set up the way instant replay is done.
Now that it looks like instant replay is here to stay, I have a problem with it and the amount of cameras involved.
If the game is being televised nationally there are more cameras as you know on the ball and players, whereas games that are just being televised for areas and opponents.
What I see that isn't fair here is, when a play it being scrutinized on national coverage there are more camera angles to look at which makes instant replay not fair to the other teams with less cameras coverage.
When isn't it fair? If a team loses a game because of the lack of good camera coverage from instant replay and therefore loses their shots for the playoffs or when another team wins an instant replay challenge because of national coverage and it puts them in the playoffs by one game. This is even more so today because teams are becoming more competitive through the cap and the team it creates. The cap is creating a situation that is controlling the quality of players per team. More and more teams are learning how to live with in the cap, so in the future a lot of teams will be a one game difference between playoffs and not a playoff spot.
So there should be a designated amount of cameras at each game to make it an even playing field and those cameras should only be the ones used. Or if there is national coverage and they are using 20 different camera angles, than those same type of cameras set up, should be at all the games that day, another answer could be, there could be team camera setups or stadium camera setups that are designated for instead replay only. I just don't see the system the way it set up today to be fair especially in the future as teams become equal in personnel, which is going to happen.
I don't know if Ralph Wilson along with any other owner would be willing to put out the money that this type of system would create, if they vote to keep replay as it is, then they should be willing to make it in even playing field at every game and have only certain cameras utilized for a replay.
There was a game this year that we lost a challenge because there wasn't enough cameras on the game. Where an almost same play that day, on another team on national TV won their challenge because of national coverage.
GO!!!...BUFFALO!!!...
