00:00How about replay system expansion?
00:01Here's the interesting part, Mark.
00:02Throw a flag there, face mask, 15 yards,
00:05and an automatic first down.
00:06You get buzzed down.
00:08Oh no, there was no face make there, we take it away.
00:10We like that as professional sports watchers,
00:13handicappers, and bettors, but hear me out on this.
00:16The ones that get us more upset
00:18are the sack of a quarterback by the face mask
00:21where there was no flag called,
00:23and replay goes, yeah, that's a clear face mask,
00:25but we can't drop a flag onto the field.
00:28How about that, Mark?
00:30Yeah, again, the biggest issue for me
00:33with this more than anything,
00:35and I have not been able to figure this out
00:36in the two years since replay assist has been around,
00:39someone explained to me what the parameters are
00:42for replay assist being used and it not being used.
00:45How come there are certain plays
00:47where it was buzzed down and fixed immediately,
00:49and there were certain plays where there was no help?
00:51I have no idea when replay assist can be used,
00:54what needs to happen to trigger a replay assist,
00:57and that's the part that is arbitrary and unfair,
01:02and it confuses the viewer.
01:04I've seen it too many times last year
01:06where it's like, why can't they just buzz down and fix that?
01:09Nope, coach has gotta use a challenge.
01:11Why don't they buzz down and fix that?
01:12Nope, we're just gonna continue to play what it is
01:14and let the call on the field stand.
01:16I have no idea when replay assist happens.
01:19The NFL continues to refuse to look at this and go,
01:24we just want the call right every time.
01:27Whatever we need to do to get there,
01:28we just want the call right every time.
01:31It's not hard, it's not difficult,
01:33but the NFL has learned over the past,
01:37let's say 25 years, DRS,
01:39don't care if you don't like the officiating.
01:42We don't care if the officiating isn't any good,
01:45and we don't care if the officiating
01:47changes the outcome of a game, because guess what?
01:50You're all gonna watch the next week, and we know it,
01:53so we don't have to care.
