Time to get rid of replay

[uihawk82]

I and all of us have seen so many bad reversals or poor calls upheld. Millions see a replay and see it both ways so that is not indesputable evidence.

That overturn of the incompletion to give Bama a TD was just another example of a poor system. How that replay official can say with 100% confidence he had possession is pure crap.

Just get rid of replay althogether or just in the last 2 minutes of each half.

That was clearly a catch though.

I think the simple answer is to use technology. Microchip in the ball ( heck put a little camera in it too for poops and giggles, but I digress), whole field and end zones have sensors, goal post have sensors, yada, yada, yada...no more arguments about in or out...possession and penalties is only thing to leave in refs hands.

Bama did get the benefit from calls tonight. Clearly they got away with intentional grounding. Ol sparty didn't get away nastiness. Got called for a few hands to the face. Imo instant replay has helped keeping the homer calls to a minimum.

That ball was loose and sliding up the breast plate of his shoulders pads, I disagree and not 100% conclusive evidence to overrule the incomplete call.

The people in the booth and so called referee expert thought it was incomplete.

The benefits of video review far exceeds the occasional head-scratcher reversal.
