Stationary Camera Angles

[LittleBoyBlue]

After watching Champ Bailey get the ball "doinked" out of his hands out of bounds

and then

Ben and his TD or not

shouldnt there be stationary camera's right above Goal line looking down near the the out of bounds lines

and

a camera shooting right down the goal line from end to end so you can see the ball at the exact angle that it crossed the goal line or not?

...also. Given that sports like horse racing have high quality cameras taking shots of the finish line, I can't imagine a sport like the NFL not using technology to get the call right.

Let's all be honest, if they took pictures of your family at the local photographers that were as fuzzy as the slo-mo images we saw in the replay you'd be upset. They have to make a decision in the league, embrace the technology or go with the refs. Can't go halfway when this game is so highly scrutinized.

Actually, with today's technology there's no reason there shouldn't be a sensor at the goalline that detects when the magnetized stitching of the ball breaks the plane. The sensor triggering can be compared with the player's knee or other body part being down. To carry this concept further, the 1st down marker could be wired for more accurate spotting.

Heck, why mess around. Why don't we implant microchips of varying degrees in each appendage which would carry descriptive variances that would interact with a titanium laced ball and react within the sonar barriered gridiron boundries that is subjected to specially trained agents operating night vision goggles.

This would also allow coaches to track his players to strip clubs.

Is that expensive to do?

What ever happened to that "Eagle Eye" setup they used in the Giants/Ravens Superbowl? The Matrix like setup with cameras in a big circle around the stadium that allowed the replay to be rotated around to give a better angle? I thought it was great and would eventually become the standard in the NFL. But it hasn't been seen again.
