    Theres only one ref in the middle of the field (behind the defense) really anyway that would impact plays. Anything that reduces the whining is worth it.

The real penalty callers wouldn't be on the field. "Upstairs" perhaps. They would use all 22 technology. Multiple cameras. Theoretically you could have a camera ref for every player on the field.  When something illegal is done, dude pushes a button. Sub buttons would signify what kind of penalty it is, and how many yards. You can't tell me that, that kind of technology couldn't be administered.  Now excuse me while I watch re runs of the Jetsons instead of tonight's game.

    Would rather see one coaches challenge per game only used to challenge a non penalty call or a penalty call. Not an extra CC, but one that can be used only for penalty calls. And not if correct, get another one for the rest of the game. One shot deal.

    I think a rainbow flag needs to be in there somewhere, this is the Politically Correct NFL, RIGHT? Maybe it can be used to nullify the flag they threw and picked up for some strange reason. an_popcorn

    Interesting. I’m still waiting for a change in the red challenge flag. Like the challenge, just not the resemblance of a sock getting pulled out of pocket!an_clappeaceclover

    If the announcers would say where the flag is thrown we could figure out 99% of the penalties. Instead of just saying "there is a flag"....say "there is a flag in the backfield"..."there is a flag at the line of scrimmage"....etc.....Drives me nuts when they just say, "there is a flag"....

     Terrible idea, just another thing for the refs to fuck up...can picture them saying they threw the wrong colored flag

    This actually makes too much sense. This would be too good for the league. But unfortunately (even though you’d like to not believe) having actual consequences immediately would go against what the nfl/ bookmakers want. When the flag is thrown, even the commentators think they have a handle on it, but there is time to adjust. Every now and then it’s picked up or changed, which sway the game one way or another.

    but for you mr vanzack, your system has a handle above what most of us degenerates can understand. The reality of the way the game will be played out through these calls, one way or another.

    thank you sir! an_cheers
