Is the NFL ever going to use logic with its replay rules?

I honestly appreciate the officials perspective and feel you guys here have a much better handle on things than your typical fan you'll see online.

While I may debate certain points here, you at least have to acknowledge that my points are logical. I'm not just debating for the sake of debating.

Four sentences. One is simply false. Two I strongly don't believe. The other is generic, but if applied to this forum, is also false.

So you guys are as stupid as the typical NFL fan on an ESPN comment board?

This play not being reviewable is clearly a problem. It honestly seems as though some of you are disagreeing just to disagree.

There's no reason to not allow a review to take place on a play such as this where the evidence to overturn is so clear. Nobody who's objective would disagree. And I've backed up my opinions with solid reasoning.

Let me ask this, why should penalties be exempt if everything else is fair game?

That would be a substantial change to the current replay system, which isn't what this thread is about. I'm just in favor of having the ability to review this play like any other non-penalty play.

I'm not calling for the significant change that reviewing penalties would be.

Why do you arbitrarily draw a line between the two?

This post is about fixing the current system, not blowing it up.

I wouldn't mind seeing pass interference and defenseless player flags be reviewable if they ever take the step to include penalties.

The question remains.

I answered you. Again.

If the league starts to review penalties, I'd be supportive. It has nothing to do with this thread.

Wanting to review a play that's been arbitrarily excluded isn't comparable to changing the entire replay system to include reviewing fouls.
