Why Have Instant Replay

[Doomsday]

is a total joke. They cant even get the simplest calls right. Anyone else watching the Tenn/TB game? Buchanon was clearly out of bounds and once again they review it and dont overturn the call. Almost half of his foot was out of bounds after he intercepted Young's pass. They really need to let someone besides the ref on the field review the play.

Vince Young thew an INT? That's a shocker.

Vince Young thew an INT? That's a shocker.

What's NOT a shocker is to see him just keep on winning.

Vince Young thew an INT? That's a shocker.

It was a terrible pass, but Buchanon's second foot was clearly out of bounds.

yeah it was a pretty obvious call that he was OB, dont they have Plasma HD TVs too? dont seem like they help...

Could he be the first QB to ever have a 1:2 TD/INT ratio in a season?

I think he could. He's 3-6 right now.

The replays are supposed to be HD this year.

It was out of bounds, but you are exxagerrating greatly how much of his foot was out of bounds.

they don't have the balls to overturn the on the field call. same in college.

 

[theogt]

So did Vince Young get hurt or did he finally get yanked for being a horrible QB?

 

[Doomsday]

Young pulled a quad.

Seriously. Anyone watching the KC game can attest that it doesn't work.

antonio chapman just made a GREAT sideline catch. Textbook, literally. Snagged the ball and got 1 foot planted clearly in bounds and dragged the other foot for 2 feet before he went out of bounds. Honestly, probably one of the best sideline catches that you could make.

Goes to instant replay and comes back as ruled on the field which was incomplete.

So why do they even use it. Its really just as accurate as the officials are. Maybe even less considering it gives them 2 chances to get the call wrong. I hope this ends up on official review but I doubt it. Its clearly an instance of a terrible call and they usually don't hit periera with anything he can't BS.

 

[TwoSteppinJJ]

He bobbled the ball as he was falling out of bounds.

 

[Hoofbite]

He bobbled the ball as he was falling out of bounds.

Absolutely not. Not bobbling one bit. Dude has 2 hands on it and is putting the ball away but there was not 1 ounce of bobble.

You may not remember this but when the Steelers beat the Colts in the playoffs two years ago. Polamalu intercepted a pass, advance the ball with three feet down, fumbled, and recovered, but after instant replay they ruled it incomplete. So if anything, they're giving the refs another chance to make the wrong call. I like it though, you wouldn't want to lose a game by an incomplete TD pass scored by your opponent.

Refs are flawed, but they'd be even more flawed if we didn't have instant replay. Sometimes they don't see the replay right. Most of the time they do.

If you look at the grand scheme, it helps far more than it hurts. We just need to see it used for any play. That push-out by Smoot was blatant.
