NFL likely to consider judgment challenge with penalty disincentive

ESPN has been saying Coleman “appeared” to be early in all their articles about it, which is hilarious and shows how they’re part of the NFL’s PR campaign.

Why does their need to be a penalty if the team is wrong? You only get 3 challenges anyway. If you want to use one on a judgment call, then so be it.

The game gets slowed down all the time in games where there are lots of reviewable calls on turnovers or scoring plays. No one cares. But the league and or fans act like a coach challenging a PI is going to add an extra hour to the game.

Some of the crazy 50-50 college games are slow as all get out because they do so many reviews, pass so many times, and change possessions so often. I don’t feel like there’s some huge portion of people saying they can’t watch those games. People love football.
Agree. Why is it up to the coaches to challenge an egregious miss call by an official? The NFL needs to acknowledge that the college system works best, adopt it and expand it to include PI and perhaps other penalties. I'd be willing to bet that the college game is not significantly slowed due to the review system they run. And even if the game is slowed by a couple of minutes, isn't that a small price to pay to ensure the right call is made on the field?

The NFL can improve their system if they want to. We'll have to wait and see if they have the brass to do it.
