That will be for the subjective stuff like holding or DPI. You could review it on video and feel the call was correct. But three graders can look at it and have three different opinions. Not everything is black and white. The fan or coach will look at it and say it was absolutely wrong and they wouldn't necessarily be incorrect in saying that. There are affects of what we do that is an art as much as a science. The mystery of that is what makes all aspects of sports exciting. You never know what might happen on the next play.
