How do we feel about this new rule proposed by the Lions?


Personally I’m indifferent on it; It takes away some of the risk of challenging calls but also keeps the referees in check.

  1. I like it.

    It never made sense that getting a challenge right could mean that you potentially lost the challenge.

    It vaguely reminds me of the new challenge rule in baseball where you essentially get to challenge until you lose a challenge.

  2. I hope the lions get a better replay team. They were terrible last year. Challenging stuff that would obviously stand

  3. I think as long as you win your challenge you should continue to get more. It’s not the team’s fault they have to correct the officials fuck up.

  4. Good because if Dan Campbell has one flaw it is the fact he sucks at challenges

  5. Seems like a no-brainer. I want the right calls to be made.

    (And challenges have been a rare weakness for MCDC and this staff, so hopefully this mitigates that a bit)

  6. I like the UFL rule. If I understand it correctly, coaches can make as many challenges as they want until they get two wrong. So once you lose two challenges in a game, you can no longer challenge calls for the rest of the game. This a step towards that direction so it works for me

  7. Not sure why we proposed it because this hypothetical is contingent on MCDC getting a challenge right lol

  8. There was never a reason for it not to be like this in the first place. In fact I could argue that you should get 2 to start, and should always get a replacement for any successful challenge – so no limit if you’re right.
