[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 638849, member: 10441"] I don't think replay helps the game in the end. We have as much or more controversy than before, it's still a judgement call, just slowed down to tenths or hundredths of real time speed. The calls still haven't added clarity to the game and expanding it won't either. I'd be ok with scrapping it all, or leaving it, but please no more expansion of it's use. I look at it this way, refs are going to call what they call anyway. From game to game and play to play, there is so much that seems so obvious that does or doesn't get called and i'm ok with those calls evening out, as they do, over the course of a game or season for the most part. I think replay is degrading the overall officiating in the game, because they don't have to be as sharp. Over time, they become to rely on replay. They aren't there yet, but I'd rather the field have guys with sharp quick eyes and the guts to make the calls, than a bunch of guys making calls with the thought of replay to help them get it correct in the end. The good and bad will sort themselves out and the game will be better for it. And just think of all the commercials we could cut from the game. Which of course is a reason I think we will see it expanded. the league can sell more ads or fill our heads with more needless analysis with the extra time. I'm not looking forward to it. [/QUOTE]
