The touchdown/fumble at the goal line wasn't in question, so they quickly reviewed that part and ignored Wright's bat when they went to the booth.

Perhaps the most interesting thing out of this is the old official guy saying "we knew in the booth that the fail mary was wrong right after the game" which is kind of counter to the stance the NFL took afterwords.

The only penalties that can be reviewed are 12 men on the field penalties and that's only to take the flag away, iirc.

Isn't part of the turnover recovery/not recovery and so they'd have to see how it went out of bounds?

Rest of the season for the Lions:

-Cardinals: Carson Palmer throws for 584 yards and the NCAA reinstates USC's 2005 title. Final Cardinals 63 Lions 10
-Bears: Jimmy Claussen throws a ball that gets tipped into the air, off the safety, off the sky cam, off the head official, nothing but fullback in the end zone. Final Bears 7 Lions 0
-Vikings: Golden Tate is trying to run in for the game-winning touchdown when that motorcycle rear end in a top hat drives onto the field and runs him over, Tate ruled down by contact. Final Vikings 17 Lions 14
-Chiefs in London: Chiefs go for a game-winning field goal that looks like it'll be short, but Andy Reid unleashes a bubbles-n-squeak belch so powerful it boosts the ball up and good. Final Chiefs 19 Lions 18
-@ Packers: lmao Final Packers 103 Lions -3
-Raiders: Ameer Abdullah found stabbed to death. Final Raiders 4 Lions 3
-Eagles on Thanksgiving: Chip Kelly called a genius again having waived everyone and signed his entire Oregon team from the 2010 BCS title game, LaMichael James rushes for 258 yards and three scores. Final Eagles 35 Lions 13
-Packers: lmao Final Packers 48103 Lions tilt
-Rams: Matt Stafford abducted by pterodactyl. Final Rams win by forfeit
-Saints: Lance Moore reveals himself as a deep, deep sleeper cell and takes a short pass back for a safety. Final Saints 26 Lions 24
-49ers: That rugby dude kicks a wicked googly or something I dunno I don't know how cricket works. Final 9ers 2 Lions 0
-Bears: William Perry rises from the dead and runs in the winning score, throwing the entire Lions fanbase into his now-empty grave. Final Bears points Lions :suicide:

Lions try to draft Leonard Fournette first so they can run him into the line for 2 yard gains, told he's only a sophomore, forfeit #1 pick, Lions fans say of course why loving not.

This is kind of surprising since Philip has like .03 seconds to throw the ball these days.

Also: Keenan Allen is having an amazing start to the season and no one has mentioned it because Julio Jones and Antonio Brown and AJ Green are monsters

Defense needs a stop in a certain situation and gives up a big first down? Throw the review flag and ask if someone was holding.

You can do only do that a handful of times a game before you are out of challenges. I don't really think it's that big of an issue.

Yes.

Seriously though, besides "it's deeply ingrained in people", what makes the NFL entertaining? It's horribly corporate and generic, and ultimately everything is about some stupid media-driven bullshit that isn't even about the actual game.

I don't care about a league-initiated witch hunt for a star player. I don't care about a grandstanding doofus who only cares about profits but is too dumb to actually create a worthwhile product. And I especially don't care for games that come down to something stupid rather than the actual game and actual teams.

I'd much rather care about college football, where it is at least fun even when your team is bad, and it's awesome when your team is good. Even a bad college football game is fun to go to, and the variety in the teams makes everything interesting and fun. Teams and schools actually have a personality. And, when Michigan plays Michigan State in two weeks, it's most likely going to come down to the actual game on the field, instead of something stupid deciding the outcome to take all fun away.

This I can definitely get behind. I just think judgement calls are still a thing that shouldn't necessarily be reviewable.

I'd also say too many things fall under that blanket though.
