The PI review is no more

I didn’t see it posted anywhere else but if it is please feel free to remove this or merge. After one season of reviewing and challenging pass interference calls, the NFL has decided to end that experiment. Honestly I don’t think that should come as a surprise to anyone as it was a colossal failure and should have never come about in the first place.

The XFL booth guy that reviews plays in real-time is the better move. It gets it right, quickly and with support from a home office look-in. 

I hope the NFL brings this over the way they did with the skycams from the old XFL... what a difference that made in viewing games on TV.

seemed like the refs boycotted this rule

That's exactly what happened.  And they are getting the reaction they wanted.  They went so far in protesting the rule that fans are just like "well that was a waste of time."  

As a side note: The Packers, one of the most favored franchises, were (not surprisingly) one of the only teams that actually benefitted from the rule change.

    • We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.
    • This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together. 
    • Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
