Officiating

The replay call after we scored on 4th-goal was BS. We knew we didn’t score, lined up, and ran another play. Nothing to review. We scored on 4th down, no need to review 3rd down. The rule to replay timing needs to change.

And, if a player needs the game stopped for ‘injury’ make him sit 3 plays, or 5 plays, or maybe even the remainder of series. If he’s really injured it won’t matter, and coaches won’t have players flopping if the player won’t be able to return quickly. And if different players are flopping, make the time on the bench longer each time. See if coaches want to have players miss entire quarters for that nonsense.

Was thinking about this. Most teams do it to slow momentum of the offense and save time outs. I think it's bs but part of strategy now to deal with high tempo offenses. One way to mitigate that is like you said have the "injured" player sit out a series before being allowed back in the game. That should reduce some of that nonsense. FIU game last year was the most flagrant use of this tactic and to me just undermines the integrity of the game.
