If you win three challenges in a game the HC gets to slap the **** out the head referee.

Something definitely needs to be done about the officiating in the league. I have a feeling nothing will be done though because the NFL has begun to use them to shape the outcome of the games in favor of the teams that will benefit the NFL the most by generating the most revenue from a story line the media puts together about these matchups.

Let's see, the offense is on it's own 1 yard line. The QB drops into his own end zone and lets a perfect spiral arc to an open WR at the 50 yard line. The DB is beat and he knows it. He tackles the WR who falls and misses what would have been a sure TD.

The flag flies and they march the penalty off and palce the ball 1st and 10 from your own 16.

Yeah, no screaming will occur here. It lets the defense profit from a penalty. I believe PI in the end zone should be a TD. The defense shouldn't profit from a penalty. PI in the field of play = spot of foul, in the end zone should be a TD!

The Colts also are a "Dome" team or are they? If the roof opens, is it a dome?

Because 5minutes of commercials is more valuable than 2 more challenges.

The entire concept of a challenge is idiotic.
How about they get it right the first time?
but since they don't, I can challenge it, because literally the game, my season, the playoffs, or my career is in the balance
but, it has to be conclusive, and I can't do it more than twice

Put 3 guys in a room with 15 tv's, review anything that's close, and get rid of challenges completely

So if the commissioners job is to do what's best for the game, why doesn't he step down?
