    Default Additional Officials Needed

    I wonder if we don't need a couple more zebras on the field for games.

    Replay is nice and works the way it is, but with so many missed calls, I wonder if adding a couple of officials would make the game better.

    I wonder is adding another back judge would be helpful for pass interference calls.

    I also wonder how an additional referee, perhaps and assistant referee would help in protecting the quarterback from late hits.

    Your thoughts?



    Are you man enough? Eric Berry? Apparently Not!

    I agree that the NFL should make it where pass interference calls can be reviewed. How you keep it in check is by making it where it can only be reviewed inside of 2 minutes.

    Yeah, we need a couple more officials to make sure calls are legit on the NFL's latest onslaught on defences..Helmet to helmet hits. Another type of penalty that the refs will have to interpret...We are doomed

    I'm with you on that ..Spot On!! For the first three quarters a team can overcome a PI...Late in the fourth is a different story..It should be automatic given the stakes that a PI effectively wins the game...The refs have too much power to decide a game on a call that at times is very questionable..No team should have to play their butts off for 58 minutes just to have a part time attorney dressed in a zebra uniform make a bogus call that end your game

    That'd be good

    My thoughts, exactly.

    And I agree with this idea too.

    PI calls are far to big of a part of the game to leave out of the replay business.

    But I hate the cost of defensive PI.

    I would likely approve more, if they were to do away with the horrible "Automatic First Down" part of it.

    If they gained yardage to the spot of the foul, and didn't lose a down, it would seem far more sensible to me.

    If it's fourth and thirty, and you throw a shorter route with DPI, you should not be able to get a first down for any penalty.

    That, and that horrible TD catch rule, where they want the reciever to raise the football as his own for a feww wekks before they call it a TD.

    HATE that one too.

    Make it challengeable. You get two challenges a game, just make it a play that you can review. I dont see how it will make the game any longer. You still only get two challenges a game.

    Could you also challenge non-calls? if not, I see the refs letting everyone get away with bloody murder late in the game instead of having their calls second guessed by replay.

    I think they would have to make PI a more definite rule as opposed to leaving it open to any type of interpretation. There would have to be a definite line between incidental contact and PI. Im not advocating that this happens, Im just sayin'

    why do you think it would make the game longer.

    think about it. NOTHING changes except what calls are challengable. Each team gets two challenges. NOTHING about the amount of game time theoritically spent reviewing plays changes.

    potential 40 and 60 yard GAME CHANGING penalties should be reviewable.
