OT: will penalties be reviewable soon?

So any time you get scored on or something doesn't go your way, you can just challenge it and find a hold going on somewhere in the play to reverse the call. I don't like it. Opening up Pandora's Box.

If all of those are called tighter it wouldn’t be a problem.

I’m baffled how it’s become acceptable to say those penalties occur on every play. Call it by the book, teams will adjust. But QBs will get hit more....quite a bit more.

The ref and Gurley exchanging jerseys was photoshopped, never happened.

Rams' Todd Gurley trolls Saints fans in Instagram post

Even though that was photoshopped that doesn't excuse the missed call... Rams shouldn't be there... Cheapens the game for real fans of the sport... There were too many officials on the field to NOT huddle and then make a call on that play.. the world saw it.. and let it slide...

Neither team should be. At least the saints game had the excuse of not having replay.

It usually takes one egregiously bad call/no call to make changes in rules like that ie Jim Joyce blowing Armando Gallaragha’s perfect game in baseball bringing replay in. It would not shock me given the reactionary nature we usually see in these situations that the NFL institutes replay for penalties. IMO bad calls are a part of the game and replay is painful, especially when you rewatch it once and can tell the right calls but refs stare at it for 5 min. Thoughts?

It should be a coaches challenge replay if they do it.
