Opinions: reviewable penalty/non-penalty calls


Jmac

Recommended Posts

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?

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...

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,...

    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
