    But the NFL doesn't want that. They always want a human element able to change the course of the game. Same with the MLB with reports of the robo zone not being considered for the majors.
    I don't think there can be enough cameras to find the ball in a pile of humanity on some of those goal line plays.

    Those will be IDFK plays even with that system. They'll never add sensors though. Using cameras would be a middle ground.

    Also irks me how when a punt goes out of bounds, its essentially the ref running up to where he thinks it went out of bounds. Theres no way a ref at the end zone can see where that ball went out of bounds and be accurate.

    As far as punts go the ref running up the field is using the assist from another ref who was near the kick and they are working together. I still think that is also a terrible fucking system and makes me wonder how many hidden yards are gained or lost by such a stupid system.

    2 games 2 TDs for Shaheed. I dunno much about that rookie but damn he's making an instant impact on this team.

    Finally getting Hill involved in catching passes. Saints have had some huge plays and three great drives (one ending in a terrible INT by Dalton).

    Here we go yet another play that could use chips in the ball to help the camera. Because holy crap that was close. It sure looked like the ball was being jarred loose before it crossed. Really close.

    Oh hey, a weird goal line play that we only have one partially blocked camera angle of the ball.

    Wow that missed low block call, that makes it sting even more.

    Cameras and human judgement are all we need to get the right call. Oh wait.

    Saints have to win so they can fulfill the dynasty of beating every bird team in a single season.

    The problem with Dalton and the Saints is when they go in 2 minute situations or trailing with little time left on the clock then you hardly see the ball in Kamara and Taysom Hill's hands.

    Nice 5 TD game from Dalton. Didn't know you were allowed to score points on Thursdays.

    5 TDs and a field goal taken away from the Saints on his first INT. Great game.
