    NFL games seem to take longer than ever these days between coaches’ challenges and plays that are automatically reviewed, and Jon Gruden is tired of it.

    In an interview with Men’s Fitness, Gruden said he would like to see the NFL make zero plays reviewable. That’s right — none of them.

    “I would eliminate all of it,” Gruden said, via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. “Everything’s disputed now. Was he inbounds? Was it a turnover? It’s taken the juice out of the stadium. There are too many timeouts. Let the people on the field officiate and hold them accountable. Look, there’s going to be some bang-bang plays that have to be officiated. And who’s going to make the decision? The instant replay man in New York City?”

    There’s really no debating that instant replay disrupts the flow of the game, but it is here to stay.
