When obvious calls are miss, they should be suspended. Otherwise, I suspect the games are fixed.

The Packers/Seahawks call was inside 2 minutes and the booth official did make the call. Otherwise it was a good comment.

That’s about it. And their roles are rather limited, TDs, turnovers and under 2minutes before half, end of game and overtime.

the field Ref still walks over to the monitor, watches and makes the decision. If the replay booth official made the decision to overturn or let stand, you would think the NFL wouldn’t have let the Packers/Seahawks MNF debacle occur. the Replay Booth Official was an NFL guy not a ref.

What you’re suggesting is more like NCAA. The booth replay person who’s onsite does the ruling.
