[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1045868, member: 7261"] That is the whole point of using an official in the box, with access to video monitors and different angles of view of a play. That person can "see" it all and pretty quickly. Thanks to technology, the process has been sped up quite a bit from when it first came in to use. The world, including sports, has become focused on getting things right. Sometimes doing so creates just as much controversary as getting it wrong, but at the end of the day, a correct call is hard to argue with. It used to be acceptable to rely on "human error" or bad judgement calls, but I think those days have passed us by and when technology is there to get calls correct, without completely grinding games to a halt, then do it. People that say "the games will last too long if you are rechecking plays in the booth", have somewhat of a valid point. So how do you change that? TV Networks shuffle their commercials into those spots where some extra time is being spent, getting a key call correct. So instead of running commercials between possessions, they keep the game going. No 3-5 minutes of players standing around after a punt or kickoff, waiting for FOX to run all their ads. Remember, those guys were all just standing on the sidelines, so it isn't like the rest is doing them good. Set up criteria as to what constitutes a "key call", that needs a good look. They already look at all scoring plays, turnovers and too close to call first downs. Add personal fouls, plays over 20 yards, completions at the sidelines. etc. Basically, key calls that could have a big impact on the game. [/QUOTE]
