If the NFL sees enough of this play (I have now seen 1) that significantly alter the game, they will change it. The old "down by contact" ruling when the ball came loose prior to being down is a perfect example. They realized the number of plays were becoming significant, and the scope of the play was equally significant. So they fixed it. Until they satisfy you on this, just deal with it. |

Here we are again. Seems to me all of your posts, your supposed logic that we cannot disagree with (yet do), hinge on things that YOU think SHOULD be. You don't seem to understand that the people who have made and will continue to make decisions on regarding what SHOULD BE are far more invested in this game - in the success of the league, in the safety of the players, in the entertainment value of the product on the screen. ALL of these factors come into play regarding replay ... not just one. I'm continually flabbergasted how you seem to think your opinion about what SHOULD BE is the only possible opinion, even in the face of numerous posters telling you they believe differently, and in the face of the fact that those in charge of this league believe differently. The enormity of that arrogance stuns me.

Again, you are arguing with officials who did not make the rule and who have no say in the matter. Send an e-mail to Roger Goodell. |

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. |

a) argue over issues none of us have ANY control or input over. b) Give two $#!tZ about it. c) Keep chasing our tail. We are all pretty much happy discussing HS and NCAA rules, which is what we do dabble in. The occasional NFL discussion pops up, gets discussed, and shuts down pretty quickly because none (I guess) of us are involved enough with the NFL to know much about it. Sure, we officiate at the level we have reached. That may give us a leg up on the Joe ESPNMessageBoard Guy but doesn't equate us to Ed Hochuli or Mike Pereira either. Might I suggest the following might be more to your liking: INSIDE THE STRIPES Football Zebras | Analysis and commentary of the NFL's officials and the calls they make Home | Behind the Football Stripes (Be careful here, BECKY10 has a thing for #85) |

Your presentation and the tone in the overwhelming majority of your posts here quite frankly sucks. I don't know if anyone here cares either way or would be up in arms if this type of play was reviewable in the future. You would get more people to be amicable to your posts and wanting to discuss the actual merits of your ideas if every other post you had wasn't something derogatory or somehow implying we're stupid for not agreeing with your "logic" or "reasoning" (and you may not even intend to come across this way). Half of your post/threads seem disingenuous . You ask a question wanting to know why something is...but in your later posts, it's apparent you've already made up your mind ahead of time and that your reasoning is solid, the rest is stupid...no matter how many people agree or disagree. There's no problem with you asking NFL related questions. You'll get an answer in some form. But you would help yourself if you'd adjust the tone of your posts.

What if every football official agreed with your "logic", then what? How is this helping any of them become better officials? How is it helping improve your understanding of football officiating? You already have an opinion, and you've stated pretty clearly it is not going to change.

Next year, they make this a reviewable play.

If I were coming on here to post like some idiot "fanboy" as you suggest, wouldn't I have tried to make it about the officials on the field, and not a flaw in the NFL's replay system that prevented the officials from getting it right in the end? |
