Officials are part of the game. The make mistakes. The blow calls. They don't get it right. Solution...let some guy watch TV and decide what happened. Intel has become the very small "s" savior of mankind. We did fine with out replay. We would do better without it. Getting it right is not all that important especially when the "get it right, up in the booth, under the cloth," guys are sucking down dogs and ginger ale in a warm cozy heated booth acting like they know. Hell, a lot of us on this site can do that.....Find a way to ruin great American tradition and we will, and have. Football was never like this under Warren G. Harding. Get good refs....train them...pay them...fire them...just let people run the world, not Steve Jobs legacy.

I'll continue defending replay. There's a lot of games that have game-deciding calls that are clearly wrong and replay helps weed out the most egregious ones. Sometimes the replay guy gets it wrong, but I don't think they often get it wrong. Sometimes they surprise us and sometimes they overturn a call that was correct on the field, but I think those just stick out more than the mundane, obvious blown calls that get overturn. I think any time you reduce the number of blown calls, the game result is more representative of what actually happened on the field.

I agree. Replay should never make a wrong call over turning a call. If they decide there is not enough evidence - OK, but don't overturn one and get it wrong. That has happened way too much since replay came into being.
I don't think we need replay. I can live with a bad call. The on field guys don't miss that many.
