Per , NFL may have votes to make personal fouls eligible for instant replay in 2015. About damn time

 

 

 

Sorry if this was posted elsewhere but this warrants it's own thread. I have zero desire to see games going to 4 hours but since the Refs can't figure out WTH a personal foul is, can't blame them for making this reviewable. Both the Packers and Bears got some phantom bullshi* calls yesterday. Those can and have changed outcomes of the games.

 

Sadly, I think PI is next.

By personal fouls, I'm assuming they mean hits to the head/neck area, defenseless receivers, blows to QBs head, and so forth.

Review for PI is long overdue, as is a re-education of what an "uncatchable" ball is, as well as a receiver pushing off.

 

It may be coming to where all  penalties will be subject to review. I don't know how these phantom calls can be overcome otherwise.

GL - You will just have to reprogram your NFL friendly wife with the new NFL longer game software download.  Goodell says the $140 price tag is affordable.  And you will need the bigger NFL cooler to hold enough treats & beverages for those longer games.  There is a longer list of items the NFL would want you to upgrade with, but these are the main two. 

I'd like to see a NFL game spread out over the entire weekend.  Kickoff Saturday morning.... commercials for a few hours, run a few plays.... more commercials, etc.  The game would end on Sunday night where we would then watch all the highlights coupled with more commercials.  

 

I think we need to add commercials and advertisements to X4 too just to get us primed for the games.  

I still think that the coach should be able to challenge everything that happens on the field, including penalties. Refs are only human and they make mistakes, but simple human error should not be the reason a team wins or loses or even just the reason a TD gets called back. Opponents say it will slow down the game, but coaches have a lot of freedom to challenge things now and they rarely do it because they're waiting to use them on a critical moment...that won't change. And really if they're stupid enough to challenge something easy then they deserve to lose a timeout. Like I said though, a phantom PI or a PF should not decide a game.
