When the ground causes the fumble, the official knows right away and rules it down by contact, that never needs to be reviewed anyway. The location of a guy's knee has no bearing on the likeliness that he will cough up the ball. I hate cop outs.

I agree with that statement. When Im watching a game whenever the opposition makes a productive play I immediately start thinking, challenge it, were his feet in? etc its no way to watch a game as a football fan....I am in favor of replay, the challenges are way too long tho and it slows down a game already infested with commercials. Having a ref in the booth would be perfect. Also I think any play in the final 60 seconds should be reviewable, the Kellen Winslow incident where they reviewed his feet not landing in bounds but clearly saw him getting forced out of bounds comes to mind.
