Let's see how they enforce it. My guess is coached better have clear cases or they lose a valuable challenge and time out. I think all plays should be reviewable (OL holding too), but any judgment call will get tremendous scrutiny to be over turned in my opinion.


I do see a potential issue of both teams challenging the same play. How many times have you seen a Holding or PI call made against a defense for example, only to see on replay the receiver was the one guilty. What to they do if they review it and reverse a defensive PI call, then the opposing coach can throw the flag for the offensive PI as his coaches get 3 to 5 minutes to look at in detail.

You can almost envision a scenario where it becomes perpetual challenge flags, challenging the challenge of a challenge until it devolves to the point everyone forgets the original reason for the original flag.. Five hours later the game continues and the second play of the game commences.. 
"Oh wait..what were we arguing about?" 
Part of me agrees with MB on this..just let them play the damned game instead of letting it devolve into one big game of litigation, but on the other hand I simply do not inherently trust the league to make the right calls. There's always going to be the sneaking hunch that the league is going to make calls that puts the favored team ahead of actually making the correct call. Every call can potentially be questioned and every controversial call in particular will be litigated endlessly on youtube videos. Opinions are like a**holes. Everyone has one and everyone's stinks.
