Everyone says that these PI penalties should be reviewable, and I don't disagree, but remember that the Gardner play was a non-call. I think that would create a gray area of challenging a play when no penalty has been called.
I still say a better option is to have an official, or officials, either in the booth or next to the field that are viewing the game on a monitor, and can give their input when there is a questionable call or non-call....basically to give their input when the officials confer before officially calling the penalty. They would have the advantage of the TV angles that the on field refs don't have. To cut down on it taking too long, maybe only make it for penalties of over 20 yards or something....
