Bellichick wants cameras on the sidelines for even more instant replay. Ugh. I think there is too much of that as it is and as the article says it's slowing the game to a crawl. How long was the Jets/Dolphis London game, something like 4 hours?
Interestingly Met Life will be the guinea pig for this idea, I guess because there are twice as many games there as anywhere else?>
Here's an idea - have the refs learn the rules so they call a penalty when someone bats the ball out of the endzone, thereby winning the game

Belidick, the Patriots' head coach, really wants the NFL to expand its use of instant replay. His proposal to have every play subject to a replay review doesn't appear to have much support, at least as the moment. But another of Belidick's suggestions—that the league use fixed replay cameras along the boundaries of the field—is something the NFL will test this season at Jets and Giants games at MetLife Stadium, according to USA Today.
That testing, a league spokesman told USA Today, would give the NFL "10 to 12 games worth of data on viability, impact, and feasibility" for the proposal.
PLUS: Jets in the U.K. diary, Day 2: 'American football? In London?'
Replay can result in delays that are a turn-off for some fans, but if the technology and the capability exists to get a call right, the league ought to give it a chance.
