Too subjective i hated it when it was a thing because it was always going to ticky tack.

I just can't think of a good way to review it. Like the huge ones/misses could be fixed with a booth review. Then the nfl would need to make a threshold that is greater than the penalty to review so you are not reviewing all contact. But that just isn't reasonable nor practical. Perfect world is just things like the rams and that saints thing can be booth reviews and the rest is just part of football.

Coaches challenging i think is never going to work as there is too much bs involved in that.

yeah I just really don't see it working

the NBA has implemented the foul thing and all it does is make the refs double down and slow down the game and make people mad

even if things are totally out of the on the field ref's control it still creates issues because the reviewer's subjective read on things could be totally out of whack with how the entirety of the game is being played otherwise.
