The refs fucked up in the Saints game, but if you are going to then put a knee-jerk rule in and then not use it to enforce penalties, then why not get rid of it?
Keep in mind, in week 2, the Giants were called for a DPI after review.
The refs took 10 seconds to look at the interference on Tate (and the hold the preceded it) and stated the no-call stood.
This is a rule that should never have been implemented in the first place, and now that it is in place is not accomplishing anything.
Why not just end the charade now?
Waste of time.
when thr season is over all the anger from new orleans will be gone and they can get rid of it
The guy in New England had Tate’s arms wrapped up before the ball got there. What more do you need?
That was a joke
Get rid of the review.
That was absurd. It was of no real consequence to the game but don't tell me that's not 100% obvious, unequivocal PI.
This breaks trust that officiating is based on clear, objective rules -- and not brokered, backroom understandings.

At a certain point, you just start hoping that Pereira's mic shorts out so you don't have to hear anymore nonsensical excuses.

Pereira basically gave you the guidance. Unless it's very egregious on the order of Rams-Saints they're not going to overturn the call on the field. I'm actually fine with it as long as they're consistent but they probably won't be consistent.
20 years of terrible leadership on rules.
The problem is that I don’t think they care because the revenue is still pouring in.
Was also illegal contact out of his break!!
And they missed t here low hit on DJ at the knees the same play.

There were actually 2 instances on pi on the play. Contact at the top of the route and and arm restrained through the entire catch. Define egregious
I saw when the Giants pointed to Lacosse (I think) when he was lined up in the backfield and blatantly moved before the snap. No call.
I also "liked" the non-call of JackRabbit being tackled 4 yards out of bounds, but no, they'll just call Ogletree for a personal foul.

The problem I have with that is the Giants already have been on the receiving end of a DPI that was called after review. And it was nowhere near the magnitude of the Saints game and it wasn't as blatant as the missed one tonight.
If reviews are going to be arbitrary, then get rid of it

He doesn't work for the NFL. And that guidance promotes the exact non-rules based understanding I mentioned as the worse-case scenario above. The rules need to be enforced as closely to as written as possible. The implementation we just saw and have otherwise seen is not. That is not acceptable. It will cause more and greater issues. End of story.
Do we even need the rule? I think yes, and here is why.....to make sure obvious egregious penalties like the one in the Saints- Rams game doesn’t happen. That is what they are trying to eliminate.so by having that rule, it should solve that problem.
The whole system is choking. Thirty years ago, I remember occasionally being mad at officials calls but that was fairly infrequent. Now the irritation happens almost every series. Referees are having a major impact on each and every game. And it is BORING.
Something that is blatant by any standard should be considered egregious.
The NFL just wants an out if the refs royally fuck up a playoff game. This isn't the way to do it.

This. Before they threw the flag I was thinking great another 15 yards. Then they call Golden after Thuney destroyed Tate two yards OB..

I'd be for that.

What was egregious was all the PIs the Pats got away with. The Pats are pulling a Seahawks and committing PI daring the refs to call it. They did it all night.
But on that play they chose to ignore two penalties, the illegal contact/hold and the PI.
Guarantee that will be a 2020 rule change.
Not to mention the low shot at Jones Ref standing right
there home fucking cooking and the Pats cover...
But we were going to lose anyway so pipe down.
Who do we play next week?
Rant off.
Let the guys play, yes there will be some sneaky penalties by player's, there always is, but if you can't tell in real time then it didn't happen. Plain and simple.
If you don't like that way then you have to get rid of the refs and go full algorithm camera technology and have camera in the sky do the reffing. This current combination of humans and tech just doesn't work.
Kind of like why baseball needs to get rid of umps behind the plate. Tech has replaced their job.
Great job guys.
