John Gianelli Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 In response to the incessant whining of players who think the ref blew a call, and in order to speed up the game, here is a proposed new penalty and new rules for reviewing a play. - 10-yard penalty for questioning the call, or non-call, of a penalty. Not sure what happens if a player questions the penalty for questioning a penalty. - give each coach two chances to review a call per half. They can be used any time, including in the final two minutes, but they can only be used on scoring plays or in the red zone. - no more automatic review of all scoring plays, or any other plays So, what about teams that think they have been screwed by too many non-reviewable bad calls over the course of the season? Your reward will be great in the draft. - since all game film is already reviewed in the evaluation of officials, have the people who review the officials keep a tally of blown calls. A blown call that goes against your team results in a point; if it's in the red zone, two points; if it's on a scoring play, five points. The team with the most points at the end of the season gets a compensatory extra pick at the end of the first round. The team with the second most points gets an extra pick at the end of the second round, and so on, through all seven rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Offensive PI should be 15 yards and loss of down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if a team uses up its challenges or there is a particularly bad call not in the endzone or redzone, they may lose the game, be they might be awarded a coupon for a draft pick next year? Gotta love this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Make all plays and penalties reviewed automatically. It is not going to slow the game down. Also have a full time replay guy that makes the call and cut the 6 minutes round trip to walk to the replay booth get set up and review the play.

quinnearlysghost88 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 what if you question the penalty you received for questioning a penalty? is this double jeopardy? are they offsetting? are assessed both penalties? also, how do you decide that the player is arguing the new penalty you just assessed for arguing the original penalty and not still arguing the original penalty?

Kirby Jackson Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I actually think the opposite. Everything should be reviewable. The goal is to get the play right and the technology is there to do it. We need to implement a better system than running to the sidelines and looking under the hood. Tennis matches can tell if a ball is in or out within like a millimeter and it takes 10 seconds. Footballs should be equipped with microchips and the first down markers and end zone the same. There shouldn't be manual spotting of the football. It shouldn't be measured with guys running chains onto the field. It is 2017. Make all plays and penalties reviewed automatically. It is not going to slow the game down. Also have a full time replay guy that makes the call and cut the 6 minutes round trip to walk to the replay booth get set up and review the play. Easy Ha ha, looks like you beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinii Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Why has everything gotten so complicated? A rule for the rule and a challenge for the challenge. It is getting absurd. There will still be mistakes made no matter what approach is taken. Playa play on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortunesmith Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) I don't have any issue with challenges or automatic replays - they can even expand it as far as I'm concerned. Getting calls right is better than speeding things up. However, if you really want to speed up the game, eliminate TV timeouts and reduce commercials. Neither scenario is likely. Players will *never* stop complaining about calls or non-calls to the officials. It's a time honored tradition in every sport.

PatsFanNH Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Assessing a penalty for a player complaining about a call or non call is beyond idiotic. These are human beings out there who are emotionally vested. (I hope) they should be allowed to display and argue a bad call/non call.. If you want to speed up the game is simple.. Allow them to play football without having so many ticky tacky rules to enforce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy Yeah - how much would it be to throw a bunch of dudes into a room to watch football all sunday/monday? Each one gets a game, multiple camera angles and can review a call right into the refs. There's very rarely more than what - 8 or 9 games going on at a single time. What would you have to pay these guys like 60k a year? Put em in buffalo, and you could probably pay them less. They legit only work during football season - and in the offseason you could require them to complete some i dunno testing scenarios or something. Make them go into an office if only to make sure that they aren't drinking on football sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how much you can see. Then he can radio down to the field judge and alert them if something needs a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
