Gourdeau Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 The one I was hoping would get squashed is the kickoff changes or that they'd at least do something to make an onside kick relevant again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 What's worse? Knowing the rule was added for you or knowing had it been in place last year you would have made the SB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 The NFL got a huge black eye last January because of that call. They had to do something. Too much was at stake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Brown Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Awesome. Another band-aid instead of addressing the issues. Next year they will add a rule to review holding after the refs blow that in a big game. Edited March 27, 2019 by Bobby Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I can't wait to watch a 4 1/2 hour game. How about they get rid of the refs all together and ref it from a central location. God knows they have enough cameras to do so. It's so ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplemonster Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Some PI's are so borderline already. The Saints one is obvious and a great use. The way I can see it being used is for any big pass play that looks iffy, which is a lot of them, and we are going to get even more borderline how-does-the-ref-feel-today calls. And the length of the game somewhat too. Kind of amazing they take as long as they do to review when you can usually tell within about 20 seconds what the answer is.

There is more to the review than upheld/overturn, if being overturned it requires they check replay for clock, ball spot, etc. I'd rather they get it right the first time, but appreciate review to deal with the egregious mistakes. Games are getting longer, but I always watch on DVR and can FF right through the extra delays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 This shouldn't lengthen games any more than they were when they allowed coaching challenges in the first place. It's just another challengeable play in addition to possession of the ball. Each side gets the same two challenges as always, and in the final two minutes, now the refs can review it as well. Other than the case of an uncalled PI in the final two minutes, it doesn't really change anything in terms of time of the game. Quote Owners voted, 31-1, to make pass interference reviewable by replay. Both interference calls and non-calls by officials can be reviewed, via a coach’s challenge in the first 28 minutes of each half and by booth review in the final two minutes of each half. The change was ratified on a one-year trial basis and takes effect in the 2019 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's gonna happen in a two minute drill when every play is a passing play and both the CB'S and WRS are screaming for flags? Is is going to be like an NBA game where the last two minutes are an eternity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever in debt to mo lewis Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 https://www.yahoo.com/sports/nfl-competition-committee-says-crucial-013154272.html the game is going to suck if this is true.....if they are going to be making PI calls on plays like that with a game on the line they are going to ruin it...i know im a pats fan and some of you will think im crazy...but if a play like that is getting called and changing a game its going to be awful part of the beauty of the game is that PI is a judgement call...much like a foul in basketball....and refs can sort of let guys get away with more at certain times/points within reason....

If they call that play they can call almost any pass play, just like holding on the offensive line. Totally agree on the judgement call angle being nice - when the calls aren't completely outrageous. I have zero confidence in the NFL to get this right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tford Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 The CFL has had reviewable PI since 2014. I will admit that it hasn't been perfect. You will sometimes see big pass plays get challenged on the off chance that the ref sees PI when there is handfighting down the field or feet getting tangled up. The interruption of the flow of the game can be a little frustrating at times but it's not the 5 hour trainwreck that some of you think it will be. I think that it helps the refs get it right way more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let certain teams get away with more than other teams. It was marginal but clearly the NE defender is holding the WR left arm back as he tries to reach for the ball, before the ball arrives. That is PI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can call pass interference on almost ANY down the field pass. So now the question once again is "what is pass interference and what is not?". This is going to open a whole new can of worms. I think this is only going to complicate things. How about just having better referees? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
