Replay Assist to Expand to Penalties

[Fountain City Blues]

Fun part is the NFL upheld the play depicted in the headline was the correct call, lol.

Yeah, that was a total fuck-up. I've said all along that they just need to address the PF roughing calls. Instruct the officials to throw the flag if they aren't sure and quickly correct it with the replay assist to pick up the flag if it's a mistake. The big thing is for the league to quit making it so convoluted as to what is and what isn't yada, yada. We can all see it. It doesn't need to be that difficult. Not just the hits on QBs either but all of them. Those 15 yards can be too damaging and punitive when they are wrong.

They should just have a retard proof official. If an official throws a flag that was clearly wrong, the retard proof official could tell him to pick it up right away. It shouldn’t matter what flag, but they routinely seem to blow holding calls that screw over drives. He would literally just be in an office looking at the video of each flag and he can confirm it before the referee announces it.

I agree with you BTW, but what I can see if they start throwing flags with the idea of having replay deal with it.
Is the well it kinda touched the helmet (or pick your scenario) so we will just leave as called on the field. When generally it wouldnt have been flagged. Now if the replay assist has full common sense & say no bitch that doesnt count as a PF, then yes this would work.

Dont let refs get lazy with throwing (or not throwing) the flag & rely on assist.
If they think it is. then throw it. If they dont, then dont. If replay assist radios down, then stop the next play.

They had gotten to the point on turnovers where they just let everything be turnovers & let replay sort it out. Which a lot of times it fell on not clear & decisive so it stood even though everyone knew it wasnt.
Now they gotten better with that by just letting the play play out & then call no fumble or incomplete or whatever. Which I like, but I fear this might be the early on version of the turnover.

Just let replay assist override a call or non call on illegal hits (PFs). Would have the least amount of oopsies!
I mean it is allegedly about safety right?

Yep, let's keep slowing down the game.

Football really wants to make all the mistakes Baseball did 40 years ago, I swear.

Except it doesn't slow the game down. It can be figured out before the offense even huddles up again. Literally 5-10 seconds max. Sorry, but the slowing the game down argument just doesn't fly when we, as TV viewers can see the replay almost instantly and know if it was or wasn't an illegal hit. If it gets overturned and the flag picked up, it takes less time then marching off the penalty does.

I'm good with that too. The key part of your post are those 2 words that we all know seem to be hard to find these days. "Common sense". Lol. Use the technology in the most efficient way. Don't let egos get in the way. And don't convolute the process with a bunch of nonsense ramblings about what can and can't be clear to overturn the call. Before the ref even hits his mic button, New York buzzes his ear and says "pick up the flag, it wasn't a foul." Boom, done and we aren't all sitting out here thinking wtf are these boneheads looking at.
One other thing that they have to remove from the rules is the word "area". The head and neck "area" seems too subjective for me. A defenders helmet hits a shoulder pad and that's the "neck area"? I don't know. I'm probably just rambling at this point.
