Thanks!!
Thanks for the props....I LOVE the passion, sounds like your fmaily was thrilled watchin that crap too!! Don't forget the ball bouncing off the dude's leg on the punt that we got screwed on too... I mean it's unbelievable. Oh it's the Lions today?? Let's see what new way we can screw them on some calls, we need to use some of these rules that we haven't used in forever for practice.... & like you, i'm sure the minute that call went that way, we all said lock it up, Lions are losing by a field goal now so you can turn it off. AND like true Lions logic, they will prob now run the table taking us fans all the way up to the end of the year for a possible wild card spot (cause everyone else will lose keeping us alive) only to have whatever team has our fate in their hands win by some bad penalty call thus mathmatically eliminating us on the last day of the year (that game prob goes to overtime too to drag it out even further). Hmmmm, I feel better now..... nice ranting w/ you, lol!!
And I've NEVER been a fan of all the rules about when you can throw a flag/challenge/review/not review ...
To me, make it simple. Give every team two challenges per half. Don't even link them to timeouts any more.
A team can challenge ANY play, ANY time (obviously unless the next play has already begun), for ANY reason.
Bad (or not) holding call that makes it fourth and goal from the 11 (or 16?) instead of fourth and goal from the 1?
Challenge it!
Just throw the red flag, have the refs stop the damn clock and review it.
Hey refs — If you were right, so be it. If you were wrong, fix it.
You get two challenges per half. That's it. So you might not want to burn them.
Opponents of this idea will say "the games are long enough already."
EXACTLY. Six more minutes per half (each team ... two challenges ... max of 90 seconds apiece) is not going to matter.
Especially if your team DOES NOT GET SCREWED because of it.
You will gladly give up 12 more minutes of your day to make sure your team won or at least lost fair and square.
