Pretty crazy. Going to make decisions and management of those challenge all the more important. Still only a limited number of challenges. Going to make it a lot more stressful for coaches.

how about this...

"Additionally, any end-of-game Hail Marys can obviously be reviewed for pass-interference purposes."

Well might help but they still f*** up replay on the reg.

It will have to be as clearly blatant as the Rams on Saints Pass Interference play, before they even dare call it.

d2bets · 03-26-19, 07:59 PM

Going to lead to more points and more offense. If you slow it down on replay, can find lots of PI where it wouldn't normally be called. Usually isn't called unless it actually happened. More omission than wrongly called. More points.

I watch red zone. it is perfect to combat the watching of 1 game. never get bored

The J-Dizzle · 03-28-19, 04:32 PM

Take it out of the coaches hands! Why don't they just put a guy in a booth somewhere that looks at blatant mistakes instead?

Yep! CFL setting the tech pace as usual. Had coaches challenges before the NFL as well I believe.

Is there really any other way to watch it!

It’s a pretty straightforward system. It should fix some obvious wrongs. But it may bring about some unintended consequences.

That much became pretty clear in a story shared by NFL Network’s Rich Eisen, who filled in to write Peter King’s usual Monday morning story for NBC Sports. Eisen discussed a presentation made by NFL head of officiating Alberto Riveron to the NFL Media Group’s annual talent symposium. Riveron played clips for the audience, all of whom cover football for a living. He then asked those in attendance whether or not they believed pass interference had been committed. The responses shared by Eisen shined a light on just how difficult this is going to be for NFL officials to navigate on a play-to-play basis.

Eisen wrote:

“For about 20 minutes, Riveron screened a half-dozen plays for OPI and DPI and asked us to decide what to do in real-time just as his officials will have to do. There wasn’t consensus in the room once. Not once.”

He went into some more detail:

“Riveron would show a sequence involving a possible offensive pass interference, pause the play and ask the room if we would throw a flag for OPI. Half of the room would say ‘yes’ and the other half ‘no.’ Then, he would ask us if there was no penalty called, would we, as the replay official, put a flag down on the field for OPI. Half the room said ‘yes’ and the other half of the room said ‘no.'”

Despite the lack of clear consensus on most plays, you can bet that these will be the plays that end up getting dissected and picked apart by the people who are employed for the sole reason of dissecting and picking apart such plays.
