[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 648750, member: 10441"] I think it was the Pats and KC, should have been a TD because he had not touched out of bounds, the ball crossed the plane, and a body part hit the pylon with the ball breaking the plane. TD, yet they didn't call it that, even after review. and yes they do even out. and if you don't hold the view that replay generally degrades officiating you probably won't see things from my angle. But I do, i feel that way, and I think we're just beginning to see it affected. Give it another 5 years. I don't mind the human element in officiating and I don't think replay has made the games better or helped the flow or made them more enjoyable. I think it has created controversy and driven more fans to talk about the game more and allows for more ads to be sold, and that is good for the league. But I think this rabbit hole of relying on technology to officiate a human sport is a hole we should get out of. Because there will always be controversy, there will always be something missed, there will always be something that could have been called differently and could have had an impact on the game. Once we start with more technology, the answer is going to be more technology and it will never, ever be right. Even playing madden gets people in a frenzy about how a computer plays you in a game and it's a computer. I don't think replay is absolutely horrible at this point, but every year the calls to expand it get louder and it will and then a few years after that they'll want it expanded, and they will and they'l want RFD transmitters in the football and the goal line and then they'll have to stitch together angles to see if it broke before he was down and on and on. I expect the types of plays to be reviewed get expanded as well. My only hope is that I see a retraction of it all before I die or at least a good majority of what I think this beast is going to grow into. I remember watching games 20-30 years ago, they were probably more enjoyable. They weren't without controversy, just as today's game isn't. about the only difference I see today is refs that influence a game very strongly at times all while trying not to influence games at times.
