One challenge per half, or two challenges per game.
Within those two challenges, a coach should also be allowed to challenge a penalty that was not called.
When NFL referees get trigger happy and throw their yellow hankies on to the field at critical moments in games when they should not, coaches should be allowed to challenge those calls.

How many times have you seen a flag thrown on a phantom penalty in the NFL? It happens every single week.
How many times have you NOT seen a flag that should have been thrown on a penalty that is blatantly obvious? It happens every single week.
Sometime referees get their calls wrong, and replay has proven that to be a fact.
Sometimes referees also get their penalty calls wrong as well, but there is no remedy?
