Bill Parcells was always against the use of instant replay, not because he was against changing incorrect calls, but because of the extra responsibility it forced on head coaches. This is a perfect example of the absurdity.

There are other instances when you cannot challage and when the coach throws the flag they simply pick it up and say the play was not challangeable. Why the double penalty in this scenario for something that I consider extremely insignificant. The purpose of instant replay is to make the right call.
