So Snead noted that Belichex
and others have proposed that
Coaches should be allowed to challenge
penalties. (the Jared Cook call, the Eugene Sims call)

It wouldnt add more challenges,
it would just allow coaches to risk
a challenge on a penalty call.

Snead was for the change, and said
“I understand the purists and traditionalists
view, but lets get it right…”

I think I agree with Snead.

Opinions?

Everything should be up for a challenge. And get rid of the silly *2 challenges per half and if you’re wrong you lose a timeout* nonsense.

Give every coach 4 challenges per game. Whether they get it right or wrong is irrelevant. Once you use up your 4, you’re done. Even if the coach gets all of them right.

That PI call on Cook lost the game. It was at a minimum a 10 point swing, probably a 14 point swing.

If the league is all about fairness and getting calls right they should absolutely allow for coach challenges.

This will not help with non-calls but at least it’s a move in the right direction. The refs have proven to be either incompetent or corrupt. They need to be challenged.

Strange season. As bad as the Rams have
looked, if you could ‘correct’ two penalty calls
(Sims, Cook) the rams,
likely would be
be 3-2.

i was livid on the Cook call and I do believe that it was pivotal. but every call that went against the RAMS you can redflag those against SF too….. I mean J. Jenkins grabbed Crabtree in the 4th and nothing was called.

but until the RAMS get and hit the QB, the RAMS won’t win many games… the Rams lost because Kapernick passed for 343 yards to 8 different receivers who were constantly wide open because there is no pressure on the QB.

Well about 75 of those yards should never
ever have happened.
