Challenge flag is nothing but an excuse for more commercials

[Emily_Haines]

The NFL executives love nothing more than frequently game stoppages

Nothing gives them more wood than............

1] a score
2] time out
3] injured player
4] challenge flag thrown
5] td review
6] fan runs onto field
7] quarter ends
8] 2 minute warning

All excuses to stop the game and run commercials. The NFL is basically unwatchable now. I watched OU/Texas Saturday and there was 4 straight possessions with no commercial breaks.

I'm surprised they don't give the coaches 10 challenges. It was never about getting in right. It was all an excuse to make more money.

They want to make the game better, quit coming up with excuses to stop/delay the game.

i like seeing them get the calls right...i would like to see some of those "unreviewable" calls reviewed, as well... maybe if you dont gamble, you dont care, but to those with money riding on games, not getting fukked by the human element is a must

[iifold]

It's a money making business...

Nothing, and I mean Nothing, will get in the way of this...

Not even Jesse Jackson and a lawsuit... They force them to hire black coaches and start black quarterbacks to protect this hustle...

The Machine is in Motion...

I like how they talk about the D getting tired. Yeah from what? Standing, waiting, 5 seconds of play.

Challenge flag has won and lost games for certain teams

Yeah who would want something in the game that makes calls more accurate?

I am wondering if coach is told by someone watching tv before throwing the challenge flag? Because every time I see the tv replays and looks like the call is wrong, the coach throws flag.

yes they have people watching it on the screen and telling them when to review


and yes it is ridiculous and football is practically unwatchable with all those commercial breaks

Whats great is this

- TD
- commercial
- Kick off
- commercial
- Quarter ends/2minute warning/timeout
-commercial

10+ minutes of commercials with about 30 seconds of game time elapsed is a completely regular occurrence

it is becoming hard to watch. two weeks ago cant remember if it was monday or sunday night game, the first half took well over two hours.

Just the 1st Quarter in the game last night took 55 minutes with all the BS penalties and stupid challenges.
