Re: NFL Officiating
I am not sure why the NFL doesn't go to a system more like MLB where when something is challenged they buzz it in to a replay room back in the studio where they have access to every single angle, frame by frame pausing etc etc etc....it is getting awfully annoying when we constantly see the officials on Fox chime in about how the call *should* go, and then the officials in the game basically come to the opposite conclusion.
Right now I think inconsistency is the single biggest issue. Allowing one team to play physical, while penalizing another for virtually playing the same way. It seems like this has been a problem whenever you deal teams who have a reputation for playing stiff defense, they are all of the sudden awarded the right to get away with more grabbing, holding, hitting and when their opponent tries to reciprocate they get flagged up and down the field.
Something that has kind of seemed to have gone away a lot is not throwing the flag for PI when the football is clearly uncatchable. I am seeing flags thrown when the ball is thrown 5 yards past a WR or 10 ft over their head and the contact was very minimal.
