One was done to ***** the Saints over. No question that reversal was a 'screw you' from the league. Edited May 8, 2020 by Koko78
Mr. WEO Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 This season, with every blatant PI not flagged, fans will explode as they watch the penalty occur on replay.

Expand That actually helps the refs make their point: that they can overturn stuff when they feel like without the PI video review. It was so easy for the XFL to implement a simple video booth review process. The NFL just can't get out of its own way....or doesn't want to....
TigerJ Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 I think Al Riveron should have been canned before the PI replay, but that's just me. 2
UConn James Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 The only way to make it workable would be to send video to NY and have the head of officiating in a sealed room, given no context about what the situation or ruling on the field was, and give an overarching verdict of the proper call. The refs and their union HATED this rule and did everything they could to give a big middle finger to the competition committee and the fans. They want to have that control to change the course of a game with a single call, and in my heart of hearts, I believe the league gives them direction to favor some teams / players, and to keep games close so teevee ratings stay high. 1

machine gun kelly Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 It was a waste of a rule. No point in keeping around.
Kmart128 Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Refs screwed fans over be refusing to change calls. The fact the NFL is taking the sides of the refs over their fanbase is ridiculous 1

None existed for the previous 30 years. It's odd that fans would cheer the loss of any chance that an egregious ref error can be reversed. I would take an error correction rate of 19.5% (data as of end of November) over no chance at correction. 1

Expand I think Kmart means All Riveron and company deliberately caused the failure of the rule by refusing to overturn obvious bad calls on the field. This perspective, which I also hold, suggests that the referees had motivation to see the challenge rule fail because it was a threat to their power. If that is the case, and the league has dumped the replay rule, it's because the league caved and the referees won.
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 They just need to exercise common sense. They don't need PI replay. They used common sense when they nullified the turnover on the second half Kick-Off of the Wild Card game. Screwed us out of points but watching it live I knew they had to overturn it. It does open up the can or worms though of what do you do if a guy drops the ball intentionally just before crossing the goal line? Historically that's always been a turnover. Would they now call it a TD? We know what his intentions were and that he was easily going to score.

So I disagree that refs won out over fans.

What is obviously missing now is offensive holding replay. Uncalled offensive holding can change an entire game. We need to review every possible hold to make sure no one is getting away with it and screwing us fans!!
