minute to go, team is 4 points behind

• 1st and goal - dropped pass in the endzone, receiver was completely uncovered
• 2nd and goal - receiver again completely uncovered, overthrown
• 3rd and goal - RB stopped for no gain
• 4th and goal - Field Goal missed, blatant and brutal roughing the kicker, not called

So... has the missed roughing call lost the team the game? Or was it the inability to catch or throw to a wide open receiver?
