Long overdue. You think with all the money, cameras, technology... this would be a foregone conclusion.

Somewhere in Buffalo you can hear someone yelling one year to late!

I honestly don't feel Allen got that first down. Everyone says the Bills got screwed, but I don't think he even got it.

I didn't think it was close and maybe an even worse spot that has been overlooked is the play before that on the on the pass to the TE was a first down. NFL was not going to let Swift, I mean KC lose.

That was the play before. Not the one in question, but I agree. The play before Kinkaid got that first down. IMO

Good move and long overdue, but down and distance isn't the biggest problem.

(This post was last modified: 04-08-2025, 12:42 PM by medaille.)
So the league can mandate that stadiums have 6 cameras (in specified spots?) for Hawkeye, even though it’s been unwilling to mandate how many cameras and in what locations there are for the instant replay system? I kid. I’m not 100% sure how this works, but it kind of sounds like it’s not going to fix the ref poorly spotting the ball, but only whether or not it’s a first down or not. Like so the ref determines where the ball was and puts the ball down on the ground. Hawkeye tells you if that’s a first down or not. It’s not going to tell you whether the ball while in the players hands crossed the first down line or whether it’s a touchdown or not. The ref still determines that. Am I misunderstanding how this works?

Yes I did see it. The chain gang will still be utilized as a back (in case this fantastic technology fails for some reason...I mean, what could go wrong with technology?)

How long before some resourceful tech bro with a gambling habit hacks into the system and controls inches with a joystick?
