peterpan Posted November 3 Posted November 3 What is “replay assist “??? A few games back, the Jets game, there were a number of calls reversed without review. Including penalties being reversed. wtf is replay assist? I had never heard of it before. and where tf was our replay assist on those two obviously incorrect holding calls? Particularly the second call which negated an amazing TD run by Allen. Seriously what is replay assist and how come it only happens in some games and for some teams?!?!?!! 1 2 3 1 Quote
T.E. Posted November 3 Posted November 3 It is a really sketchy aspect of the game that has zero transparency. I wish they'd do away with it. Made the difference in the Texans playoff game because the league didn't want a blowout. 1 1 Quote

Replay assist doesn’t do holding penalties. They can cover obvious mistakes made without coaches having to do challenges 1 Quote
Chugga Posted November 3 Posted November 3 The “replay assist” is one of the most important things that the NFL has and should be invested in heavily. The problem with replay assist is how they choose to randomly involve it in games makes it come off as INSANELY sketchy. Replay assist should have recalled back those god awful holds. But in week 1 replay should have overturned that god awful roughing the passer where Ingram never even touched Murray. Replay assist should be fixing these game changing mistakes. The problem is it only seems to happen randomly when a team in need of a win has a 50/50 play during a time of momentum. The NFL needs to understand their careless use of it makes the league look awful. 2 2 1 2 Quote
Chugga Posted November 3 Posted November 3 The other part is the simple fact that holding happens on 100% of NFL plays. The refs have it at their discretion on picking what they are going to call and what they will not call. If you are going to throw a flag because you see holding then when the booth goes to replay they should be able to clearly say “yep there it is”. If you can’t do that then you’ve done an awful job as a ref. 1 1 Quote

If the NFL was serious, penalties should be a challengable event. Phantom holding calls, personal foul calls (Rapp today) and other bull#### penalties that ruin games. Two challenges per team and it's all able to be challenged. Quote
Goin Breakdown Posted November 3 Posted November 3 This game was ugly ugly in regard to the Refs. We won, I'm glad, but I'm pissed that that kind of officiating can continue to happen with NFL and Vegas in bed with one another. 2 2 Quote

But we've seen them review illegal men down field which is not normally a reviewable play. Quote

Yobogoya! Posted November 3 Posted November 3 Yeah replay assist is just a sanctioned way for the league to control games however they want, whenever they want. There’s no clear rules for it. Sometimes you see it, sometimes you don’t. There aren’t even any subjective rules they have to adhere to as far as when and how to overrule field officials. It’s a joke. 1 Quote

Essentially if replay sees an obviously wrong call they signal down for them to change it without anyone having to challenge. 1 Quote

It's the ref in the sky that nobody knew of til a few years back when they called back a turnover by Houston against us in our playoff game. Quote

They can't correct subjective calls like penalties...it's objective calls like fumble/not fumble, in bounds/not in bounds, down by contact/ not down by contact, catch/not catch etc... 3 Quote

The way that Goodell doubles down on the quality of refereeing and how easy it is to get a fine if anybody complains about calls to the media, make it’s all look rotten, whether it is or not. Quote

Two challenges per team and it's all able to be challenged. The idea of replay assist is amazing. The application of it is awful. Having someone that can clearly correct awful calls is better for the sport of football (especially as reffing tends to get worse). The problem is these eyes in the sky seemingly only watch one game a week and tend to take lots of pee breaks. I don’t think the answer is “challenge everything” unless you want 5 hour long games 1 Quote
peterpan Posted November 3 Author Posted November 3 Just now, Big Turk said: They can't correct subjective calls like penalties...it's objective calls like fumble/not fumble, in bounds/not in bounds, down by contact/ not down by contact, catch/not catch etc... Let’s be honest here, there was/is nothing subjective about that holding call. It simply didn’t happen. 3 3 1 Quote
