This is going to be wildly controversial.

Way way way more controversial than the botched non-call against the Saints was.

I'm not even sure this will make it through next season.


that assumes no change in player behavior *

to be when reviewing a non-PI call. The college basketball replay rule shows some of the downside of this. Many times in these late game situations you'll see some contact on a loose ball or rebound attempt where the refs will decide to just award the ball to the team that was fouled instead of calling the foul. Then they go to the replay and see that the ball actually last touched the finger tip of the team they awarded the ball to. Of course the replay also shows the foul they let slide but there's nothing they can do about that. Sometimes these subjective plays require a human who is skilled at determining what the fair outcome should be, a rule like this risks losing that.


It will be a sh!tshow of replays. Post game videos of

inconsistencies. I cannot believe they think this is a good idea on judgement calls. He put his hand on his jersey....and there it is...you can see the index finger grasp the jersey...right there...!!!

Oh wait... that was done by the receiver..... a second before the corner brushed the receivers facemask with his forearm.

They don’t realize what they have done.


It will be controversial, but it will survive

Replay is like government entitlement programs: it only expands and it can never be reversed.
