Default The red flag

What was that all about? Since when can a coach ask to have a penalty that wasn't called be reviewed? If they had called 12 men on the field, and a coach throws the flag so that they can review if there really were 12 men on the field, that would be one thing. To throw the flag and ask that a penalty be called because the refs missed it, is another. If that's a reviewable play, then any penalty that wasn't called should be reviewable. You'll be seeing flags on almost every play because somewhere there is always a hold or hit or something that the refs don't call. The NFL needs to change this rule immediately, or risk the chance of alienating everyone from watching a game. I'm just glad that it didn't cost the Giants the game. I wish the Rams had thrown a few more flags during their SB against the Pats. I still think that game was rigged combined with the Pats using their unfair advantage. And now that someone has evidence of it, just ********es me off even more.
