I didn't watch the video, so I don't know if that company perfected the art, but **** yes it should be, as long as it cant get in anyone's eyes and distract them.

We wouldn't want things to be too clear. Questionable ball placements and measurements are better.

If you are at the game all you have to do is look for the bright orange down markers...like we have for years. The reason they are so helpful on TV is we can not see the down markers.
Totally not needed if you ask me. |

Yeah, I don't think they're needed either. But most people on PFT seem to think they're a great idea.

You will see a lot more fumbles as players stretch with the ball to get a first down. At the goal line this isn't as much of an issue since it is a TD once the ball breaks the plane. I think it would hurt the quality of the game.

Then we can just put something in the ball that lets you know if it crosses the line. Like a dog shock collar without the shock.
I see both sides. But, anything that makes the game easier for the refs is better for the game, because they are consistently terrible. |

Don't complain when you get what you ask for. You'll be regretting this decision after the first player trips over it and gets a concussion.

"First down chains could be eliminated. This could shorten the game while adding extra time for commercials"
Because that is what the NFL needs. More commercials. |

I've thought for a few years they should put RFID chips in the tips of the ball. It wouldn't be foolproof, but it would allow for more precision than the status quo.
