is part of the game, bumping receivers is part of the game. Now teams will plan around creating contact for big gains whenever they are trailing by x points in the second half.

From what I’ve read coaches still can’t challenge in last 2 minutes...but then are teams going to be burning timeouts late in games in hopes some ref in a booth/New York parses through replays to find contract down field or a hold on plays?

As they say, holding can be called on pretty much every single play.

This is going to be ridiculous. More timeouts, more people screaming about inconsistencies on contact/handfighting—he touched him first...see there! Right there! They didn’t call it last time??? Now they are???

This change is going to make people fans, coaches, players completely crazy.

of a knee jerk reaction to a missed call in a very important game. Coaches will routinely challenge long touchdowns for any infraction (holding, PI, lining up wrong,etc.) even if it has little or nothing to do with the play's result. As you say, there is a huge difference between what's being called a foul throughout the game and what a strict interpretation of the rule book says.
