if Worilds had ran right through Ryan, he'd be hospitalized.

The Worilds Personal Foul

The NFL needs to reimburse the TV networks millions to compensate for reduced commercials then institute replay on pass interference and personal fouls. The penalty could not be applied if it wasn't called in the first place (that would open up a whole can of worms), but if by a close inspection upstairs reveals an incorrect call, the referee should be buzzed. Then he looks at it himself and makes the decision. The application of penalties is a relatively slow process that would allow for the inspection. Its just a matter of reducing the commercials by a few of the thousands per game. They could total the bill at end of the season and pay it back to the networks for lost revenue.

Don't bother with having the referee review replays. Just have a dedicated replay official at each game, who is on a headset with the referee and can advise any time a replay is needed or would trigger a change of outcome. So, for example, on the AB catch at the 1 yesterday, the call on the field was no catch, the replay official would signal it was under review, and the ruling would be changed based on video evidence. Or for the Worilds roughing penalty, the replay official could question the referee as to why the flag was thrown, and they would confer to determine if anything on the video would have overturned the decision to call a penalty - such as if the official that threw the flag didn't have a good line of sight and felt that Worilds hit Ryan with the crown of the helmet, or went helmet to helmet, the replay official could look at it and say, "no, it was a clean hit, no penalty." The replay official shouldn't be allowed to initiate penalties that weren't called on the field, only overturn ones that are called incorrectly.
They already have automatic replay in certain situations like turnovers and scoring plays. Why not take advantage of what's already in place to get the calls right as much as possible? Even if it doesn't make a big impact on the outcome of games (though I can't see how it wouldn't from time to time), what it does do that the league should embrace is that it at least gives the illusion of integrity. Every fan can tell you every week about some call that their team got screwed on. If you have an official overruling those calls from time to time (even if it's not every game), a lot of people will shut up about it, because the broad perception would change to be "the call must have been the right one, because it wasn't overturned on review." The only people that like controversy in the sport are the talking heads on ESPN, because it gives them something to hype all week.
I bellowed my displeasure from off of my balcony to the neighborhood...
My neighbors found it amusing.

I like your wife's animation! You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Ron Burgundy again.
No. Remember the sack Keisel had in da 'Burgh (QB escapes me right now) and he "celebrated" with the "Big Bow" move - 15 yard penalty for excessive celebration. I'll never forget that seeing as everyone other than the Steeler's can shoot a rocket to the moon after a sack and nada...

As long as I watch football I will NEVER get over, "15 yards roughing the passer, landing with full body weight on the Quarterback." I cannot fathom that these words were actually uttered on national TV during a football game. That's when I knew it was over.

I've seen multiple play over downs in the last couple weeks because officials were "out of position." Where the **** are they, in the toilet? It cost the Lions over thirty yards in field position on a re-punt yesterday. Officiating is getting worse, and there isn't a thing that will change it.

And what a BIG DEAL they mad of it because it was the Niners...bullshit.
Yeah, I never understood why they could overturn a mistake on a play, but not a penalty call...what's the ******* difference?
Horrible call on Worilds, during one of his few true highlight reel plays of the year.
Well now that the Steelers exorcized the curse of the NFCS with the win over the Falcs, here's hoping Jason Worilds and every Defensive Steeler can replicate the pancake sack on Alex Smith as well Sunday!

It's not ******* hockey. You should be able to launch yourself as far as you want as long as it doesn't come out of that precious tiny little zone. All of this **** is for nothing anyway. It's window dressing. Guys are still getting knocked the **** out. Look down injury lists on teams and see all of the concussions. Make them wear better equipment and bring hitting back or seriously just put flags on them. They're not saving anyone this way. It's a contact sport not badminton.
But they do sometimes change their own call. Flag on the play, huddle, "there was no flag on the play". I agree that the coaches should be able to challenge a penalty. I'm sure the NFL doesn't allow it because they know the Harbaugh brothers would challenge every flag. They'd bring their own bucket of red challenge flags. LOL.
If memory serves, it was against cincy and they got him for putting his knee on the ground.
That's what I was thinking. It's not like he's good enough to get penalties for tackling too hard. It's like getting a speeding ticket for 100 mph in a 1973 Vega.

What I like about it is they never specified why it was a foul, which is the norm. You don't just call it roughing, the ref should specify why as in: "Roughing the passer, blow to the head." Nope. In this case, they didn't tell us how it was a foul because IT WASN'T a FOUL. He didn't hit him late, he didn't hit him in the head, he didn't hit him in the knees and he didn't use the crown of his helmet. There is no other way to rough according to the rules. What total bull ****.
Worilds was flagged for being a big meanie and tackling too hard.
Reminds me of a cartoon website, I forget the name, from a couple years ago where the ref flags Ray Lewis for "Glaring at Tom Brady in a menacing fashion."

They didn't get penalties...
It was simply a lets keep them in the game penalty and it worked. Ref could not see the hit. I watched it from several angles provided and saw nothing that would make it illegal. Tunch called it a park avenue penalty.

Diesel was penalized originally for "going to the ground AND simulating a weapon"...then they changed it to "simulating a weapon" only. Stevie Brown was flagged the year before for simulating shooting himself in the thigh in order to make fun of Jets Burress who they were playing at the time.
Holy ****! That makes it even worse.
They do, but I'm talking about booth reviews. Somebody should be able to review every penalty call to make sure it's legitimate. Many of these calls are huge, game-changing factors that can nullify big plays and change momentum in a heartbeat...kind of important, in my opinion.
I don't know if I'd go so far as every penalty call. Games could end up being 5 hours long. But, personal fouls and P.I. calls (anything besides taunting) that leads to a 15 yard penalty should be reviewed. College game has a nice system with the Targeting calls and I actually saw some of those overturned this year. So, for the NFL to say it's not feasible to add things like roughing the passer, defensive pass interference, hits to a defenseless receiver and crown of the helmet (spearing) to the list of reviewable or automatically reviewed plays is a farce.
