NoSupe4You Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I think deciding whether the whole ball went over the line would even be harder to judge than if just the tip hits the line. What needs to happen is for the NFL to use technology. If they can make a laser tool for carpenters I would think they could do something similar with the ball and goal line to where something triggers when the ball goes over the line. at least then they would only have to look at replays to see whethere the knee was down before it got over. 1309046[/snapback] Yup, and why they are at it get rid of the chains as well.

I Like Soup Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I would have to think something like this would be possible - doesn't tennis also use some sort of laser system to determine if serves are in or not? 1308878[/snapback] Well, a mass of 22 hugh football dudes may sound the beep before the ball gets anywhere near the goaline. Face it, there will always be a human element to officiating a game and it inherently introduces errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H8tank Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 If they gave Roeth this Mysterery TD, then I can't see how they spot mack Strong not making that 3down conversion. The initial ruling should have been down at the 1, just like was first signaled til levy mindfokked the sideline judge into raising both arms.

Doc Holliday Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Pass plays are out then. 1309151[/snapback] The censors would go from the ground up so if the football went over it went over. So basically you would have to dig a hole under the goal line to not trip the censors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Maybe they could put a plane IN the endzone, and you have to run in and crush it. Like a balsa wood plane. Stomp on it. Alright, I admit it. I'm outta gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, I admit it. I'm outta gas. 1309427[/snapback] I would like as much as anyone to let Humans make the calls. but if you can eliminate error IMO you are improving the game. No matter what refs will still be able to control the tempo of the games with holding and pass interference calls so this would not be the solution to everything. just something that could help the game out. That being said I think the ref's made a good enough call on that Roeth TD. it was IMO as close as a call can be and since it was already called a TD I have no problem with the call other than the ref started to call him down at the 1.

Ursa Majoris Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 put a chip in the ball and a sensor along the goal line.... i think that fifa, the soccer world cup was experimenting in this.... http://sportsfilter.com/comments.cfm/4181 1308810[/snapback] I think that's on hold for the 2006 WC because earlier tests didn't work too good.
