With all this improving the calls talk I would love to see a debate concerning the "RED FLAG". I HATE THE WANKING RED FLAGS.....THEY RUIN THE GAME.
How many times those flags ruin a last gasp drive...or for the better QB's like Brady they can kill 1 long and 1 short drive to score 10 to win or tie. Too many times this year teams only had 1 or 2 timeouts to go with the game on the line....which led to bolder passing and less thrilling drives to pull even or go ahead.
The RED FLAGS need to go....add a replay official or something. The RED FLAGS ruin the momentum of the game at usually crucial times. In fact...all this officals scrutiny ruins the flow of the game.
Add a replay official or two and do it the old fashioned way...make a bad call and then make it up later, if warranted of course. Refs knew back then they could make up a bad call...now it's much harder with all the replay scrutiny.
The old-time QB's would be very bold when they knew they had a call or two coming their way. The old-time refs were very good at letting the boys play or evening up the calls except for blatant infractions....the game was better then....Sometimes going backwards is better than going forwards.
If the old-time method was in use during the SB those bad calls would have been evened out later...except for the blatant calls I repeat...not saying Seattle would have won...I'm just saying that those old games had some great finishes and more close games.
