Shouldn't plays that could have been TDs but weren't called TDs on the field be automatically reviewed?

I'm thinking of examples like seeing if a RB trying to score from the 1-yard-line actually scored, or if a catch in the end zone that was called incomplete was actually a catch, or if the ball crossed the plain like Jordan Matthews did Monday night.

It would suck if a team lost a game if a referee called an actual TD pass an incomplete pass late in the 4th quarter (before the 2-minute warning), and the team lost because they didn't have any reviews or time outs left and the play can't be automatically reviewed.

No, because it isn't a scoring play. You serious with this?

All plays should be reviewable.

The booth can still review the play and most likely would if it's close.

From what I've seen, if it's questionable refs will call it a TD just to review it.

Would you like to watch your team lose a game because the referees fricked up and you can't review it on a technicality?

In 2005, the Saints were driving for a game-winning TD when threw a pick-six in a game against the Rams at the 2-minute warning that put the game out of reach. The ball clearly hit the ground and the Saints had a review left. But they were not allowed to review the play because they didn't have any timeouts left. That's the closest example I can come up.

Now in today's NFL, that would have been automatically reviewed because it was a turnover. What if it really was a game-winning pick six but the ref obviously blew the call and called it incomplete? Tough shite? Because you don't like waiting for reviews?

Unless you're absolutely sure a player is out of bounds, you should call it a TD. NFL football is already such a game of inches, so I appreciate taking the extra time to get it right.

The Jordan Matthews play is a great example. With the way the Eagles like to get gimmicky, I wouldn't have been surprised to see them lose a few yards on the next play considering they were running a no-huddle offense. I'd like them to call the TD and review it to get it right.

PFT had an article about the Seahawks-Rams ref getting a tip from the replay assistant that the ball never hit the ground on the onside kick last week and he picked the flag back up

Basically what happened was totally against the rules, but WHYYYY. If you get the call right, you should have every opportunity and ability to do it.

Reviews are getting out of control.

I have seen that too, but then that's a slippery slope because what if it's probably not a TD but there is no angle that provides indisputable evidence that it really isn't?

The point is that it would have been a TD if the call was wrong and it was reviewable.

Perhaps that will be the change we need to get goal line technology into the NFL.

It is a shame that the "pylon" camera on MNF is considered a huge technological advance in football in 2015.

On that note, can the pylon camera be used for the replay booth?

I think they said during one of the preseason games that it could NOT be used for replay.

Then coach can throw a red flag. But yea, let's slow the game down some more.

I know what you mean, but there is far more bitching about incorrect calls than there is about the length of the game. I don't believe an extra review or two would really be a major issue.
