So with this new rule, why not just call that a TD and then review it?!
I started a thread after week one and was practically called a complainer.This new rule is for the friggin birds.
Strongly disagree. It's basicly the college system, only just on scoring plays.They need to get rid of coaches challenges all together, and do all reviews in the booth instead of the field. It works very well in college, and there's no reason it wouldn't work just as well in the pros.

Yeah, it's pretty asinine that near TDs aren't reviewed and a team has to burn a challenge if it's close. Not sure how the refs get graded but as long as they get it right after reviews, I'd think that's more important than the initial call. On turnovers they're supposed to err on the side of caution instead if a quick whistle. The same theory should be applied here. Some really, really dumb rules in the Goodell era (just wait til another 4 weeks of pink accessories next month!). . The 'going to ground' rule is the dumbest rule in pro sports. Like the CJ catch, two feet, a hand, an elbow, and an ### all hit the ground but it's not a catch... The sooner Goodell's gone, the better.
 
Did Nicks make that catch on the PI call? I thought I saw him get his feet in on the replay. Kind of sucks.

The Sproles 'TD' is a glaring example that it doesn't work well.

lol at Jaws saying "great throw" on the TD. The throw was terrible. Wasn't it supposed to be a back-shoulder throw? He threw it to the forward shoulder and Nicks made a fantastic grab. If the defender gets his head around he easily knocks it down if not intercepts. That ball is supposed to be thrown on the other side of Nicks body.

 
Why did the Giants give up so much for Eli again?

Why do the Giants hurry up to the line of scrimmage only to run the play clock down?
Umm...maybe for that thing in your profile pic? You know, the one he won for them a few years back against the team that went 16-0 during the regular season?I know he wasn't the biggest part of that team, but he was definitely worth the picks they gave up for him just for getting them that one ring.

It's hilarious how fickle football fans can be...he'll throw a TD soon and you'll be saying he's the second coming.
I like Eli and I am well aware that Eli has won a Super Bowl Doesn’t change the fact that I think the Giants paid too much to get him. I said it on this board when it happened and will continue to believe that despite his Super Bowl win, Eli isn’t five players better than Big Ben or Rivers

 
Looked like Nicks had both feet in bounds on the 1 hand catch that sucks lost 23 yards on that play.

The replay official is supposed to buzz the referee on these plays. Unfortunately, they seem to think they are the ref and are missing getting some of these plays reviewed.

Gimme a break. Any system you can think of will miss one once in a while, but I'd much rather they fixed 90% of the bad calls than none, or another system that requires the coach on the field to get a message from another coach in a booth who's basically at the mercy of the network broadcast (like the int that wasn't an int last night in Atlanta).There's a better system in college...and it's absurd the NFL hasn't adopted it.
 
Aaron Ross should get cut at half time, first off he stinks, second he doesn't hustle at all, no reason he shouldn't have tackled Alexander

 
Kendricks could've gotten up and ran another 10 yards...nobody touched him, he just slowly rolled out of bounds.
