Interweb Worst NFL Rule Ever

One of the most craziest injustices in our society has to be the NFL rule that the coach can only challenge two calls on video replay.

The coach should have two chances to be wrong - but if the coach is right both times, why should he be limited to being right only twice? Why penalize a team because the coach was right, after two bad calls?

So long as the refs are making bad calls, the coaches should have the right to set things straight. Of course, if the coaches start abusing this right by challenging calls which were good, they should be cut off.

Please call, write or email your local NFL franchise to complain about this rule.

Thank you for reading my post.

umm, because some of us remember the shitty days of nfl replay of waiting for five minutes for some arcane unexplained ruling from the fucking booth


hell once the officials even made two teams come back and replay the last 20 seconds of a game after the game had been declared over by the officials on the field.

If the call is bad it should be set straight. And the limitation doesn't affect your scenario anyway, if no calls had been challenged.

Under existing rules, if the first two calls are horrible, and the coach proves it by challenging with video, he can't challenge further grossly wrong calls.

I call BULLSHIT.

I have found that the most craziest injustices in our society occur on the Internet.

I think I am personally responsible for several of them.

Well dipshit, they wanted to limit the number of replays to improve the flow of the game while continuing to allow for gross injustices to be righted.

I agree with the new rule. 2 challenges is a goodly amount, and if something really heinous hapens you get it fixed.

so yeah, maybe you want to see an hour of officials conferring while the players stand around, but I don't.

If the refs make good calls, each team should still be limited to two replays. That I have no problem with.

The BULLSHIT is that you can use your ownly two replays correcting two gross miscarraiges of justice, and then have no recourse left.

This is CRAP. :fuming:

Yeah! Totes crap! HOW DARE THEY FUCK WITH US LIKE THIS!! It is totally unfair to those coaches. The National Forensics League has a lot of explaining to do! Or are we talking about Newfoundland (NFL)? Because I never trusted those crafty Canuck sons-a-bitches. Treat their coaches like that!

The day these rules were passed will LIVE IN INFAMY!!!!!!!!!!
I am so angry right now. I'm going to go drink a fresca and then call like ten other dudes I know and GET TOTALLY ANGRY ABOUT THIS GROSS INJUSTICE AGAIN. I think I'm going to CALL BULLSHIT and those pricks in Neue Fünf Länder (the states of former East Germany) will GET AN EARFUL.

NO WAY WE CAN ALLOW THIS TO STAND!

The Denver Broncos told me to go piss up a rope, but that's probably because I signed my email "Raidah4life".

While you're at it: safeties. Why the donkey fucking hell are safeties only worth two points?! They're hard as hell to get and happen only a few times each season. A safety should be worth at least thirty fucking points.

Talk about your most craziest societal injustices!

There aren't nearly enough home runs or slam dunks in football, imo.

Now I don't necessarily disagree with you, but at least everyone knows going in that if they get a safety it is only two points. You make a good point though, but 30 seems a little excessive - how about 12 with the chance to make two extra points (or two extra two pointers?)

But when a ref is denied the chance to challenge a call because he was successful in challenging too many bad calls against him, both he, his team, and all their fans take it in the ass, in a situation where the refs could be biased or even making calls in favor of big bets they put down on the game.
