Pretty much this. Wait until the NFL season gets in full swing as I anticipate a lot of complaining by fans and media. They brought that PI challenge in because of an egregious mistake in the playoffs but we know that coaches will challenge some ticky tack contact and it's going to take time and lots of different replay angles to come to a determination that may still end up making more people unhappy than if they didn't have replay and just stayed with the call on the field.
