I feel this should have been put in place long ago, but do you think this news will keep us from yelling at the TV less often?

I know this will be a blow to the refs' egos, but the fact is that they shouldn't have as much of an impact on the result of the game as they do. We have the technology to lessen the impact of their bad calls so why not use it?

I’ve considered this but never really came down solidly on one side or the other.

How far will it go? Every play? Only certain calls? Will it make the refs on the field more lazy?

When I think about Goff getting hit in the head and not getting a call, I’d like to see that changed.

When I think about a play in NO in the playoffs????

Maybe I'm misreading it but I don't think this refers to penalties. Called or not called.

It does sound like replays only. Hopefully they are allowed to chime in on penalties called or not called.

It won’t help because it won’t be like they’ll call down to the field and say, “ you missed Aaron Donald being held, again.

Was it ever disclosed that the officials in New York were doing this in some games last year?

I saw more flags picked up last year after huddles by officials... I was convinced they were getting whispered in the ear by replay officials in New York, to pick up flags or change close calls.

I thought I saw this several times last season.

Honestly I'm not sure. Would have to dig around for info like that. If they do and there's no info on it, wonder if they don't share that info to spare the refs egos.

Sounds like VAR in European soccer which is wildly inconsistent, it will all depend on the people doing it.

The more eyes that look at it the better. Their goal should always be to make the correct call and spot the ball correctly.
