PetermansRedemption Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 This is an idiotic move. Why these two calls only? Well, we know why, knee-jerk reaction to one blown call. I’m fine with penalties being reviewable, but you can’t just pick and choose two examples. This has to be accompanied by further rules addendums, which it is not. First of all, if this is the way the NFL is going, then every penalty needs to be reviewable. Secondly, they have to impose a hard limit on challenges. Two seems to be a good number that works. No more getting a challenge back if you win them, you have two all game. This will likely result in the coach saving that second challenge. I would bet most second challenges would go unused. Then the NFL needs to implement a “shot clock” on replay. Especially if you are challenging penalties. Referees get 2 minutes to look at the tablet and communicate with New York. If a conclusion is not reached in 2 minutes communication cuts off and the call on the field stands. The purpose of replay is not to nit pick everything, it’s to overturn egregiously incorrect calls. Especially now that penalties are challnegeable this has to be the letter of the law that the NFL sticks to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This rule change is long overdue. These are game-changing calls that are regularly botched in the field. My only complaint is that they did not include replay for unnecessary roughness and roughing the passer penalties.

Crap like than can make a Victory a Loss We will see how many teams complain when that happens. I imagine this isn’t going to be a very well liked rule. End of the game, team throws a Hail Mary and has one challenge left. No flag pass falls incomplete. Booth reviews the play. Comes back some contact was made by the defender. Results in first and goal from the 1. Offense punches it in. Game over. That is absolutely not the way I want to see a game end. Unfortunately it’s the direction the league is going.

LabattBlue Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Sal C was on WGR this morning rambling about how this type of play could be reviewed on the last play of the game(Hail Mary), and people would have to stand around for 5 minutes of a review before knowing if the game is over. This is your Bills beat reporter. Way to have a grasp of what has been approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly right. All the posters in this thread who think this is a great idea, will be bitching up a storm, the first time this works against the Bills.
