As one guy said (more or less): "I'm willing to suffer a few blown calls to increase my enjoyment of the game, because right now, it's really hard to get truly excited when a great play ahppens because I need to wait for a flag, and then wait for the replay review to confirm"
I hadn't thought of it that way. I'm a strong proponent of replay review, so maybe I'm biased. I'm willing to wait a bit to "get it right", but maybe they have a point?

That is interesting. Case in point: week 1 against SD. Chiefs in OT drive down and goal to go, Smith runs the ball in on an option. Because of the review, I was forced to hold my breath through a commercial break to see the result/outcome of the game. It certainly takes some of the pizazz out of the game
