I don't really have a major problem with the refs using replay as a crutch.  These guys aren't
pros.  Yes, they do camps and receive training and such, but this is still a part time job for them.  But why does the ref have to look in the 'viewfinder' for every replay?  Can't there be a guy/girl up in the press box with a couple of screens watching the broadcast that 1) signals down for a stoppage to double check a disputed play and 2) actually review the play?  It seems to me that there is a lot of wasted time with the way the review process is actually done.

Since most kickoffs are touchbacks...can't they run a screen-in-screen commercial during the kickoff?  IMO that would take a good 5 minutes off of the game time.  Also, how much time would the running clock after a first down really shave off?  They are pretty good at spotting the ball that the clock is stopped for only about 10 seconds.  I understand that this adds up but I would be surprised if it amounts to 2 minutes...
