The biggest change to how the game is played might come from New York. A Competition Committee proposal would have the officiating command center consult with the referee during replay reviews. This falls short of fully centralized reviews -- which would be conducted solely in New York, an idea that most coaches do not like, Lewis said, because they prefer to hear explanations directly from the referee on the field -- but the proposal might help eliminate what Lewis said were three or four instances of the review being judged incorrectly by the referee on the field and improve the consistency of all reviews. The added advantage, Lewis and Mara said: the time for replays could decrease with the extra pair of eyes. Mara wonders if the league is eventually heading in the direction of the college system, where reviews are done in the press box. The concern that has held up that consideration, Mara said, has long been whether the league has 16 people who are capable of doing the job up there for each game.
