Subject: NFL Instant Replay rule...
Written By: 80sRocked on 10/12/03 at 09:43 p.m.
Should it be removed again?
I personally HATE it. And not for any personal bias reasons or anything, I just think the refs call should be the final call.
Naturally not everyone is going to agree with a refs call, and not every call is going to be right. But the Replay rule doesn't apply to other sports (expecpt basketball in very extreme situations reagrding the clock mostly), so why should the NFL coaches get to question the refs?

I think the reason they put it into place is because the referees aren't foolproof. The fact that each coach can only challenge twice per game (no exceptions) makes it so this privilege can't be abused (i.e. an infinite number of throws to first base to keep a runner honest ::) )
I don't see too many challenges every week.
What they should do is tell the coaches to stuff it when a challenge is obviously stupid. Heck, if even I could tell it was a fumble, put away the challenge flag and save yourself the timeout :P

I think they should keep instand replay, but the refs should decide if they need see the play again. Coaches abuse the red flag more than they know about.
