Isn't one of the main reasons replays can take so long due to fixing the game clock? Between that and how sometimes the game can suddenly stop due to a gently caress up with the game and/or play clock (like that third down do-over the Chiefs had), I think focus should be on making that work better first and foremost, then worry about all the garbage calls that screw over my team.

Maybe instead of blowing a loving whistle to stop play you do something visual like i dunno cut the lights okay maybe not cut the lights but there has to be a better way then blowing a whistle in the loudest stadium in the NFL that tells players to stop

Whenever a team wins a Super Bowl the current team owner must step down and the coach or QB or Super Bowl MVP becomes the new owner.

Being able to drown out the offense' audibles with your screaming is an integral part of the stadium experience though, and I would never want that to go away. So that's out.

You'd think there could be some button system they could easily do. Like have it connected to some lights or something to easily communicate to everyone. Challenges/booth reviews are red Penalties are yellow Timeouts can be blue or something Then you can even see for sure if they pressed their button in time.

my friends during the game were talking about Reid coming up with a rule where he gets first bite of everyone's lunch in the locker room and calls it Prima Nacho and I just remembered because we were all pretty drunk by that point and couldn't stop laughing.

It's weird to me that the Chiefs Bengals game is the subject of all this drama over unofficiating cuz I don't think it was any better or worse than any other postseason NFL game. Genuinely I think a lot of the problems could be fixed by just simply not breaking up ref crews from the regular season. Just award playoff games to whichever crews perform the best on their internal metrics and if the NFL equivalent of Angel Hernandez is mad tell them to pound sand. None of this seems hard or complicated to me.

I mean it was the only really close game of the divisional / championship rounds. oh no the refs stunk in Eagles - 49ers doesn't really carry any weight when the 49ers were down to a QB with a broken arm handing off down 3 scores.

I dunno what even really happened in the Eagles - 49ers that was that bad. There was a lot of penalties but that was because the 49ers kept committing them.

Eagles got away with a drop being ruled a catch, but that's because they got the play off before the refs could check and Shanny didn't challenge. There was the whole wire-punt kerfuffle but if the refs have no substantial evidence to overturn, what can they do. The Brock fumble was easy enough to miss in real-time and did get fixed on review. In retrospect, it wasn't really that bad, just seemed worse than it was since the 49ers got a billion penalties on defense (though again, mostly warranted) and those early miscues kinda flavored things.

The two specific things people have cited most are the botched call on the Smith catch on fourth down — which, to my eye, was a tough call to make and it's really on Shanahan for not throwing the challenge flag more than it's on the refs for not getting the call right — and the Eagles punt that hit the wire and gave the Niners great field position but couldn't be called back for reasons. That second one's annoying more than potentially game-changing, but still. Other than that, yeah, it really was just the Niners totally loving melting down. They had a few calls against them early and everything snowballed.

The Devonta Smith non-catch on the first drive when the 49ers were still healthy was the worst officiating blunder of the weekend. Then there was the punt into the sky cam wire fiasco, but that was mostly just stopping the game for no reason because why would there be a camera pointed at the sky cam wires? They were never gonna find a conclusive angle for that. Perhaps their worst decision was not calling a TKO after Johnson got concussed instead of letting the game carry on for another agonizing 2 hours.

The Devonta non catch is such a tough one to me and exposes another weird idiosyncrasy of the NFL where you can just make it so something that didn't happen actually did happen just by going fast enough. The ref is kinda handcuffed there. From his perspective, it looked like a catch, you only see the ball come out on the other side. Expedited review doesn't really help either because the Eagles just kind of outraced it. It just kinda feels like you shouldn't be able to make a non catch into a catch by just snapping the ball fast enough. Having said that, Shanahan has to know the game situation, see the Eagles body language and know the risk-reward in that scenario, you have the ball at mid field vs. you're about to give up 7 and just throw the drat challenge flag. Holding on to a timeout is not worth it there.

They were never gonna find a conclusive angle for that. They should do like the NHL and have an Emergency Emergency Quarterback in the stands, available to both teams if they run out of QBs. The play clock is extended to 2 minutes so he can diagram the play in the huddle with a stick.

Shanahan is a terrible coach and definitely the worst challenge flag thrower in the nfl right now. He’s good at scheming until he meets anyone close to his level in this regard and gets exposed, and he has ZERO situational awareness. He’s carried by the front office.

That was originally a thing, but it was abandoned because the third QB was functionally useless. He got no practice reps, and if he entered the game, the other QBs weren’t allowed back in. So he couldn’t even spot-fill during an injury evaluation.

Yeah, the Niners D was playing super physical and aggressive once Purdy went out and that became their best chance of winning the game, and the refs eventually started cracking down. Most of the calls were totally justified, and even the borderline ones kinda have to be expected if you're doing stuff like injuring Nick Bosa on the sideline after throwing an Eagle right into him.

Kawalimus posted:That doesn't make any sense. It made more sense back when teams only had 46 active players on game day. You had to pick 7 players from the 53-man roster to be inactive. The exception let one of those players be designated the emergency QB, who could play despite being “inactive”. Not letting the other QBs return to the game was meant to prevent teams from cheesing the exception. They eventually realized this was stupid and just made it so only 6 players had to be inactive. Then they realized it was stupid to pay 6 people not to play, and got rid of game day inactives altogether.
