43M Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Good news. Regardless of how it affected us, I always hated that "surviving the ground" nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 There is a line in the article that stood out to me: "And we'll go back to the old replay standard of reverse the call on the field only when it's indisputable." Are you kidding me! when was it not suppose to be indisputable?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcurtain29 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Will they rename it the "Jesse James Rule" though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 It won’t be named anything. They are rewriting from scratch. Troy Vincent said they are starting over and want to get away from adding to the rule and it’s why there’s such an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've not only had that in the books since instant replay came in, but on multiple occasions they've said they were going to emphasize the standard of evidence. They were supposed to be doing last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLambert58 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Glad to hear. The gray area for catches was ruining the game. Hopefully the new rule makes sense to the fans and allows the refs to call a fair and consistent game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rivers Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 at least they are trying, its a start . How these rules got so bad is what they need to make sure never happens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if enough people are up in arms about it, something finally changes. The one and only time I ever sent an email to Roger Goodell was after that Dez Bryant catch. I hate the Cowboys, but it was obviously a catch and a miscarriage of justice. Glad that it is FINALLY fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that it is FINALLY fixed. That one and the Calvin Johnson play. Although another site I'm on there's actually people in it arguing that the rule as written is perfectly fine. It's the only place people are saying that. Even Mike Pereira and Dean Blandino are saying "about time". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
