Since its invention, the NFL has found more and more ways to incorporate replay into games. All under the mantra of “getting the call right” but it comes at the tradeoff of football games – inherently a pretty segmented game – slowing down even more. That’s why Art Rooney II and the Pittsburgh Steelers have been against the Baltimore Ravens’ “eye in the sky” rule proposal that would’ve played a sky judge in the press box to correct any egregious errors by the officiating staff.
Rooney said he wasn’t necessarily against the idea in principle but believed there were other redundant aspects of replay that could’ve been eliminated.
