I don’t think we need it. Maybe the “football scientists” are concentrating on a technology to make safer helmets instead of wasting time and resources on creating some type of gadget to let us be able to see something that is only an issue on less than 1/10th of one percent of all plays.

Yes, because if it were active during the Bills run, they might have won one of those Super Bowls.

It would make it way to hard to manipulate the games momentum (fix) with no human “error” to cover.

Oh, wait.

Why is that?

That way, if the ball is lost in the pile, and they can see the knees. They can match up the knee (or whatever) to when the buzzer signaled the ball crossed the plane.

Don’t see how it would make it any worse if that’s how they use it.

A lot of times in the NFL, it’s not only about the ball crossing the plane, but whether or not the receiver/runner has possession of the ball as it is crossing the plane.

Having a sensor only solves a fraction of the problem (even though I really don’t see it as a big problem at all).

Since they review TD’s anyway, and it’s really not THAT hard to tell if the ball crossed the plain or not, kind of a non issue. Glad they got it in soccer since they don’t have time fore replays like we do in football

this would only solve plays such as vinny testaverde’s phantom qb sneak td against seattle in the late 90s

I think overall they should leave it as-is. I am sick of this world getting so perfect that its no longer entertaining. Sometimes little things like the drama of it all can be fun.

The Seattle/Pack game got more people talking about the NFL this year than any other game. Why change that?

The ball has to break the plane, but the ball and sensors do not know if a player was down before or after he broke the plane, so they’d have to go to review anyways and come up with the same results as simply ignoring the technology and going to review regardless.

Therefore, it is cheaper and more time efficient to just review it and not make the extra step that will need to be reviewed anyways.

Soccer doesn’t. I would say NFL is more fair than soccer when it comes to results, but again, soccer does not stop.

The kick off and it’s play till 45min.

Any part of the ball has to break the plain of the endzone. In FIFA, the entire ball has to cross.

Most sensible people would hold the NFL up as bastions of techno-wizardry compared to ‘real’ football…
