Stop bringing up fouls. I've already said is be okay with including fouls. But that would be a significant change to the replay rules, unlike my suggestion, and really is irrelevant to this thread.

Actually, I think it's quite relevant. You haven't explained why you're ok with one exclusion but not the other: but I'm not going to try to convince you of its relevance any more.

Here's a hypothetical for this play: Say Clark's lateral to Gay had been completed and Gay ran it back for a touchdown. As we know, scoring plays are automatically reviewed by the booth. Would they have gone back and ruled Clark down by contact on a review?

What is there to be learned from this hypothetical?

It depends on whether they ruled the first action as possession in your hypothetical. If they did then they could have determined his knee was down before the ball was pitched. If they didn't rule on the field he had possession (like in the actual play), then that part of it would not be reviewable for the same reasons the actual play was not reviewable.

Every single person I've discussed this with has either said something to the effect of "that's stupid," or said it doesn't make sense. And they're right. A coach isn't going to throw a challenge flag on a loose ball in the middle of a pile. A coach is going to want to challenge the play as it happened here, and that's not a waste of time. I guess we'll see if the competition committee has any sense this offseason. And it's interesting that nobody here's really come up with any kind of rebuttal to my points, other than to try to dismiss me as a Steelers fanboy for making a completely objective argument about NFL replay rules, or others trying to change the subject.

That doesn't mean I don't think they should change it. I actually think they may look at it, but I haven't thought through the ramifications of making that change. I'm sure "they" will, though. I just think it's comical that you think if they fail to follow your logic, they aren't showing any sense. There are lots of rules in various sports that don't make sense to me, but I'm not so arrogant to assume it means those who make those rules are idiots.
