The NFL got tired of bad officiating/missing calls/making bad calls, so they instituted replay. They've altered it a number of times in a number of ways, experimented with was is and isn't allowed to be challenged and even put an"eye in the sky" to expedite the correction of truly obvious errors, to keep the flow of the game moving. Nobody can put forth a convincing argument, had the eye in the sky been allowed to call down on erroneous penalty calls, the unnecessary roughness on a totally still Jalen Ramsey vs Geno Smith wouldn't have been reversed. Or the roughing the kicker call in the same game. Probably the intentional grounding and taunting too (though that last one might have slipped by). So the question has to asked, if they can figure out something as complicated as an 18 week schedule full of issues like stadium sharing between two NFL teams, stadium sharing between NFL and MLB teams. TNF, SNF, MNF, London, Germany, Mexico and byes for each club, they can certainly figure out a way to install parameters for eliminating some of these errors, obvious to anyone with a TV. There's a bank of monitors available to an official in the booth with the ability to reverse, slow down and determine the error in the amount of time it takes the field officials to mark the ball and whistle it ready for play. For a multi- billion dollar business supposedly ever concerned with the quality of their product, it's ridiculous to believe it's not correctable. (Having said that, Bradbury's tug/grab was a penalty in any game, in any week at any point in the game.) But if they can't improve the process, then make everything available to a coach for challenge.
