Jim Irsay wants instant replay on all calls, including penalties, in last 2 minutes

Pretty nifty conundrum for Goodell here. What do you do when your boss is the one openly calling out the refs for their incompetence.

I see what you mean, here. When Irsay says "Anthony Richard's Surgery", what he really means is "Instant Replay in the final 2 minutes". And when he says "no new surprises" he means "no bad calls". Smart of him to deliver this encoded message so the league can't directly take him on.

Edit: Oh, wait. I'm seeing the full tweet on Twitter. What a strange throw-in at the end. Gotta love that crazy bastard.

"Jim Irsay joins Sean Payton in being a crying bitch; demands to make league unwatchable because he's a pissboy"

Not sure why anyone thinks it would fix anything. Replay often doesn't get it right. See the "fumble" replay from the Chiefs game Sunday. Clearly not a catch so couldn't be a fumble, but review upheld the call.

If anything, this would give the NFL more levers to pull in their quest for story lines.

Sounds like a great recipe for an NBA-like fan experience, watching a final 2 minutes that are 30 minutes of people standing around

Didn't they challenge calls a few years ago and only like 1 got overturned the whole season?

Unless they can make the review instantaneous it seems like an advantage for the driving team with no timeouts

They should have kept in the pass interference replay at the very least.

Maybe it's because the Chiefs are just good now and we're past the whole "yell about officiating" thing, but I'm at the point to where......it's over officiated and it's a hard gig.

They get them right the vast majority of the time and it's just the human element of it. I think they could dial it back a bit but **** man, it's a hard thing to ask these guys to do. Things happen fast.

Anyone that upset about it, I would recommend they go volunteer to officiate some pee wee football.

Did they overturn any calls? Seemed like they put it in to appease the Saints and once the anger died down bye

I think they put it in for one year and didn’t keep it.

It was an overreaction to one particularly egregious bad call, but you don’t structure the rules around things like that.

The refs seemed determined to sabotage that change. They were successful.

Or a defense that's completely gassed and getting steamrolled.

Cool....now we can miss the entire first half when we play at 325...
