IMO, a rule change that would ultimately make the game 100x better and not hurt anything and no Fan, Player or Owner would have the slightest problem with......

the ability to use a Coaches challenge on a penalty

if a referee throws a flag and it is a huge swing in the game (ie. the Shockey play)

i think the Coach should have the ability to go back and look if it would actually be called and if the flag needed to be picked up..

i seriously think this would ONLY benefit and not hurt the game..

Opinions??

i agree. i dont think they would have overturned that call though. the dude was falling over regardless if shockey touched him or not but the refs woulda spewed that "indisputable evidence" stuff. its kinda stupid that you can challenge a refs call, then a ref goes and decides if he was right or not.

you can already challenge <= 11 men on the field and GAIN a penalty call in your favor. why not open it up for any call?

its a nice idea..but it wouldn't happen because you would then have coaches asking for reviews of holding penalties, etc. Holding happens on almost every play and every group of refs allow more things than others...it might be too difficult to do.

That was a $hitty call on shockey...i just don't think there is anything that can really be done unless the other refs were to negate his call immediatly after the play.

If the penalty results in a TD called back or for the D it results in a 1st down with less then 2 mins left then it should be reviewable. Or to make it simplier any penalty in the last 2 mins can be reviewed as well as TD reversing penalties. Don't hold your breathe however these penalties are a way refs can control the outcome of a game.

You can't review penalties. Unlike yardage and replaying catches, refs don't throw the flag unless they actually see a foul. No ref is going to over rule a judgement call another ref on their team made. Even the play against Shockey would be upheld because the ref threw the flag and Shockey did actually make contact. Even if it shouldn't have been a flag, it would not get changed in any type of replay system.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
