I really don't care as far as Cowboys butthurt goes, so don't accuse me of that. Take the Cowboys out of the equation if you want

However, that was not subjective, like PI can be. That was a blow to the head. The Vikings deserved another shot at the 2-point conversion. But too many reviews would make the game too long, right?

Right or wrong? But only on penalties like that where you can't touch the QB's head and he hit him on the helmet and facemask.

No just no. I'm already tired of the commercials. That would open a hole can of worms.

It wasn't just a blow to the head, it was a facemask as well. Even if you hate the blow to the head rule it still should have been called.

But oh well

Cows win!!!

Right now, you get 2 challenges, and you get a third one if you win the first two, right?

Why not just give teams 3 challenges no matter what?

ETA: Assuming everything is reviewable

I think coaches should be able to challenge non calls, penalties, just about anything. Give them a certain amount per game and if they lose the challenge, they lose TOs / right to make additional challenges etc.

If you are worried about games dragging on there are plenty of ways to speed up these games starting with the double commercials after every TD

The left tackle moved before the ball snapped....so if penalties are reviewed, the blow to the head is null since it should have been another false start

How subjective are we going to get though because you could review holding, chop block, block in the back, hands to the face, and blow to the head. Any big play you could get a ref to review the play to look for one of those penalties. You might get the "right" call but it would make football much worse to watch.

You get none inside the 2 minute warning. It's a booth decision.

I remember one time like over a decade ago, the Saints lost a game because they couldn't review. It was a pick-six against the Rams with 2:01 left on the clock. The ball obviously touched the ground. The Saints had a review left but they were not allowed to use it because they used all their timeouts to stop the clock before the 2 minute warning. And the funny thing was that if the play was one second later, it would have been automatically reviewed. Those were the days before all turnover plays had to be reviewed.

Just have to draw the line on what can and can't be reviewed on a given play. It's not rocket science

Holding shouldn't be reviewable.

Just do like the CFL. Coaches have 2 challenges and they can use them to review PI, late hits, or blows to the QBs head.

How about a 5 yard delay of game penalty for an incorrect challenge?

I would be OK with it on plays inside of 2 minutes.

I think loss of a timeout is a good enough penalty for a lost challenge. Personally I just don't like the idea of reviewing penalties especially weak ones like touching the qb on the head.

I agree. That would fall under "subjective," IMO, and coaches could literally challenge every play.

OBJECTIVE (Reviewable):

Blow to the head
Facemasks
Deflections (for PI calls)
Delay of game
Ineligible player downfield
Neutral zone infractions
Receiver on/not on the line of scrimmage
Did the on-sides kick go 10 yards

NOT REVIEWABLE (objective, or happens too often)

Pass interference
Non-catchable ball
Block in the back (esp on returns)
Late hits
Running into/roughing the kicker

Refs also missed a false start on the same play.

I guess you missed the no call when Dak got hit in the head BEFORE he threw a complete pass over the middle.

Everywhere I go there are people bitching about how soft football has become and how the game is being ruined by these contact rules. Just look at how people told Cam to quit whining.


Now, I am to believe all these idiots in this thread are wanting to review contact plays for "player safety" and not because of butt hurt this one time.
