All it did was waste teams timeouts because they wouldn't over change bad calls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 There was a grand total of one call overturned on this rule until week like 14 after people and coaches bitched and bitched about it not being enforced properly. This was stupid, they should have just not gone through with it in the first place if they were gonna do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the NFL's plan all along, no doubt. Wasn't it to only get rid of the blatant misses since it's such a judgement call anyways? They were inconsistent with that but they weren't suppose to change every one that could have gone the other way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've head some different number from various articles, but at one point, 32 of 33 coaches challenges for PI were not overturned. Their total success rate was pretty abysmal. From weeks 3-11, coaches challenges were like 2 for 41 (I've seen some slight variations in those numbers, but I have seen that in a few spots). A ton of articles were written about it after week 11 and through week 12, because week 11 had the Ravens / Texans game where Marlon Humphrey straight up mugged hopkins and wasn't called even after review.

RabidPanther89 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Horrible decision by the league. The point was to try to make a fairer game and the refs basically decided to be ignorant and indignant, essentially protesting because they can't stand being called out for cheating teams out the game. They are once again never held accountable. Stupid. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only talking coaching challenges changes it a bit. I was going to say that the Vikings got royally screwed over week 2 if that was true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KManX89 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 It's not like it was being enforced, anyways. It was just there to penalize teams, nothing more, nothing less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidgit Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 So the NFL had one of the most embarassing on field incidents in its history, made a brand new rule to make sure it never happens again, refuses to enforce that rule, then comes out the next year and says we don't need it anyways. Can't wait for another 2019 NFC Championship game scenario and have this blow up in the NFLs face. Will be an entire offseason of stories about how the NFL removed the rule and how stupid they were to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnobili Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 the officiating department sabotaged the rule, and it worked. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every play in a football game matters. And bad calls are part of the game. I never liked how people overreacted to that call. Saints still had a chance to win in OT but blew it on their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
