It's not just you. I can't stand it.
I have said this before, you grow up as a kid, into pop warner, to high school and college playing football outside, then in you go pro and play inside

Does anyone know why penalty calls (like the phantom holding call on the pick off return by the Chargers) are not "reviewable...?

what a break for Indy, the clocked stopped at 2:01, no 2 min warning until the next snap. They get an extra TO!

That was a judgment call by the official. Judgment calls are not reviewable. Something like twelve men on the field is reviewable.

No, I know which are reviewable and which aren't. My question is why are those calls not reviewable? Especially, when they (more often than not) can seriously effect the outcome of a game...

Game is not even close to being over. If Indy holds them from a 1st down they will get the ball back around mid field.

Unfortunately, I would have to repeat what I said. You have to keep those types of calls consistent.

I'd have to agree. So many times penalty calls are BS, and teams lose over them.

And another thing I hate is the "prevent" defense. Why can't a team just use the same defense that got them to the point of winning.

That it was a judgment call. If there were replays on all those types of calls, the flow of the game would stop and it will become as slow as baseball.

Philip Rivers is a classless act.

He needs to shut his mouth.

If anyone has Tivo or a DVR rewind it and read Phillip Rivers lips right after Clark dropped that ball.
He said... (I think...) <b>"We're going to the Superbowl"</b>
I will be sending a copy of that tape to Bill Belichick and the boys...

He looks and acts like Ryan Leaf.
