Major rule change

Offensive and defensive pass interference calls and non-calls can now be challenged.

Oh boy, here we go. A reaction to the NFC Championship game, perhaps? That BS non call against the Saints ruffled a lot of feathers.

Cost the Saints a SB. I think we all can agree, even some Patriots fans might admit that if the Saints would have won that game the Patriots probably lose the SB.

Oh definitely in response to the NFC game
If it's just added to the challenge rule I think it's good
Also , I guess if it happens in the last 2 minuets , it'll be up to the booth

Will the booth overturn calls by refs on the field... Doubt it... Unless it blatantly egregious

The non-call against the Saints should never happen. And there are tons of BS PI calls that get called that should be overturned. It's gotten to the point where players ask for PI on every play. It's ridiculous.

Good. I have wanted this for a long time. The idiot refs have been blowing calls for years with no consequences.

As long as the process is quick. Don’t take forever to make these decisions. Give it a quick look and keep the game moving. But yes, I agree that PI has gotten to the point where CB’s cannot play aggressively anymore without getting flagged.

It;s a good move and it's no doubt thanks to the Pats stealing the Superbowl win from the Saints, and the many other poor calls throughout the season, but, I agree with Brick in that I also hope it doesn't slow the game down excessively.

You should be able to challenge anything, even the coin toss, remembering that there has to be conclusive evidence to overturn. BUT challenges should only come from the coaches at the risk of a timeout, not from the 'booth'. That's how you avoid excessive delay.

don't forget the roughing the brady call vs KC(or any game really) where no one touched him. I'm sure that will still be allowed and unchallengeable. I was hoping the big rule change would be that players were allowed to hit brady now. oh well. I'm glad they are doing this. too many mess ups changing games

Great point. The Pats likely lose that game without that phantom roughing the passer call. The fans need to call BS on those plays, and the league needs to hear it. Here's another provocative opinion - I think the Pats dynasty ends this year. No Gronk, mediocre receivers, no Trey Flowers, an average defense at best, and an aging Brady. My belief is that this is the year where we see Brady's skills really start to decline. He's in great shape, but reflexes slow down, it takes longer to heal at his age, and this team doesn't have the talent it did in years past. I also think the league love affair with the Patriots ended last year and in this offseason - lowest rated Super Bowl of all time, and the Kraft scandal. Not a good look. Put all that together and you get the end of the dynasty. That's my prediction.

And at the time of us finally getting a decent QB, a young and hungry team, some decent FA additions, and a new coaching and team philosophy?,,,, fate? good timing? Coincidence?
oh I sure as shit hope so.

I'm not counting any chickens, but I hope you're right. remember though, combined record without brady is 14-6. 11-5 and 3-1

it takes longer to heal at that age? from what? no one is allowed to touch him

I want to beat them while brady is still there. I want to be the reason he retires

they have won so many games because of BS calls. Steelers playoff couple years back was huge too

I agree that is the more favorable option, but as long as he is gone I will be happy.

Again. they are 14-6 without him. If belichick is still there, I don't think they will miss brady as much as everyone thinks. although right now they have no replacement really

At least they rejected the seriously stupid option, the 4th and 15 'kickoff'. If only they would stop meddling and let the game be.

Also the latest change to OT, where both sides have to have a possession. If you don't want OT, play to win.
