Default Considering Every TD is Automatically Reviewed, Should Refs Award TD on close plays?

Should the refs if its close simply award a TD? For example if someone is maybe tackled at the 2 or 1 yard line after a long run or pass, but its close i think at this point it should just be a TD, and if its not no big deal, just move it back


also, coaches should be able to challenge a TD even after reviewed if they still do not agree with the call, which i think was an issue in the jags game with MJD

As the system currently works, heck no.

Case in point: a play where the play clearly SHOULD have been flagged for review—the runner was very, VERY close to going OOB around the 2 (I think he did, in fact)—was left to stand b/c the person responsible for flagging it didn't see any need to review it.

With all these plays being replayed, why do we have any refs in the first place?

So that the NFL can directly influence the outcome of games.

Are you seriously suggesting someone tackled at the 2 yardline should be awarded a touchdown?

i initially had the same thought. but after thinking about it for a while, you cannot do that because if there is not enough video evidence to overturn, the tie goes to the initial call on the field. that was unfairly benefit the offense

Just a quick question, it is only reviewed if the call on the field is a TD and then the coaches have no chance to challenge. But if it is not called a TD then it is up to the coach to challenge the call.

Also true.

They say they are reviewing them all, but I don't think they are. There were several TDs that were questionable but there was no delay before the PAT. Darren Sproles comes to mind.

That is insane. Calls should always be made with an ernest attempt to get it right the first time.

Why would a coach challenge something where they'll simply look at the same video again. If they've made their ruling on the call once, they will never change it.
