[QUOTE="sschind, post: 818897, member: 10247"] The reason I don't like that idea is that it may not solve the "problem". Its is still possible, in a horribly called game, that a coach is forced to use 5 challenges early and even if he gets them all right he is out of challenges on a horrible call like the Rams hit late in the game. If the goal is to only get certain calls right or a limited number of calls right then limiting the number of challenges is the way to go. If the goal is to get the calls right there should be no limit on the number of challenges. That is why I would be more in favor of severe penalties for incorrect challenges. If faced with losing a down or 10 or 15 yards or having time run off or added (to prevent a coach from making ridiculous challenges on defense late in the game or half.) a coach is going to think twice about throwing the red flag. As a compromise may be getting unlimited challenges until you get 2 wrong then you are done but it still brings up the possibility of not being able to challenge a really terrible call late in the game. Or maybe a way of "buying a challenge. If you go a quarter without using one you get another one. Or you give up 5 or 10 yards but you can still challenge. That way if its 4th and 1 the call is the runner was stopped short, you think he made the first down you challenge, give up 5 yards but if it is ruled he did cross the line to gain its still your ball with a first down. To help keep the game from slowing down too much start a clock when the flag is thrown and a buzzer goes off after 2 minutes if the officials haven't signaled they are ready to make a ruling the play stands. None of this waiting 3 or 4 minutes when its supposed to be 2 to begin with. I would add that judgement call challenges would not be ruled on by officials on the field to lessen the chance of a "I'm sticking by my guy's call/non call" I would also add that I am fine leaving it the way it is. While I do think it could be better [/QUOTE]
