NFL review overhaul?

Today on CBS's The NFL Today Coach Bill Cower advocated an overhaul of the NFL's review rules following the Lion's review debacle last week.  His position was that the rules should be similar to college rules, with no coach's reviews at all and ALL plays reviewed by a review official in the booth.

I greatly respect Coach Cower's skill and ability, but WRT the replay overhaul he's dead wrong.  A coach knowing the rules and making the right call is part of the game.  Living with bad calls on the part of the coach or the officials is part of the game. 

The logical conclusion of the "kinder, gentler" NFL is that eventually we will just be watching the owners sitting around playing Madden every Sunday.
