All change is evil.
I worked a chain once for a high school game. Since I was the newby they stuck me at the end. The ref told me where to put the stick and I did what I was told. I was only a couple of years out of high school it was a lot of fun. Sadly they didn't ask for my help again.

I'm confused, why the heck should we trust a "virtual" measurement? Especially if they're not explaining how they're doing the virtual measurement.

Because virtually, they could put the ball in the Playboy Mansion, that doesn't mean the NFL ball carrier carried it to that spot.

So what is marking the ball?

A human? A virtual human? AI? Computer? Is there a chip in the ball? How does the process work? As at the end of the day, someone or something has to choose a virtual spot for the virtual ball...

And how do we know that spot is realistic to what actually happened on the field?

It might be good, but I'm not going to trust it until I see more details, and see how it actually works....

Of course, I don't trust the NFL, I fully believe the NFL has changed rules mid-season, stated the rule has not changed, and ruled it incorrectly to what the stated rulebook says, for like 1.5 years and then updated the rulebook after seeing that it works.

So the NFL doesn't follow the rules... so I don't trust them either.

This does nothing to better the game. It's all about the point spread of the game and where the official places the ball. Put a chip in both in ends of the ball and all doubt will be removed. Just like, it's not how many voted, it's who counts the vote. And why don't they put cameras on the goal line?

There's also the players who place the ball down an arms length further down field. This things can be overcome but the officials along with the IT have to account for them.

The ball/chip crossing the plan would just be a marker for them to review up to.

Outside of scoring plays. I'm just not sure how a chip would would help things.

I would like to see both used side by side. Continue same ole same ole with officials and also use new technology with chip thingy.

Just have the tracker mark where the ball is when the red blew the whistle or a second or two before the whistle is blown.

The physical technology has been there for decades for the NFL to upgrade, they simply have decided not to, as they want control and they can quietly control people more than they can control technology, as people will want access to the technology, where we can't get open and honest interviews from the Refs.

I still say the Fail Mary play and Saints getting screwed in the playoffs against the Rams were directly because the Refs were ordered not to call penalties in the last two minutes, and let the players play.

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
