They need to make penalties a challengable part of the game. It wouldn't slow anything down, and the coaches still have a limit to how many times they can challenge.

This would be especially useful in many instances where pass interference is called, and in a TON of instances where the official thinks he sees leading with the helmet when it is actually a clean shoulder hit in reality.

The quality of officiating has been going downhill for quite some time. Its devolved so badly that we have teams getting extra downs due to the Herm Edwards-esque ineptness of some of these officiating crews.

The game is fast, and its a difficult job. If the officials need the replay system to get the game right, then use it. To have a game be turned on a bullshit call, or a non-call is the most infuriating thing about being a sports fan.

In a game of inches, anyone who says that a bad call by the officials is no big deal needs to take their head out of their ass. If you have a unit that is struggling, and they get a stop on a powerhouse offense like Manning's, only to have a bad call give that offense a fresh set of downs, that's a huge, crushing play against that defense.

Anyone with half a functioning brain cell knows that the more chances you give to a guy like Manning, the lower your chances of winning becomes.

Calling officials out on their suck ass performances doesn't make you a bad fan. It makes you a fan who wants to see the game called correctly. If these guys cant do the job, and Im not saying its an easy job by any means, but if they cant do the job they don't need to be on an NFL crew.
