    This might seem random, but I feel it is relevant. College football games are longer than NFL games. This is clear to anyone who watches both. The reason has nothing to do with replay though. The reason college games are longer is they stop the clock after every first down and they run a 20 minute hafltime show.

      I meant to say 'convoluted' - and I still mean it. How about everyone has to go for 2 in the fourth quarter, except if leading by at least 8 1/2 points with less than 6 minutes left?

              if you score you win......if the defense stops you, then you lose. one single possesion. do you trust your defense or your offense to win the game for you.

                Drop kicks starting at 20 yards. Miss, you lose.
                Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                  The replays can be done somewhat more efficiently. When it takes additional time, just cut to commercial during review. No problem, little overall delay.

                    No, it is not going to get worse as technology improves, the games will get better. The fans want the call to be made correctly, a short delay is a small price to pay. Instant replay has not showed Man to be "appallingly inaccurate", if anything it has highlighted how damn good the refs are at getting the right call in real time.


                    I don't think most fans are interested in making football a challenge of challenging. You say "fritter them away", but in fact it is very difficult for a head coach to know when to challenge due to a lack of information. Limitting challenges ends up punishing the team when bad refereeing occurs.
                    I get your arguments, but they are weak compared to the value of just getting the damn calls correct.

                      Bills urge change to replay rule for faster reviews
                      http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/27/bills-urge-change-to-replay-rule-for-faster-reviews/
                      Of the proposed rules changes for 2012 that NFL owners will vote on Wednesday, the first on the list is to change replay reviews so that the official in the booth -- not the referee on the field -- will make the call.

                        The NFL's owners voted to change five on-field rules, voted not to change two on-field rules, voted to change one bylaw and voted to table five bylaw proposals at the league meeting on March 28.

                        "Rules changes that passed included making overtime the same in the regular season as it is in the postseason, and expanding the defenseless player rule to protect defensive players on crackback blocks. The proposed rules changes that failed were giving the authority to determine replay reviews to the replay official in the booth, and modifying the horse-collar tackle rule to remove the exception for quarterbacks in the pocket."

                          NFL still considering changes to trade deadline, roster rules

                          The NFL has not yet decided whether to change its bylaws to move the trade deadline and tweak some roster rules, with owners deciding today that they need more time to consider the proposed changes.

                            Horse collar exception for quarterbacks in pocket remains

                            The NFL announced several rules changes on Wednesday, but one proposal that didn't make it through the voting process was to make horse collar tackles on quarterbacks in the pocket illegal.

                              There will be an expansion of the league rule prohibiting hits to the head and neck of defenseless players next season after teams approved a new rule making such hits illegal when they come as part of crackback blocks.

                                The on-field referee -- not the official in the booth -- will continue to handle replay reviews in the 2012 season after NFL owners voted down a proposal to revert to the old system of having an official upstairs handle replays.
