Heres a good way to take advantage of the challenge penalty - insanefalconfan - 11-22-2012 09:22 PM
If we get in the situation at the end of the game that we score a Touchdown to win the game that could be overturned we should just throw are own challenge flag take the penalty and take the 15 yards...

Interesting, I wonder if we will see the challenge flag used as a defensive measure. I hope we do, it's the quickest way to get that stupid rule changed.

It won't work. The review is only cancelled if the call on the field went against the team that commits the penalty by throwing the flag. So in this instance, you'd just get the penalty but the call would still be reviewed.

The league is already leaking to the media that this rule is going to be changed. Peter King just said it point blank on NBC.

Apparently it only negates the review if your team can benefit from it.....
in our game the review still occurred in today's game they cancelled the review....
The right answer is review it and then enforce a 15 yard penalty.......
I still don't get why it is unsportsmanlike conduct to throw a challenge flag....

It's stupid. Like it really is that hard for the ref to say, "sorry coach you can't challenge that".
God forbid we waste 5 seconds, after all we have 4 more minutes of commercials to get in before the next play.

The day a ref determines to not follow protocol is the day the NFL will lose many followers.

Yeah, it's definitely not the referees fault, except for the ridiculously bad blown call on the TD yesterday.

I dont think people are condemning the refs, just the rule they have to follow
