That is how football was played until about 2005.

YOLOsubmarine posted:Sure, if coaches want to burn their challenges that way. Require them to state what specifically they’re challenging, I.e “the left tackle was holding” and, much like with the current challenges rules, require a higher burden to change the call. The problem is that most blocks by O linemen looks like holding in replay. YOLOsubmarine posted:I say legalize holding for everything short of bear hugs or tackling the dude but in return let DBs have significantly more contact with receivers downfield. This all came up because someone suggested that everything be reviewable. That's a bad idea anyways, it's not necessary. I do like the idea of a "constant" review in New York or whatever who will then call down to the field and trigger a review... much like they already do in the final 2 minutes of the game. Right now they don't concern themselves with penalties, but it seems like they could.

Legalize everything that's not headhunting/kneecapping and let the chips fall where they may, the refs can't enforce 3/4 of the rules anyway so let's stop pretending they can. Holding and DPI enforcement are borderline farcical at times. OL holding and pick plays are legal in return for legalizing DPI that's not bear hugs and suplexes. Who cares if the little guys slap fight and "block" each other on pass plays?

People forget about whataboutism as soon as it's their team. What about all the other teams that told players to go for the head? What about all the other teams that've had their season ended by a ref's bad call? I mean, no, we Saints fans are experiencing the one true and only bad moment of sports fandom

I mean if we are getting mulligans, I would like to file a suit against Goodell and the 49ers for the Bowman hold on Roddy in the 2012 NFCCG. And again for the entire 4th quarter of SB51.

I mean how hard would it be to have a crew in a booth watching every play and communicating down to the field refs for egregious misses? There will always be missed calls, I think we all accept that, I think the problem is getting big calls wrong. Doesn't the NHL do this? Shouldn't add too much time to the game.

To me this seems enormously practical. It's something they already do for many types of calls, making it even more simple to implement. The idea would be to redress truly AWFUL calls like that one. Not to examine slow motion footage for the tiniest hint of a foul.

Any penalty based on a judgement call should be decided on full speed replays and not slow motion. I think this would get rid of really tacky incidental "penalties" getting challenged.

Finger Prince posted:I'm pretty sure Rugby does something like this, at least at the international level. Also after a big miss we are already waiting anyway because the coach has to chew out the refs, after the refs huddle for a minute to get their story straight, explaining everything, etc. There is already a delay due to drama, may as well use a fraction of that time to get the call right.

Shouldn't add too much time to the game. i think it's pretty much every other sport that has a ref HQ where they will handle replays or walk the refs through the rulebook and camera angles. and i think it's pretty much just college football that allows that hq to stop play to review something. the nba lets refs review things on their own which suprisingly happens more often than you'd think it would.

New Proposal: Saints get their replayed game, but first they have to replay the Steelers for this bullshit PI call and if they lose the entire NFC playoffs are redone with them in 3rd seed position.
