Is instant replay a good thing?

Anyone else think that instant replay is completely wrecking the NFL? I mean, there were two challenges in the final minute of the first half of the NFC game, and the players were clamoriong for another one. Isn't that excessive? And then in the late game, the Raiders challenged a four yard pass? And what's even worse is that it doesn't even cover all instances where the refs screwed up, such as the Giants-49ers game or on any play where the refs rule a player down by contact. It completely messes up the flow of the game, and the refs are now too hesitant to make a call, instead letting instant replay do the job for them. There is no momentum anymore when any play can be called back when looked at in 10x slow motion. It's rediculous, and it definately isn't football. Let the players play and the refs make calls, but don't let five minutes under the tent decide a play. Your thoughts?

Edit: changed title because of screw up

BAH! Your poll question is different from your thread Question!

I would've voted Yes if I didn't assume that it was the same as your title :eek:

who cares about momentum??

the refs need to stop f***ing up games. but somehow with the instant replay they can still f*ck teams. it's happened twice this season.



Dudd edited the poll answers. Results are meaningless

Deleting and adding new questions so the poll looks better, and gets the outcome he is looking for.

Sorry to everyone that voted, first time posting a poll and obviously screwed up. I changed it so everyone that votes from now on won't make mistakes.

You killed the poll and erased everyones vote

Just make a new thread with the same original title "Is Instant replay ruining the NFL" and make it
the same question for the poll

slows down the game too much

makes me wonder when they will switch to some sort of infared strike zone in basball and use a chip inside of the ball to recog it

Do you actually watch how many bad calls are made by reffs these day's :confused:? It would be a crime not to have instant replay.
