Officiating and possible rule changes

Roughing I wholly agree with. Some of the calls this season have been embarrassing for a violent sport. Not precisely related, but the Alec Pierce call was ridiculous.

PI I think needs a hard look at the rules wording. It needs to be more definitive about what is and is not PI and do away with this 'refs will/won't let them play' scenario. Just officiate it consistently, not have each crew set it's own guidelines. Replay won't help when it's most often the interpretation that's the issue.
