[QUOTE="jaybadger82, post: 479665, member: 6211"] Well, you're sort of missing the point that some of these calls are just fundamentally judgmental in nature. One official might see pass interference where another sees no reason to toss the flag. Even with replay, think about the number of times you hear announcers split on such a call during television broadcasts. The standard for some penalties like pass interference is remarkably subjective and there's rarely going to be a consensus opinion about whether such calls were correct. The use of replay doesn't change that- it only disrupts the game, probably more so than the occasional "mistaken" calls themselves. It just strikes me that the predilection with minimizing "mistakes" on these sort of judgment calls overlooks that the number of indisputable mistakes is rather small to begin with. In addition, most such mistakes are NOT outcome determinative; more review means more frequent disruptions to the game; and officiating errors generally affect all teams equally over the course of the season. Just seems like the scope of problem is being exaggerated and the proposed solutions create as many, if not more, problems (not to mention a diminished product for spectators). I'm all for tweaking the way officials call pass interference on the field but I think the use of replay to second-guess these sort of judgment calls represents a real stumble down the rabbit hole that detracts from the quality of the NFL's product overall.
