Pass interference and possibly some other severe penalties need to be reviewable.

Are they only allowed to challenge PI against the defense that was called? What about offensive pass interference that wasn't called. That happens a lot.


I think it affects the play; they should be able to challenge no calls on things like face mask. That happens so fast it gets missed and can have an effect on a play. What about the head-mugging on the Eagles WR when McDuffy was later called for a PI? If you're limiting the number of challenges then it shouldn't matter if you add more than the defensive PI review.
Again, you have to limit some things because being able to challenge everything would be over the top because you could challenge holding every single time. Non calls although some are obvious would slow down the game to a crawl.

To be fair, I stated two non-calls. Obviously, holding would be too crazy to challenge. I would settle for a missed face mask on players with the ball.

After waiting a lifetime waiting for the final 20 seconds of the half in the Eagles v Jags game, what's a minute or two for the facemask non-call.

:woozy2:
 
alabama vs georgia yet another example... if you saw that.
Exactly. I saw that. Was watching that game. Full on pass interference not called. If it was called, Alabama at the very least would have had the ball in excellent field goal range, and an opportunity to win with a TD. Instead, they went down in flames. Poor quality calls by refs are just everywhere and it sucks to see.

So, I'm so confused with replay.

I'm watching the Eagles/Jags game.

The Jags are flagged and called for a personal foul facemask, even though replay showed it was absolutely not a facemask.

Just after the replay and the call by the ref, suddenly the ref makes an announcement that replay assist has reveresed the flag, and no foul.

I don't get when this new replay assist kicks in, or doesn't.

And, I will note it was fast. If replay assist can work that quickly, it doesn't seem like it would slow the game much.

I liked the replay assist that overturned a facemask penalty in the Eagles game against the Jags. I have no idea how it works either?

I just think you have to limit some things, agreed, sometimes the non calls are obvious, but then you get to the point you are reviewing everything.
Or maybe if everything is viewable and callable then we get a fairer game without all these uncalled fouls.
If they know they'll get called, [smart] players won't commit those fouls.
I know, there is a judgment line on holding/PI etc.
I'm talking about the obvious ones we all see on TV that the refs don't.

With the game being faster these days, the NFL can surely afford a 9 man referee crew. It puzzles me how a ref is assigned to watch the QB and we see Stafford (or Goff like 3 times in the Saints NFCCG get the facemask yanked with no calls). And maybe refs behind the play should not be allowed to assume interference like the ref did in the broncos game, and the ref with the best view didn't throw a flag or correct the ref behind the players. Otherwise you're inviting "flops" in the NFL.
