[QUOTE="Reverend Conehead, post: 356006, member: 4080"] Gotta respectfully disagree. I think most refs do a great job under the conditions they work, but none of them will ever be able to call a perfect game. The technology exists to help improve their accuracy. And the refs want the game to be called as accurately as possible. Despite the claims of some fans, there's no conspiracy by refs to deliberately screw any teams over or to make certain that specific teams win. The current replay system has improved the accuracy. It's a start. By making most penalties reviewable, that will improve the accuracy even more. We can prevent it from making games long and drawn out by keeping the challenge system in place. It's two challenges per half, plus a third if a coach gets two right. Then in the final two minutes of the first half or the game, it's all booth challenges. That system seems to work pretty well. Making penalties challengeable is a tweaking that can help. I remember how frustrating it was before there was any replay system. Some calls that were clearly wrong could determine the outcome of a game and there was nothing anyone, refs included, could do about it. As it stands that situation can still happen if the bad call is a penalty. It seems to only make sense to modify a system that basically works to include that. Imagine if that bogus facemask penalty had cost the Packers the game. Packer fans would be pipin' hot mad, and rightfully so. [/QUOTE]
