they need to fix that as the NFL says penalties are not reviewable, even in instant booth review.

Every single play should be reviewable. There should not be 1 call on the field that cannot be challenged. It doesn't make sense why a penalty that all but ended the game cannot be challenged but you can challenge a 5-yard completion call in the 1st drive of the game if you want. Teams should get 2 challenges (then a 3rd if they were right on the 1st 2) then those can be used for EVERYTHING that happens during the game.

Either that, or the auto instant booth crap needs to at least be able to call obvious calls that are wrong no matter what.

I'm not a fan of the auto-instant replay, but yeah, if they're using it, it should be used correctly. I'd rather give more challenges to the teams, then controlled by the league itself.

I kind of like the instant for the obvious mistakes as it is much faster and doesn't interrupt the game nearly as much.

I can see the merits, but I think if you get 2 or 3 challenges a game, you wouldn't need those. I don't think there are more than 4 truly blatant calls during the average NFL game where just letting the teams choose themselves, would be an unnecessary burden. But that's just my opinion.
