No! Stop, Don't do it!! Oh crap.

I was able to freeze it right when his knee went down and I could clearly see that it was not a TD. If MM wanted a timeout, he could just call timeout.

...because M3 has freeze frame replay on the sidelines...

You don't think he's got someone in a booth calling down to him to tell him to challenge something or not? Jesus Christ, come on.

How do you know that people in a booth have more access than we, the viewers, do? If when the NFL ref reviews the play he only has the angles that the TV networks have, if we in the TV audience get the angles as soon as everyone else does (as has been implied every time a late angle shows up, then a coach has to make a split second decision to throw the flag based on if he thinks the plays shown in TV's replay show something other than what was called, his gut feeling, his player's gut feeling, and whether or not he thinks there will be a late replay that either proves or disproves what he wants. How many times do you see a head coach watching the replay on the big screen before throwing the challenge flag? It's because he's seeing what we're seeing and he probably calls some of those on his own.

There's way more to this than just some guy in a booth somewhere with his eyes glued to a screen. Come on.

The booth does have an HD TV for the coaches, but I think I have read they have access to the regular TV feed and that is all.

Yes, watching a replay is SO confusing. I'm saying about 15 seconds after the play was shown, the network showed a replay and I with a DVR could freeze it and see it was no good. You think an NFL team is incapable of something as simple as this?

Let me clarify. This was NOT some special view they showed after the challenge flag was thrown. This was the regular goal line replay they showed almost right after the play.

Why doesn't someone email one of the reporters and ask what kind of equipment the coaches have access to? A DVR would help, but is it allowed? By rule they cannot be viewing filmed/videotaped footage during the game. I would doubt they get to have a DVR.

I was unaware of this rule. If that is the case and you can't have someone with a DVR type device, I stand corrected.

Yeah, that's why you always see them looking at still photographs on the sideline. Otherwise, they'd have staff glued to TVs and computers.

I don't know if I've noticed it much lately, but I used to laugh when you'd see the coach watching the Jumbotron to see what just happened!

Network TV also has an 8(?) second delay on broadcasts.
