If we go back and fix all the missed calls on the play, it is off setting penalties, replay the down.
yeah, donald does get fouled.
it’d have to be replayed.
and payton needs five fingers across the face.
No, replay doesn’t work like that. The challenge is for a specific thing. New things can’t enter into it. So the challenge in this case would be whether or not there was PI on the play. They couldn’t identify the hands to the face on Peat or whoever was holding Brockers.
They could, however, identify the tipped ball because that would directly relate to whether there was PI or not. Since the ball apparently was not tipped, a challenge would have resulted in PI. The other penalties are not subject to review.
However…if a coach can challenge a Non-Call, then what would stop McVay from throwing a challenge on the hands to the face (which was more flagrant than the hold)?
Now that I think about it, I would think that if the rule changes, it would be to challenge a penalty call, not a Non-Call. That would be problematic…since there is a penalty on almost every single play. Yeah…I bet if there is a rule change, it would be to allow a coach to challenge a Call. You can’t have them challenging Non-Calls. That would be a nightmare.
So even if they change the rule, the rule change they adopt wouldn’t have helped the Saints anyway. That’s my guess.
