League_Champion Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 The NFL’s bid to get an appeals court to strike down a decision allowing for discovery in a lawsuit over the missed pass interference call in the NFC Championship game last January was denied on Wednesday. According to Matt Seldge of the NOLA.com, the Louisiana 4th Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld the rulingof District Court Judge Nicole Sheppard to allow a lawsuit against the NFL to proceed. The appellate court found no fault in Sheppard’s decision last week granted the plaintiffs the ability to interview league officials – including Commissioner Roger Goodell – and game officials about the infamous no-call that helped the Rams eventually earn their way to the Super Bowl instead of the Saints.

But unfortunately that Saints Rams game makes it difficult to not have it reviewable. Basically that game result changed because somebody missed a call To me that is far more important than anything impacting a fantasy game, even my team and a championship game.

Agreed Steve, good point. My concerns are more about slowing the game and reviewing ever more ticky tacky plays at the end of games and having refs even more involved in outcomes. Slo mo and real speed are different and what looks like a foul in slo mo may not look like one full speed. Fantasy is a concern, but a lesser one.

League_Champion Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I feel like the the last 2:00 of every game is going to take an eternity now, much like the NBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another big advantage of watching games on DVR on a delay, can always skip these long dead spots in the games. Not to mention do something else with my Sunday afternoons (especially before winter starts) then start catching up in the late afternoon.

I personally hate it. I am all for getting a call right but refs are human and human is part of the game on judgements calls. This is going to open a huge can of worms and it is really going to make fantasy football that much more painful for us when we have our catches and TD's taken away on replay pass interference calls.

But we're all going to have to live with holding our breath. Diggs 3 yard TD catch just reviewed and taken away.........as I was saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you're including my response. Was just making the point that it wouldn't be every TD catch or anything really close to that but would occur on some... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
