Pass interference replay not expected to be continued.

Mad Mike : 4/6/2020 12:51 pm
At least according to Judy Batista of NFL.com.
Quote:
Competition Committee continues to discuss rules ahead of still-on-schedule meeting at end of May, when votes would take place. PI replay almost certainly will NOT be extended, according to one person familiar with conversations.

I imagine most will welcome its elimination.

about time.
Now that's kinda funny

Was it ever implemented?
Well-intentioned, but didn't work.

They wanted to fix obvious errors. They didn't. So what was the point?

Why should it? This was challenged and LOST....

Just wasn't going to work.

Idk if even putting an eye in the sky referee who can buzz in on totally blown calls would work. They'd have to agree on what calls, etc...

If we know anything it's that officials can make some horrible mistakes, but they seem to hate to be corrected even more.

The NFL seems fine with the Monday morning "oops" list they send out to teams.
the refs never wanted it  
Dankbeerman : 4/6/2020 1:56 pm : link
and almost refused to overturn the calls on the field
This could have worked just fine if:

1. The refs watched the replay in real time.
2. They would just admit when they were wrong and reversed calls (see thread below.)
They didn't want to be like baseball

The whole replay possible overturn has always supposed to be about fixing really obvious blown calls. And then it was implemented in baseball, and it was all of a sudden an out if while tagged you came off the base for a millisecond that would never have been seen by the human eye.

And then football went in the opposite direction. They would not even overturn the most obvious calls.

But baseball got it right. The momentary foot of the base thing is about the only thing that really showed up as marginal and even so, it is the correct call.

Football should have brought the Officials Union into the league office and been read the riot act. Cannot have officials blatantly ignoring calls that should have been overturned when the entirety of fandom saw it. You think Rozelle or Tagliabue would have let what happened last year go on?

Yeah, so best to let it go away if the league office is not going to force the Officials to make the correct calls.

Haha well done
It’s pathetic  
UGADawgs7 : 4/6/2020 6:46 pm : link
It became clear as day that the PI in the NO/ STL game wouldn’t have even been overturned if replay allowed it.
Goodell dropped the ball big time on this. Problem is if refs did overturn some of the calls, would they have to overturn all calls? Example what happens if you overturn that call in NO/ STL game but a Hail Mary occurs where basically there’s always pass interference on that play. Can’t overturn some and not others.
Where Goodell messed up? Very simple not having a pair of balls.
Rule should have been as follows: clear pass interferences must be overturned. If the NFL looks and gets complaints and the call is not overturned, the officials face possible suspension or fines.
Hail Mary plays are not reviewable.

That never happened and it was clear the officials won’t allow themselves to be proven wrong.
Yeah, never understood this one...

Replay and officiating just keep getting worse every year. I feel like they should just get rid of replay. It doesn’t make things better, it slows the game down. It does more harm than good. No one knows what a catch is, or what OPI is or what a touchdown is. Every week there’s a new twist on the same problem - officiating just sucks. Replay, at this point is more part of the problem than part of the solution.
Good

Leg of Theismann : 4/7/2020 2:11 am : link
They should never have come up with the rule. They should have flown the Rams back to New Orleans and replayed the rest of the game with the correct call enforced. I would NEVER advocate this happening in any other instance in history (well, maybe the Seubert play lol, but I'm biased there), but that non-call in the Saints/Rams game was THAT bad that I think that was the only way to make things right.
Wa any this all PR over the NO call anyway?  
adamg : 4/7/2020 2:49 am : link
Figures they wouldn't keep it. It was half assed anyway
The whole rule book needs to be rebooted...  
sb from NYT Forum : 4/7/2020 6:28 am : link
...there are too many rules and the existing refs are too tricky tack and it’s just too subjective. Literally multiple minor violations occur on every play, and depending on who the ref is, a penalty will be called.

The rule book should be turned back to its 1990s form and a new crop of refs should be intensely trained over a period of months about when they should and shouldn’t make a call, and then all the current refs should be fired. They are not only bad, but clueless.

The game is about a year away from being unwatchable if it keeps going the way it’s headed. The product is boring and so subjective that it appears fixed.

They don’t care that they’ve ruined the product. It’s Lorna restaurant that the food keeps Getting shittier and they start adjusting things like the decor. They pushed offense to get non fans into Fantasy Football. Other than the lawsuits for safety every change they’ve made is about how to drag nonfans into the fold.
It's a sense of pride (??)  
Bramton1 : 4/7/2020 4:34 pm : link
that we had one of the few non-calls overturned. The pass interference called on review against us in the Buffalo game. Which wouldn't have even made the top five of egregious non-calls reviewed during Giants' games last season.
