Please, list some reasons?
For one thing, it gives the team that controls the Jumbotron a rather large advantage.

1) It immediately gives the home team an unfair advantage as its their stadium, and they can control the replays
2) There are certain calls which - by the rule book - are not reviewable. This rule would be broken - as it was last nite.
3) It slows down the game, and changes the tempo of the game for the players.
4) The refs aren't in control of what they see on the jumbotron, ie, which angles are shown in review on the jumbotron, which can lead to a bad call.
5) The game should not be ref'd in slow motion.
6) Watching a replay with the crowd reacting inherently leads to a bias. Again, for the home team.
Exactly what advantages are there? It would be an absolutely nightmare if this became common practice.
I'm sorry, this just isn't correct. They cannot use information gleaned from looking at the Jumbotron or any other replay device unless someone throws a red flag or its inside of two minutes. This isn't in any way controversial. It goes without saying.

No, it does not. At no point in the rulebook does it say they can't look at the jumbotron.
It also doesn't say that people can't perform surgery at the 35-yard line.
Again, a REVIEW is a VERY SPECIFIC THING IN THE RULE BOOK. A Review did not happen on that play. A referees conference did.
AGAIN, THIS WAS NOT A REVIEW.
Mike Florio said:If that’s what Hochuli did, he committed a blatant violation of the rules regarding the use of replay, even if the ultimate decision to penalize McCourty was the right decision. The decision should have been made based on the live action, not based on replay review.
Wasn't there something about a FG try that they glanced at the Jumbotron about and that was a massive controversy because it's not allowed???
This is the problem you are having. It was clear to just about everyone watching the game in person and on TV that the conference was regarding whether or not the pass was incomplete. It was only during Hochuli's announcement that the one official tossed his flag AFTER watching the replay on the Jumbotron.
Also, the rules are very specific that there are only specific instances where you can use a replay to call a penalty. And that is when the replay is part of a Challenge. And even then, there are only specific penalties that can be called (too many men).
I've never seen a penalty called for that.
Apparently, PFT agrees that this is against the rules:
I believe I've heard either the commissioner or Mike Pereira confirm in the past that the officials are absolutely not allowed to use the replay board to influence their calls.
No, they did not. A review is a very specific thing. They didn't do a review.
They must lighten up on inadvertent helmet to helmet hits of receivers....otherwise, mark my words - what is going to happen is a receiver will decide to take one for the team.
Let's say game is on the line 4th and 15 and he gets 14 yards - he lowers his helmet as soon as he sees where the defender is going to hit him and boom - contact and a flag.
Or even more likely and is what is happening now - if the defender lowers himself to hit receiver at waist, but receiver suddenly goes down - how is the defender supposed to pull up at last nano second, while in flight at point of contact??
They MUST change the rule to allow for judgement of intent - even if it does mean using a replay.
Again, all of this (in the rulebook) specifically refers to the REPLAY HOOD. They did not use the replay hood.
There is absolutely nothing in the rulebook that refers to the jumbotron/scoreboard, or replays outside the hood.
if they looked at the replay on the jumbotron to make the call then they reviewed the play, what part of the word review do you not understand???
When the refs got under the hood they look at video footage to review a play, they use video footage to determine if their live decision was correct or not and whether to change it on or not, there are only a limited selected amount of plays that can be looked at again using video footage, a penalty is not on the list . . .
bottom line the refs can not use video footage (regardless of the location) to change or to help make a call if it not one of the few enurated plays, what part of this concept do you not understand??
simple question Synovia.
In your opinion what do the following words in the NFL lexicon mean "Reviewable" and "non-reviewable"
you know my definition of those two NFL words, what is your definition of those two NFL words??
