Pass interference replay won’t work


Recommended Posts

There is legitimately pass interference on almost every play in the NFL to some degree. 

If they make that reviewable, coaches could potentially call it on every play and win. This would slow the game down to a snails pace. It would be like challenging holds at the line of scrimmage.

i just don’t see it working.

While I'll agree with the premise the argument.... I don't think that it will slow things down that much because coaches only have three challenges for the game now....and that is assuming they win both of their previous challenges.

If you make a pass interference reviewable they would just have another option to use those challenges for..I do wonder where where do you draw the line? Is it just pass interference? Will illegal contact be reviewable??  how about offensive holding? We see a ton of blatant holds that never get called so why should those not be reviewable if you're going to review pass interference?

And will that really change anything? I mean look back to the very first game of the season and the sliding catch Julio made... Review didn't help that.... They still got the call wrong.

I really hope they don’t put in instant replay for penalties. You can find a penalty on every play if you look hard enough.

Also, what if Peyton had used his three challenges by the time of the infamous no call? Would everybody be screaming that we need more challenges? Where does it end?

Yep... if you looked at just the Saints secondary every game you can probably find two or three pass interference calls that were not called...At least

Fix overtime first. Give both teams a shot in the extra period. The whole game is built around game and play management. It isn’t fair that the coin flip decides who wins the game. Now I know it doesn’t quite matter in this game because Brees made a boner of a throw, but still.

I find it ironic that moron stain fans after years of winning countless games with the saints pass interference special now want their games called fairly and cry foul when they are on the receiving end.

Well let's hope Julio doesn't get tackled NFL blitz style next team when we go to the mardi gras dome.

Maybe Im in the minority but I really think College Football got it right for both Replays and Overtime. Coaches shouldn’t have to strategize over whether the officials did their jobs or not. All questionable plays should be automatically reviewed. No need to review non calls.

Lattimore is good but he's handsy like Revis used to be. I'll bet money they don't put replay in for PI. If they do, then certain standout CBs won't stand out.

They talked about this on all of the network news broadcasts this evening. Didn't mention Bowman's play on Roddy once in 2012.

In another thread I proposed a single call/no-call challenge flag, it would be non-refundable, as in you don't get it back even if you're right and you can only use it in the 4th quarter. Basically, you get one chance to save your game from a single bad call. that's the only way I can see it enacted without being abused.

Imagine the legion of boom if potential interference calls could be challenged??

And they drink moose piss that they disguise as beer......lets not go down that path!

I'm not advocating for PI challenges. I'm just saying that they have them. We'd probably have been in the Super Bowl 2012 had they been able to review it. In this instance I'm glad they can't because it's the Taints. However, it is an option, and it works fairly well up there.

I think one penalty challenge per game is okay. But only if you specify the penalty (like WR #11 was inferred with). 

I just think it’s incredibly dumb to have blatant missed calls (like Julio in Seattle in 2016) and there’s nothing that can be done. It’s obvious to everyone in the stadium, including refs, and we just let it go? 

I hate the Saints, but man the NFL has some weird rules.

As someone who lives in Canada and watches both the CFL and NFL, please so not put challenges in! It slows the game down and takes away from the flow of the game. Every play where a guy even gets touched or breathed on is a flag in the CFL and coaches just throw challenges on anything to maybe get a ref to call something. Sure you may take away those blatant missed calls, but then you'll have weak calls made or refs having to make judgement calls on what is and isn't enough for pi. Basically you open up a can or worms and cheapen the game further in my opinion. 

Maybe 1 challenge a game or something, but not what the CFL does. Makes the CFL even harder to watch. Haha

Yeah I wished they would change OT like college football.
