The NFL has passed a new rule that it hopes will make instant replay more effective.

League owners voted today to allow the referee to consult with members of the NFL officiating department during replay reviews. The referee will be able to speak with head of officiating Dean Blandino at the command center in New York, who will help in reviewing a play.


quote:

Although the referee technically still has final say, for all intents and purposes this means it will be Blandino making the call: If you’re tasked with making a split-second decision, and you’re on the phone with your boss who tells you which way to go, are you really going to go against him?

Are they going to have a control center in NY like the NHL for review?

NVM- I think that should help. Hopefully they won't slow it down too much.

This has been needed for years. Still don't understand why NY wouldn't just make the call to speed up the process

I suppose there would be so many calls/rules that could require NYs attention/calling during each game. That said, I like this idea. I like how the NHL does their center as well.

How is it, though? Honest question, since I don't know a damn thing about rugby.
