plenzmd1 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Sunday morning, and I am bored. Read this article yesterday, and it got me thinking http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001031090/article/are-changes-upcoming-for-pi-penalty-challenges #1) I HATE this freaking rule #2) Every big pass play/TD in last two minutes going to be challenged...what a beating this rule is going to be. Forget ever being able to celebrate a late TD scored by your team on a pass play., cause maybe there was a pick at yard 3, or a push off by the receiver at yard 7.. no matter what it is going to be challenged! #3) Could this actually hurt the Pats? Do the Pats still run a bunch of rub/pick plays? Maybe those types of plays have to go out the window at critical junctions of the game? Do all kind of screens late in games now become riskier? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forward Progress Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 This rule change will make it harder to cheat by committing offensive pass interference on every play, knowing that it won't be called on every play. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? Challenges are the illusion that a team can correct a call. How many games have you ever seen an overturned call decide the outcome late? Seems like there is usually the team that is “supposed” to win and officials ignore evidence when they should overturn a call that would hurt said team. How many games have we ever won because of a challenge? The more officials can intervene, the better it is for New England and the worse it is for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Riiiight. Just like every other rule change has hurt NE*. If you think refs making judgement calls on inconclusive replay reviews favors anyone other than the league's marquee teams, you are dreaming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know..seems to me these pick/rub plays and blocking downfield too early will be pretty cut and dry. Do Defensive coaches start to coach a defensive player to run into offensive guys knowing it can be reviewed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile I would like to take a moment to apologize to the esteemed (old and crotchety) @plenzmd1 for polluting his thread. it is a knee jerk rule, and like the “what constitutes a catch” bs it will lead to more confusion and angst than answers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocemur Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 The league screwed up the catch rule a few years back so that nobody could define a catch and obvious catches were ruled incomplete. This rule will be the same. It will only make things worse as the calls are dragged out and reinforce the perception (which may be true) that the refs are deciding the outcome of the games and not the players.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Solution: Refs off the field and out of the replay booth the final two minutes. This is when you want the Oakland Raiders of old as your team. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hopefully it’ll only be rare occasions like the Saints game with NCR, and not watching for push offs on jump balls during Hail Marys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in the rule about Hail Mary plays or last minute of game etc..get ready for it! what about a pick play at the 1 1/2 past the line of scrimmage that helps convert a 4th down in the 4th quarter?

H2o Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 There are only 2 challenges, 3 if you win the other two if I am not mistaken. Will it end up costing teams this year? Sure it will at some point. Either way it's not like you can challenge every play. Coaches will have to be smart just like with anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
