[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 764029, member: 10441"] I'm not afraid, it may just mean I don't watch someday. It's not something that is happening tomorrow, so i'm not going to act like it is. I was just making a point. At some point, no matter how you want to write the rules, interpret the rules, replay the rules, how many eyes you want to see the same play, how many angles or how much time they have to look, at some point it comes down to"make the call and move on" . The game existed for a long time without it. They missed some calls and people got mad, so they instituted replay. People still missed calls, so they changed it. People still missed calls but it was no affecting how people watched it, so they got rid of it. Then they brought it back with changes. They get some right, they get some wrong. and many more are influenced in ways we never even realize thru officiating erring on the side of caution and letting replay figure it out. Only replay doesn't and the call stands when it probably wouldn't have before. or don't those plays matter? I don't think any of this stuff makes our game better, i really don't. It's made it different. They can tweak the rules all they want on the catch. more criteria, more interpretations, more micro analysis, more controversy. and if the goal is to get the calls correct, why not all of them? why just certain ones? I'm guessing it's because everybody can see that it would be detrimental to the game to allow it all to be reviewed. We had pretty good officiating for decades in this league, replay hasn't made the game better, just different. Tweak the catch rules. Let me know when they get rid of the controversy. and at the end of the day, add or subtract as many layers of replay and rules as you'd like. They'll still get some right and they'll still get some "wrong" and still someone is going to have the make the call and move on. which was what my point was. [/QUOTE]
