Should penalties be able to be challenged in the NFL?

Penalties are whats part of the game. Thats what makes it interesting. This would be the same thing as taking an umpire from behind the plate and just just having a computer make all the strikes and balls calls. A little error from the umps/refs is part of the game. Like in baseball you have to make adjustments to the strike zone. In football if they aren't calling holding on tamba hali hell just keep holding him. Making adjustments to the games is the difference between wins and loses. good teams and bad teams.

That's a good take, human error is indeed part of the game and important to it's success. I'm not suggesting non-calls be reviewable. (but it would probably eventually end up that way if calls were.) But blatant errors should be able to be corrected. I dunno...
