What I’ve never understood about the NFL. We have the greatest, most popular, most lucrative game in the country. So let’s make a bunch of changes to it every single year.

Ok

It’s a feature and part of game manipulation.

Absolutely. One of the few sports where any play can be naturally manipulated after the fact. It can potentially happen so often in any given game that we as fans have been conditioned to generally accept it.

100% yes. It’s the biggest problem. They’ve gotten so granular on things like “what is a catch” that it’s borderline impossible to know wtf is going on.
I tend to agree, however there is a reason we have gotten to this point and its because fans and coaches are the ones wanting clarity and a more black and white approach over the years

I sat we modify replay

Get rid of it for football plays

But have a replay of refs decisions by a panel at HQ live. If they determine ref made a major error they have replacement refs at game and sideline him. During week he takes some remedial classes to recert for games.

If they see minor misses then after 3 of those he is replaced and same thing, remedial ti recert.

This all takes place privately but once a ref is replaced its announced so everyone knows. Would do that at next game stoppage.

There are many ways they can fix the product but current way allows some manipulation so why change it. You will never hear when they catch a ref betting because it would destroy their product. They will come down with “life changes” where they can’t ref ever again.
