Instant Replay

Instant Replay in the NFL

As technology continues to evolve into unimaginable products and ideas, it is no surprise that some of this new innovation has leaked into the realm of sports. While there have been massive advancements in equipment, the major new developments have been made in this one category: Instant Replay. While you would think getting every call in a game completely correct would always be a good thing, sometimes it only makes the game boring due to the frequent pauses that going to the replay booth causes. Let’s discuss the pros and cons of the new instant replay.

Pros: One of the worst calls in sports history occurred in the NFC Championship game of the NFL playoffs: Saints against the Rams. During one of the final drives for the New Orleans Saints, Quarterback Drew Brees threw the ball in the direction of one of his wide receivers. Before the ball even got to the wide receiver, the cornerback on the Rams tackles the Saints player. In all shock, no flag was thrown. This cost the New Orleans Saints a trip to the Super Bowl where they would have played the New England Patriots. Calls like these should never be allowed, but the fact that this call was ruins what a team was working so hard for. Instant replay, once fully utilized, will eliminate this issue from ever occurring which will benefit the total product of the game. Instant replay should fix all human error in order to make games perfectly fair and correct.

Cons: Truly the only negative is how long the current instant replay process takes. During the middle of the game, the replay process seemingly lasts over ten minutes to simply get the call right. While it is extremely important to get the call correct, in my opinion, if it is that close that it takes that long, it should just be left with the call that was called on the field. At the end of the day, professional sports are a product that must entertain the viewers that are in attendance, as well as watching from home. I know a couple of times throughout the game, I have to walk away from the screen due to the lengthy review process.

The Lengthy NFL “Instant” Replay Review Process

Given these pros and cons, where does your thought process lie about how much instant replay should be used? Do you think every call should be 100% correct every time or would you rather have some missed calls that provide a more fluid, entertaining game? Excited to hear your thoughts in the comments below about Instant Replay Process!

  1. Solid blog, Woz. I think the fact that the NFL will now be using replay to review pass interference, called or not called, is horrible for the game. There’s minor pass interference on nearly every single throw downfield. The missed call in the Saints game was REALLY bad (even though I don’t believe that was the sole reason why New Orleans lost), but that no-call isn’t enough to elicit this drastic response. Instant replay will negatively impact the game, and it will be used strategically by teams late in the fourth quarter to preserve their chances of winning, even if they don’t deserve to. I don’t think every play should be up to the coaches to challenge; let the refs do their jobs. The unpredictability of officials is, I think, something that makes the game really entertaining. And their unpredictability usually impacts both teams equally throughout the course of the game, which was even true in the Saints-Rams game.

  2. I think that it dosent matter how long the game takes they should still use it to be fair.
