How about roughing the passer. If Bush squeezes that one it was a pick six or he gets dragged down inside the 20. Huge play that would have been wiped out by a totally bogus roughing the passer. That was clearly in the strike zone and less steps than several plays that were uncalled. If you are going to open up penalties to review there has to be a list of four or five infractions (Helmet to helmet was another one last night.) You get 2 challenges and a bonus if the first one was a overturned call.
If you are going to review PI

I started watching the game last night and was enjoying it. I was thinking, "Why have I hated watching NFL games so much the past 6 or 7 years?" That play happened. Oh yeah, now I ******* remember.
And Helmet to helmet, roughing the passer is far less subjective than pass interference.

I'm in favor of whatever reduces time spent on replay review because that adds nothing to the entertainment value of the game.
but the **** they are calling is ridiculous.

There's little incentive to get it right since replay is always there as a backup and half time the it seems like they don't even get it right after replay.
I'm not in favor of replay of penalties at all. However, cherry picking one penalty Pass interference because a specific darling team got ****** in the playoffs last year is ridiculous. Holding is impossible. that can never be on the table or you have a nightmare on your hands. But personal fouls can change the course of a game just as easy. Its third down and you are bringing your pass rush. The difference between a punt and a new set of downs is huge.
