If the booth can just review it, why is there an on-field review?

From last years changes:

"With an ongoing push from coaches for a sky judge or a booth umpire — the former term which originated during the meteoric fall of the Alliance of American Football — the unanimously opposed Competition Committee held its ground and initiated a review of options. Entering 2021, the committee proposed, and owners approved, a new rule that would allow the replay official to intervene between plays to make some obvious corrections.

  • Whether or not the pass was completed or intercepted
  • Whether or not a loose ball touches a boundary line or the goal line
  • Correct a spot when the location of the ball relates to the boundaries, line of scrimmage, line to gain, or the goal line.
  • Correct a spot to an earlier part of a run where a runner was down by contact but not ruled down."

The rules committee changed that before last season to try and speed the game up. If the review official saw something he thought could overturn the play he would have called down. Campbell also could have challenged but apparently chose not to. The replay official does not eliminate a team's right to challenge and have an on-field review, it simply gives the NFL an avenue to look at clearly incorrect calls without a coaches challenge.

In this case the replay official didn't see anything that would have overturned the call. And apparently the Lion's replay people didn't either since Campbell didn't throw the red flag.

Saw a few of these today including a crucial one in the Giants-Jags game. What bothers me is they did not call the hit on Rush last week by Graham, but I saw two just like that today in different games called.

The inconsistency still bugs me. They do seem to be getting better about calling them all, but Rush got no love last week

No they didn't. The replay showed that Micah stopped them short of the goal line.

Should have been marked about a half-yard closer, but then we would have recovered the fumble in the end zone instead of at the 1.

The ironic part of that was, Romo used to throw those type of pass(into triple coverage) all the time. The difference was, he had Dez who came down with them more often than not.

And before someone accuses me of being a Romo basher. I supported Romo back then just like I support Dak now.

Every QB has thrown into triple coverage at times. Sometimes you just read it wrong. The only part I didn't like about what Dak was saying is that he made it seem like it was more about the throw instead of the decision. Doesn't matter how strong your arm is, you don't try that throw on purpose no matter what.

I agree it was not a good thing to do. I was just pointing out that it was ironic Romo, who was commentating, used to do it all the time. Infact, many Dak bashers were complaining he wasn't doing it enough toward Dez when Dez was around.
