I think the NFL system works well but is obviously not 100%

The NFL does have the benefit of a huge array of refs in the booth and a whole gaggle of camera angles compared to the BPL.

I like the fact that if video evidence is inconclusive, the decision on the field stands.

You hear very few complaints about the NFL review system which suggests it works well most of the time.
