Mike FF Today 607 Posted March 27, 2019 Sean Payton gets his wish. The owners agreed today to make all pass interference calls, including non-PI calls, reviewable. This will be one-year trial basis. It was approved 31-1 with only "no" vote coming from the Bengals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphster 274 Posted March 27, 2019 There was very little support for this across the league last week. Must've been some big league arm twisting going on. Quite the can of worms they're opening here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 585 Posted March 27, 2019 This is a terrible decision. as a Canadian, they put in this rule in the CFL a couple years ago. what happens is that teams save their challenges, and then late in the game do some long passes trying to draw the pass interference call and then they review. the late part of games seem to take forever due to reviewed Pass interference calls. it is a rule change that the CFL might be on the verge of changing back because it ended up not being popular with viewers. I know lots were calling for this rule, I dont think it is a rule you guys truly want at the end of the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brutal Brutus 182 Posted March 27, 2019 It should only be over turned if its clear, obvious, and egregious. I don't want this to be a hindsight 20/20 rule, where officials throwing flags after a review every time there's a bit of contact or slight pull on the jersey. The player should be tackled mid air, similar to the arcade game Blitz or what happened int he NFC championship game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe things will be different in the NFL. Let's hope..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rule change should allow home office to call in missed penalties instead of putting it in a coach's hands for a challenge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray_T 585 Posted March 29, 2019 the real issue I have with having penalties reviewable is really it kills the flow of the game. especially late in the games. you will see. I'm betting a year from now a lot of people wont like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jrokh 567 Posted March 29, 2019 This may be an unpopular view, and I have done a 180 on it personally, but I say get rid of all replay. I'll live with the human error of referees. The game was better before replay existed. Now get off my lawn! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,418 Posted March 29, 2019 I second the vote for getting rid of replay, I’ve never liked the ideal. Let the ref, ref the game. But since it’s here and it will stay, if I watched the games live or not, and thankfully I don’t waste my time doing so, you really just need the game highlites, and regardless if I watched them live still I would still be in favor of getting the call right. But I also second the vote for no replay, and no games played outside of the USA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted March 31, 2019 Reviews absolutely disrupt game flow. The NFL needs to focus on quickening the review pace. Someone outside the field of play should already know if a play should be overturned by the time a ref even gets to the replay booth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 585 Posted April 1, 2019 or they can have no coaches review, and the replay officials can look at every play and flag for review when they feel a game changing call was missed. rules of review: it has to be flagged within 15 seconds of the end of the play. at that point they have 1 minute to review and decide. the ref has 30 more seconds to announce it and start the play clock for the next play.

The game is already bogged down with far too many stoppages, delays, commercial breaks, reviews and of course injury timeouts that seem to take forever because the entire medical community and a psychologist has to check the players over now. It’s maddening how slooooooooow the game has become. Replay SUCKS in every possible way. I want it all to go away. The league survived for, oh, about 80 years or whatever without it. Game is almost unwatchable now as it is. As for Sean Payton, maybe he should have tried to put the Rams away when they had a chance MULTIPLE times during the game or tried to run the ball more. That game was lost by the coaching staff. Period. One play doesn’t make a game. Except of course for the tuck rule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 585 Posted April 26, 2019 honestly, I dont mind auto review on turnovers and scoring plays. those are the plays most likely to make a difference. its the other stuff I feel is unnecessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maulers1973 117 Posted May 20, 2019 This is pure BS. They're ruining football. 1st - ya can't hit the QB in the head, then the legs, now anywhere or his wittle feelings will get hurt 2nd - ya can't hit somebody when they catch the ball, ya gotta let them catch it and turn around 3rd - let's review judgement calls?? What's next, we going to review every play to see if an offensive lineman held? Why do I feel like this is some bs that THE worst commissioner in the history of the NFL shoved down everyone's throat?? For the first time in a LONG time I am considering not getting into FF this year. I also, don't know if I'll pay much attention to the NFL at all. After all their political posturing, women raping/hitting, I'm just done with it all for the most part. I just don't care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bard 11 Posted July 21, 2019 Why review on or off the field? Let the play stand as called, adds to the entertainment. Who really cares how the players act off the field? Humans are . They do bad things. In all walks of life. If my stud Rb avoids a rape charge and gets me 100 yards and 2 td's that week, kudos. This is my entertainment.
