Objective penalties such as face mask.
Keep subjective/judgement calls like pass interference as the ultimate call of the on field refs.
I think the calls that are reviewable by the Sky Judge are clearly spelled out and face mask is not one of them.
I think a blatant face mask, like this one
should be, but currently it is not.
A ball that clearly bounces off the turf can be overruled and called incomplete but one that bobbles slightly going to/hitting the ground would take a full review.
If face mask was reviewable, they could have reviewed it both because it was under two minutes and the safety was a score.
Not sure the rational for face mask not being reviewable. Seems pretty straight forward.
If only it had been Josh Allen, I'm sure a rule change would be upcoming...

Again, the XFL does it perfectly and fixed a ton of blown calls. They COULD do it, the just don't WANT to. Too much money on the line to get things RIGHT

I noticed that about the XFL officiating as well last year. And wondered why the NFL couldn’t duplicate that.
