Why have replay if you can't use your brain and common sense? On no planet did Davante Adam's catch that ball on the drive to tie the game. Both arms are on the side of the ball and the ball is laying on the ground. Does he have a 3rd arm under the ball? That ball was 100% laying on the ground.
Like I said earlier you could see the stitched part or stripe of the football move while on the ground. They just showed it again on NFLN. f**k those refs hope they enjoy that envelope of cash they got for that game.
They also missed a holding penalty by the Raiders on that 76 yard TD pass play. They flagged the Niners for defensive holding but missed an obvious hold in the backfield by the Raiders that they showed on replay. That play should have been called back with offsetting penalties.
My comment on replays is we have more than ever. The games are constantly stopped to review everything from catches, to TDs, to targeting. All they do is make the games longer. They still don't always get the cals right. If it takes 2,3,5 minutes to review a play then it can't be overturned. Period. That was part of the original intent when they started doing this. If you need to look at a play from 6 different angles and run it in super slow motion then it should just stand as called. If thye show a replay on the big screen and it's an obvious blown call then overturn it. Football wasn't meant to be played with a micrometer.
Replay shouldn't be used to try and make an imperfect game perfect.
Still waiting for 1 penalty a game to be reviewable.
It works in basketball. It's time.
Yup. It works in hockey as well. Seen many goals taken off the board due to offside penalties that were initially missed.
Whatever they do they need to review the review process because it's taking away from the flow of the game. I've seen way too many reviews that are obvious on the first view and on the scoreboard and they still take 2-3 minutes to make a decision. It's bad enough for fans at home but at least we can change the channel while they're screwing around. Fans at the game are stuck sitting there. You get 5-7 reviews per game and that's an extra 15-20 minutes they are adding. The advertisers love it though.
I mean, I hate the game breaks... but I'd rather have them review things and get it right.
But it does strike me as odd that it can take so much time to review a play. Most plays, I can watch it and determine instantly whether it should be reversed or not.
And I'm not saying that to toot my own horn, but more to point out that Instant Reply is to overturn clear and OBVIOUS mistakes. If it's not indisputable, you go with whatever was the call on the field.
There are only 17 games in a season - get the call right. imo
