I enjoy football, but there's too much human error at times

Yeah I was talking about Grossman. The defender picked it up and had a straight path to the end zone.

That's why I don't watch the NFL. I just play Cyberball 2072 and it takes the human error out of the equation. In fact, the losing team is punished by death rays at the end of the game.

I'd be okay with that.

And one other thing, why is it on instant replays, the referee has to go watch the call. Why don't they just make it so that the replay official upstair makes the call. It would save SO much time. And it would prevent refs upholding bad calls just so they don't look bad with their original call (I'm convinced this is the reason for the horibble officiating in the the Pac-10). And why can't "judgement" calls be reviewed?

I would disagree with the NFL having more human error than any other sport. Baseball hasn't used instant replay for anything. Next year they will begin to use it, but ONLY for homeruns and fair/foul balls. That still leaves so much human error. Balls/Strikes, Safe/Out, Catch/Trap, etc. A lot of game changing moments there.

Thats how it is done in college. And you still end up with replay review like

I completely agree. There's nothing worse than watching your game get blown by a bunch of slow, out of shape 60 year old men.

Exactly...I hate when my human WR drops the ball, or my human DB misses a tackle...

I wish everyone was a robot instead. All hail our robot overlords!

You obviously haven't watched much of the NBA.
