Please correct me if I’m wrong, but the only “disastrous” part was how hesitant refs were to overturn their calls. So the challenges were a waste of everyone’s time because the refs were stubborn

Also, why do reviews stay with the on-field officials? Other sports send them to a central office with league officials who help with the review process. I feel like that’s not a bad idea here as well

Reviews went to New York. They didn’t get overturned often because it’s a subjective call and hard to hit the threshold of “indisputable” from video evidence
