The fact that the NFL still uses two old men with a fricking chain to decide their first downs tells you all you need to know about the league. That's such an inexact science for something so important. Short by an inch? Well, you know, maybe he actually made it but the chain guy was off.


Exactly. It isn't in their best interest to automate/remove the human element from the game. Seeing the dude stretch the chains on a close spot on fourth and short is suspense that can't be replaced.


If they cared about getting every call 100% correct there would be several big changes
