Opinions: reviewable penalty/non-penalty calls

[Jmac]

Terrible officiating. Wouldn't it make sense to add reviewable penalty/non-penalty calls to the game ? Maybe one or two reviews per side per game. Letting the game be decided by terrible and missed calls is unacceptable. Not talking just about just the NFC playoff game, but many games are lost to terrible calls/non-calls.....what you got?

Yeah, 100%. Something has to be done about the state of officiating in the league.

Reviewable penalties, maybe.  Reviewable no calls, no.  Either way Panthers would still get screwed, thats just our black cat fate.

Better than reviews, just start getting rid of shitty refs.

Can we do it retro-actively and give the Saints about 90 yards worth of penalties in the January 2010 NFC Championship Game that weren't called?

Or do they get the NFL Katrina Card again?

You should be able to review any aspect of any play. You think a penalty was bad? Challengeable. Think they missed a call? Challengeable.

Saints forum sleuths already on the case and have pinpointed that the refs that missed the blatant PI are California residents. Good Lord.

I think there should be a way to challenge penalties, but I'm not sure where we draw the line. Interference? Sure. Holding? They could call that almost every play.

I definitely think cameras on the first down markers for every game and there should be chips inside the footballs to determine where the ball is in the field of play.

Don't make them reviewable. It's part of the game to have human error reffing and it generally all evens out. Would only slow the game down more and frankly wouldn't solve anything, there'd still be a ton of controversial stuff on review...

[Pimpdaddy]

it was bad all around but it was a wash...refs missed that face mask on the taints that kept the rams from a TD...not a fan of penalty review...

[4Corners]

NFL will never allow it. They still have to be able to use penalties to influences and manipulate games.

if you want reviewable penalties then why not just go all in and get the refs off the field and in a box with multiple camera angles to make calls in real time. the league certainly has the resources for it.

Box review every play, Imagine the potential commercial profits

This is probably the first thing you have ever said that was not complete horseshit.

The game would last all day.

I bet if you review penalties on every play,.. there are penalties on every play,. A lot of no calls would be called, a lot of calls might come back.

it would make for a 5 hour game though so they won’t— it would be slower than baseball,...
