Instant replay SUX. Needs to be junked

They need to stick by their own dammmmmmed rules.
How can the ground cause an incomplete pass but not a fumble. Should be the same for both. If the receiver goes to the ground with the ball in control it's complete.

They still automatically review TDs and TOs in the NFL.

Tend to agree. They don't adhere to their own established rules and they still get it wrong at least half the time. It doesn't work.

They have different rules for different situations. The ground can't cause a fumble, that is correct. But to fumble a ball the receiver has to first have possession of it. If you don't maintain control of the ball when going to the ground then it isn't a catch. The rules are very clear on this. Butch knows the rules. Preston knows the rules. And you better believe our defensive backs know the rules (why they keep fighting to knock the ball out when in that same situation)

1. Slows the game WAY down
2. They STILL get it wrong a big percentage of the time
3. They don't follow their own rules
----Sick of hearing about "indisputable evidence"
----Sick of hearing about "you must be able to see the ball to overturn a call" (oh yeah? Remember our Vandy game?)
----Sick of hearing that you can't review a play after the next play has been run. Has happened at least 3 times against UT in the past year or so.
4. Just as open to tampering as before instant replay...maybe more so. And now they are calling Birmingham on vid replays? Sheesh.
5. Eliminating the human element is impossible.

Either junk it entirely (my preference), or set a time limit -- if they can't decide whether to overturn say in 30 seconds, then the call on the field should stand by default.

It does impact home cooking which is a shame

Instant replay is one of the best things to come along since the yellow line.

The replay you are referring to was buzzed in before the next play started.

The only reason IMO to get rid of or retool it is the length it adds to a game. Maybe my attention span is shorter as I get older but its gotten really hard to sit down and watch a game because of the interruption etc. And live at the game is getting even worst. It should not take 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours to play a half of football. And I have decided the talking heads in the sports centers drive me nuts and I get embarrassed for them trying to fill air time with on and on drivel...As you can tell its becoming less and less of an enjoyment for me to watch sports...And I love sports...imagine someone fairly new to the game and trying to follow it...doesn't bode well for the future...

Oddly enough, as the game itself has speeded up (no huddle, etc.), replay has slowed it DOWN. Now you get less actual football footage and commentary and more of the broadcaster dribble and splitscreen (even tri-screen) views of the refs standing around with headphones and their thumbs up their butts. And you know almost EVERY great play is going to be reviewed unless the guy catching/running is right in the center of the field with nobody within 10 yards of him.

I wonder what goes through the minds at B ham when its a game win or lose call when an Sec team is playing an out of conference team. Or its a big money call as can come up for conference championship. Lets say Al. and S.C., who makes the better national championship game money and tv ratings for all the marbles? Just wondering.

It's funny that the replays were done well at the ETSU-Kennesaw State game last night. None of them took more than a minute or a minute and a half.

Always thought the booth shouldn't be able to call for the review, rather give each coach 2 challenges. You keep the challenges you win. Puts it on coaching staffs this way.

If it was then why didn't the refs stop the game? We ran the next play and were about to line up for a 2nd.

Exactly this! If they were buzzed for a replay the line judge should have never cleared the ball and allowed the snap to take place. They got one play off and lined up for a scnd play before they stopped play.

We go really fast and the referee is the only one that knows he's been buzzed by the booth.

...and the line judge has nothing to do with when the ball is in play anyway.

Completely disagree. The goal is to ensure every play is called correctly.
The college process of reviewing every play is perfect.
The nfl process is ridiculous. Should not be up to the coach to decide in a few seconds it it needs to be looked at with limited chances to do it. It's a horrible process

Another note to think about; if we had had instantly replay sooner, the bs gaffney catch would have been overruled and we most likely would have beat Florida that year.

Instant replay has become an oxymoron. Watching a play 30 times from 6 angles is overkill particularly with the current rules for. "is it a catch?" The announcers try to steer or explain the call and the game goes on hold for a mini documentary. Needs reform

That's the one part of replay that I don't like. The frame by frame stuff where they strain to see if the ball moves is ridiculous. It should be a little more difficult to overturn the call on the field.

I agree but we also need transparency of who, where, and how the whole "in Bama" calls take place. If it's a situation where an official is isolated at SEC HQ for the whole game, I'm not quite as concerned. If it's a jackleg somewhere making reviews from his smartphone while tailgating with his buds at a Bama pregame parking situation, I have a problem with that. Given it's not been explained to me, I need to understand the details before saying I'm good with it at this point. Seems like it was sort of sprung on everybody like "oh by the way, we're going to do reviews out of Alabama this year." How about a LOT of detail surrounding what that really means?

Either way, the referee should have stopped play when he was buzzed, not after one play and almost a second was put into play! I f he was buzzed after the snap then it shouldn't be reviewable.
