Expanded replay isn't coming to the NFL. (USATSI)

PHOENIX -- Numerous proposals were submitted by NFL teams to expand instant replay before the 2015 NFL season but don't expect them to get pushed through.

Prior to a press conference from the Competition Committee the NFL issued a formal statement from the Committee on its stance towards instant replay.

"The Committee does not support the extension of the Instant Replay system to include a review of penalties," the statement read. "Not only would it be a significant philosophical adjustment, the Committee believes it would have unforeseen negative effects for on-field officiating."

The Committee also pointed out that replay "was not intended to replace the subjective judgment of an on-field official with the subjective judgment of a replay official."

In other words, the NFL doesn't want replay to focus on subjective calls like pass interference, 

"We've looked at a lot of tape this offseason," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. "We've looked at fouls, particularly on hits to defenseless players. We could not agree on a number of them. That's just a nature on the standard in replay."

Fisher added that sometimes it takes up to an hour in the league office to determine if a hit was a foul or not. Clearly that's not something you want in terms of slowing a game down.

"The big thing is a standard. The on-the-field full-speed standard versus the frame-by-frame review," Fisher said. "Basically you're adding another element of subjectivity."

The committee actually believes additional reviews would equate to additional controversy as well.

"If fouls were to be reviewable, it appears that a different standard would need to be created which would probably lead to less consistent reviews and more controversy," the committee said in its statement. "In addition, it would require an extensive re-writing of NFL rules to address a standard for officiating based on a frame-by-frame review system, instead of the current code of rules written for on-field, real-time decisions.

"In such a situation, the Committee believes that replay would become simply an inefficient layer of officiating."

So whether or not you like it is irrelevant. It sounds like the Competition Committee has zero intention of expanding instant replay to include subjective matters involving on-field penalties.
