Magox Posted February 26 Posted February 26 For those that want to understand how it would work: Quote But artificial intelligence and new technology could soon make the chain gang obsolete, with an advanced system known as Hawk-Eye aspiring to make the game faster and more accurate by mashing together high-tech software with a lot of cameras. Hawk-Eye uses up to 60 cameras, including those used for broadcasts, to piece together every possible angle on a given football play. That’s useful for referees who use it to scrub through the action frame by frame when they’re making play calls, but Sony and the NFL are now taking it one step further. Using feeds from six cameras with 8K resolution (four times as many pixels as a 4K camera), Hawk-Eye can now pinpoint the ball’s start and finish using artificial intelligence and determine whether it traveled the necessary 10 yards. Every NFL stadium is equipped to use Hawk-Eye for line to gain. Expand https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna188186 1 Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 the "Hawk-Eye" view showed Josh had the 1st down by a clear and obvious amount on forward progress Will this feature come complete with shocking the official when they spot the ball poorly 🤪 2 2 1 1 Quote

LABILLBACKER Posted February 27 Posted February 27 First the OT rule and now this. Adorable how the league realizes they screwed us, so they make a change that would've been helpful up front. I can't remember the last time I saw a chain gang come on the field for a measurement? Baseball will have a long overdue digital strike zone. Just embrace tech and get these spots right. Humans are too flawed. 3 1 Quote
stevestojan Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Would have gotten Josh the first down against KC which only means it will ***** us next season. 1 Quote

17islongenough Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Are the refs still spotting the ball though? 1 Quote
Bferra13 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2025/01/27/hawkeye-nfl-first-down-chiefs-bills/ Sal was talking about this after the AFC Championship. That this just replaces the chain gang and not where the ball is actually spotted. And said this would not have changed the call as this article does as well. I dont know why they won't chip the ball. 4 Quote
