They should just just ban the no-huddle offense. They can then have 2-3 people up in the booth, all on separate monitors, run the replay(slow motion if necessary) and determine what the call should be and relay it to the head ref if there was a mistake before the offense even breaks their next huddle. Do team's use no huddle sometimes strategically? Sure. But the impact of not letting them do that would be vastly outweighed by having timely correct calls so we don't have the freakshow and ridiculous delays we had last night. I'm not suggesting these people monitoring tell the refs what call they should be making on every play, just that they quickly review and correct any big or game-changing mistakes. They probably would only need to communicate corrections to the refs 1-3 times a game.
Even us at home can see several slow-motion replays on our TVs before the ball is hiked on the next play. Paying 2-3 people to do that and only that in the booth with all the technology available to the NFL would be even quicker and it would virtually eliminate BS calls regarding TDs, out of bounds, catch or no catch, etc.
And since all plays are reviewed within the final two minutes of the game, you can make an exception to the rule to allow teams to no-huddle after the last two minute warning so it wouldn't change the dynamic of teams' 2 minute hurry up offenses.
