Reviewing penalties... - Oakland Raiders Forum | Message Board

This isn't really a question, but a suggestion. I think coaches should be allowed to challenge flags on the field, and they should be reviewed accordingly just like any close play, think about how many calls can be turned around, especially near the endzone...

yeah there are some BS calls that are non-reviewable.......but at the same time the "whistle" is the real official....and Tv dont pick that up....once it is blown it is all MUTE

How about not being able to challenge what you feel was a fumble if the player has been ruled down by contact???!?!!?!?!? That epitomizes the stupidity of the league that feels the need to govern everything to death. How incredibly dumb was it that a penalty was called against the Steelers last night for what was essentially, "not giving D. Sproles a second chance at fielding the punt" before making contact and stripping the ball????!!!!! That was a straight up Raider type call. I was surprised to see them pull that out last night and not save that rule for the next time it happens in a crucial Raider game! College has it right. They've simplified a ref's job and kept common sense in officiating.

how about WAY less "contact" penaltys. football is a "contact" sport is it not? PI is stupid. unless ur taken to the ground or being obviously held, dont call it! every penalty involving tackling qbs should be errased, except obvious late hits.

u know, back in the old days...
