Prickly Pete Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Here's a simple, better idea...let the teams inflate.the ball to whatever psi they want. Then there is no room for "controversy", and fans won't have to question if a team had an advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No solid argument against it did I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more about the kickers than anything to do with the QB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladiebla Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 And where on the ball would you put a chip, each tip? I don't think the logistics make this a good idea at all. They ought to empower the referees to make a call and everyone live with it, but part of the ref's role ois to opt when they want to see a replay because they are unsure. That said, I do think they should have a camera looking down the goal line from both directions.... Both tips and one in the centre, provides 3 measurement points for exact precision. At least you will know how far the ball travelled or if it broke the plane of the goalline. That would be an improvement over what we have now. Exactly, they could expand on it with a video/computer-ref that gives the true location to the refs on the field, but the basic should be this.
