What do you think if revamping the instant replay rule? For me,I Never liked that replays were linked to time outs.I thought a team should have three replay challenges a half, just like time outs. If a team loses the review, they just lost a review , not a time out.I do like the automatic review in the last 2 minutes. How about you?Do you like the instant replay rule the way it is now or would you change it?And if you want to change it, how would you change it?

I like that, have a limit on the number of replays. They linked the replays to the timeouts to keep teams from overusing the timeouts and breaking up the rhytm of the game. It definitely needs a fix. I think that the officials should be able to call a replay anytime they want. They are human, they might need an extra look to get it right. If they do it too often, the League can mark them down. The officials get graded anyway, so just add that to the grading criteria. That will keep officials from using replay as a crutch instead of having confidence in their calls. Also, if a team uses up all its replay shots and there is still a questionable call, it can get reviewed. The point is to get the calls right, not keep to some artificial time schedule of games.

That is similar to how hockey handles replay.First every game has a guy in the booth and a guy at their headquarters in Toronto. When there is any question of a goal there is a immediate review. They call down to the refs. Hockey teams only get one time out a game so they could never link it to time outs.There are not too many reviews in a game and it doesn't take that long either. The longest I remember waiting for a review was 5 minutes.

a team should get to challenge a play even if they don't have any timeouts left. we all saw why in the eagles and falcons
