RE: NFL Challenge/Review

The college system seems a bit more fair, where a replay official in the booth decides. I think it is faster and more efficient. That being said, they miss a lot, too. There should be both ongoing challenge and independent booth review to ensure. It would help if there were a few more camera angles, like permanent sideline and endzone line(s) set ups for those kind of calls. I'd like Pass Interference to be a reviewable call -seems like there's way too much judgment without perfect lines of sight in that area. Saints seem to get burned a lot on PI.


I'd also like to see the "illegal motion" rule redefined. Asking 6 half ton, anxiety stressed sumo wrestlers to stay perfectly still is rediculous. As long as their feet don't change position, they should be allowed to do what they want. The ball's on the ground and perfectly visible for the defense to see. The game should speed up. Otherwise, just call the play dead and not push the team back because the penalty is too severe for the infraction.
