    I completely - and respectably disagree. Far too many times we have 5 minute slo-mo replays to 'figure it out' and the announcers, the highly respected former official, the viewing audience and the guy who actually makes the decision all have a differing opinion. It's an exercise in futility. Get the egregiously bad calls right and live with the rest - we're stuck with living with the rest either way. 

    I think we actually agree. The very close calls that require reply with 10 shots in slo mo need to go. But at the same time, you can’t have blatant things that aren’t called and aren’t reviewable. For example, that blatant PI in the saints-rams game from several years ago could happen again today with no recourse.

    This deserves more than just an awesome.  

     

    I guess I'm on a crusade cuz I just made this comment in another thread - the most sensible solution I've ever heard is to eliminate slo-mo from replay reviews - if it isn't obvious in a real time replay let it stand. It'll never happen, but that's the best solution I've ever heard.

    If it takes 5 minutes of super slo mo replays to figure it out, call stands as called. If it’s extremely obvious on the first TV replay and 95 percent of the viewing audience knows it, that needs to be called. For example, missed facemasks, obvious holding, stepping out of bounds, intentional grounding, horse collar tackles etc
