Wait. Can we stop the game and go back to what Mike Pereira just said? There's a "boundary cam" (AN ANGLE STRAIGHT DOWN THE SIDELINE) that CAN'T be used for coaches challenges, but CAN be used for automatic scoring challenges? What?!?! - ThreadSky

That fact that there are not multiple cameras dedicated to side lines, goal lines, and the first down line has always blown my mind.

gi-joe-buscemi.bsky.social•213 days ago

Every stadium not have a boundary cam is baffling in and of itself

baseball-buj.bsky.social•213 days ago

Yeah that seemed like some serious bullshit

jekjr27.bsky.social•213 days ago

This has been an issue for years. The TV networks dictate the number of cameras and angles available and NFL just allows it. With the $$$ involved, there should be equal cameras for every game.

hogesncary.bsky.social•213 days ago

That seems screwed up.

sol76.bsky.social•213 days ago

I loved the "it wouldn't be fair because not all stadiums have it". So it's fair to not overturn a bad call?

leonpresco.bsky.social•213 days ago

The NFL is dumb lol

stever21.bsky.social•213 days ago

Crazy. This league is worth billions. Get the cameras and technology in every stadium. Period.

beermoneyvic.bsky.social•213 days ago

NFLs replay is so damn awful.

aztecdeathwhistl3.bsky.social•213 days ago

His explanation was “Every team doesn’t have it so, boo hoo, it’s not fair.”
Billionaire owners and cheapness go hand in hand

chitownfanboy.bsky.social•213 days ago

Only the NFL would be that dumb.

There’s a hugely physical sport in Ireland which is played at 100mph between 2 teams of 15 players on a pitch 50yds longer than an nfl one, & 1 referee is tasked with more or less all decisions. In real time. With no video help or replays. Oh and he must keep the score also. And the time.

Imagine.

I need an explanation of this rule, the description on tv can't possibly be right.

Also, how do some stadiums not have those angles???

the3rdleonard.bsky.social•212 days ago

Not all stadiums having that cam angle is the answer to why they don't use it.

timmyfullapple.bsky.social•213 days ago

And not ever stadium has a boundary cam! What is the NFL doing

benjin006.bsky.social•213 days ago

I'm just shocked Soldier Field has cameras that others stadiums don't

can-o-cheese.bsky.social•213 days ago

Unbelievable

jhitt81.bsky.social•212 days ago

I think everyone watching was dumbfounded by that info.

radiomaverick24.bsky.social•213 days ago

I hope that was explained poorly otherwise.....yikes.

revkevdev.bsky.social•213 days ago

And why can’t a multibillion $$ corporation like the NFL get sideline cameras in Every Stadium!?!?

onlytwomonkeys.bsky.social•213 days ago

You and and Jahns need to do a Hardy Boys road trip and get to the bottom of this fuckery.

gratefuladam.bsky.social•213 days ago

Why does it matter that other stadiums don’t have it? So stupid

purpurite.bsky.social•212 days ago

The excuse used was "fair for everyone" which is fine for both teams in the same game. To ignore a technological ability to get the call correct in Chicago because a Monday night game in Los Angeles might not have as many cameras is asinine. That's fine for sideline heaters, but what the hell #NFL?

pinkston.bsky.social•213 days ago

Great system to get things right when you ignore technology to get it right

kinglouie5.bsky.social•213 days ago

The dumbest shit.

ashwin3.bsky.social•213 days ago

Meanwhile, the NFL keeps growing their pocketbook by selling rights to more streamers/networks and charging their users more to watch their product. Gotta love it, eh?
