Stupid fukking Rule
"Section 9 Instant Replay INSTANT REPLAY The League will employ a system of Instant Replay Review to aid officiating for reviewable plays as defined below. The following procedures will be used: Coaches’ Challenge. In each game, a team will be permitted two challenges that will initiate Instant Replay reviews, except for plays when the on-field ruling is a score for either team, an interception, a fumble or backward pass that is recovered by an opponent or goes out of bounds through an opponent’s end zone, or a muffed scrimmage kick recovered by the kicking team. A team is also prohibited from challenging any ruling after the two-minute warning of each half, and throughout any overtime period. Each challenge will require the use of a team timeout. If a challenge is upheld, the timeout will be restored to the challenging team. A challenge will only be restored if a team is successful on both of its challenges, in which case it shall be awarded a third challenge, but a fourth challenge will not be permitted under any circumstances. A team may challenge an on-field ruling up until the next legal snap or kick. If there is a foul that delays the next snap, the team committing that foul will no longer be able to challenge the previous ruling. No challenges will be recognized from a team that has exhausted its timeouts.A team that is out of timeouts or has used all of its available challenges may not attempt to initiate an additional challenge. Penalty: For initiating a challenge when a team is prohibited from doing so: Loss of 15 yards. Replay Official’s Request for Review. After all scoring plays, interceptions, fumbles and backward passes that are recovered by an opponent or go out of bounds through an opponent’s end zone, muffed scrimmage kicks recovered by the kicking team, after the two-minute warning of each half, and throughout any overtime period, any Replay Review will be initiated by a Replay Official from a Replay Booth comparable to the location of the coaches’ booth or Press Box. There is no limit to the number of Referee Reviews that may be initiated by the Replay Official. He must initiate a review before the next legal snap or kick and cannot initiate a review of any ruling against a team that commits a foul that delays the next snap. His ability to initiate a review will be unrelated to the number of timeouts that either team has remaining, and no timeout will be charged for any review initiated by the Replay Official."
WHAT IN THE fukk IS THAT STUPID RULE?. any coach should just chuck that fukking flag out when his team gets a close turnover or his team scores a close td, and it is automatically upheld. might be the dumbest rule i have ever heard of, and that includes the tuck rule, and the calvin johnson catch rule
That makes sense to you? When they "must" be reviewed? They guy gets punished for making sure that it does get reviewed? Are you serious? When we have precedent of coaches throwing their flags on plays that can't be reviewed and a ref comes over and gives them the flag back.
why?
