    I'm saying replay wouldn't have made a difference because it rarely does

    You've been negatively affected by Rex Ryan's repeated asinine challenges of the spot of the ball when his precious defense gave up a first down and his ego can't handle it. Challenges can and do work correctly when it's obvious the call was wrong on the field.

    every week in almost every game they blow calls even w/ replay. it is why I want them to abolish replay, all it does it make games take longer and they still screw up many calls.

    fair enough haha

    I do watch more Jets football than any other but in the games I have watched it is clear to me they only reverse a call when it's insanely obvious and the vast majority of the time they stick with the call on the field because it's "inconclusive". That play yesterday, and the majority of pass interference calls in general, fall under that category. Unless the receiver was tackled they would stick with the call on the field. A waste of time.

    It would be similar to the "spot of the ball" challenge which NEVER gets overturned because its a judgement call.

    I like replay because it gives them a chance to get it right when they obviously screwed it up on the field. I disagree with letting the same refs who screwed it up initially make the call though - should be a centralized group of replay officials off site making the replay calls IMO.

    You think that PI on walls against Jeffrey woulda been called inconclusive?

    it should definitely be centralized, they are too scared many times to overturn calls especially this year.

    possibly yes. although that could have been a rare reversal. but I would not be surprised if they stuck with the call on the field. Look at what they do every week right now with review

    It's real bad. They need to be replaced by robots.

    I'd rather have less replay, not more.

    Keep the TDs and TOs as automatic and ditch the rest.

    The rest is just fodder IMO.

    NFL has a shade more integrity than the WWE.

    I'm a replay proponent and would like to see it expanded to penalties. For example, a false start that is not called would be fair for review.

    But if the refs say PI did not occur, it would have to be obvious like Drew Pearsons '75 OPI--Hitchens' play did not reach this level of obvious in my opinion.

    the games will be 4 hours long, they are already too long w/ too many replays.

    I would rather more time and get it right--I despise bad calls.

    but they still miss calls many times when looking at replay so we get longer games and still blown calls.

    I really don't perceive it this way--usually I agree with the post-replay subsequent decision or at least am satisfied that there is reason underlying it.

    I see way too many blown calls especially this year where they haven't overturned as many calls as in the past.

    Call is bad -- the picking of the flag without explaining... However...
    LOVE the fury of G-fans :) let them have a taste of us watching NE games
