They need to get it right, but all the iPads and headsets and bullshit that each league uses is a ridiculous waste of time, especially when you know there's a good chance a play is going to result in a replay.

It might still kill the buzz for a minute, but at least they'd get it right and there's no need to sit around for 5 minutes or more.

So if the Chiefs were in the same situation in the SB up 2 with 1 sec left you think the optimal play is to kick the XP instead of kneel? Explain please.

Literally no one was stressed that the XP was going to be blocked and then returned for points. That's the dumbest shit I've heard in awhile.

It's dumb you think it was wise to kick it.

What a game it had been!! Comes down to 4th and goal at the 1 and half with ND clinging to a 4 point lead 3 seconds on the clock.OSU runs it, dives into the EZ breaking the plane on the last play!! Bucks win 16-14!!!

Just a few short years ago the fans would have been running onto the field in a state of euphoria as OSU walks off a great top 10 matchup. It's pandemonium....but nahhhh.

We as fans in bars, parties, our living rooms and at the stadium were forced to just sit there for 7 or 8 minutes while the officials dissected every frame of the final play like it was footage of the Kennedy assassination. And as ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS(see Jets Pats today) there is miraculously 1 second on the clock.

Now they have to kick the XP. Unimaginable that Ryan Day the head coach of a top NCAA program in the country DOES NOT KNOW THE RULES!!! Should have kneeled because kicking it has nothing to gain and everything to lose. If it is blocked and returned they could lose the game! With 1 sec left and your team kicking off there is no difference from being up 2 or 3.

So now all the OSU fans are more stressed about that scenario, except for OSU bettors. After more commercials they come back for the kickoff. ND attempts a crazy lateral play that fails and the game is finally over. But by that time the whole experience of that all time great game was ruined. As OSU fans we weren't excited and joyful like we were when OSU scored on the "final play" We were just aggravated people saying"Can you believe what these fn refs put us through" By the time the clock got to 0:00 there was no joy left, just aggravation and relief.

Crap like this is killing the game of football.

Think that's bad? Try enjoying the first half of a blowout Chiefs game, and then the network switches the telecast to a Cardinals-Cowboys game at halftime.
