[Cannon Shell]

It was insanely close but i thought it was a TD though it was certainly not indisputable.

espn radio this morning, is saying that replay made the right call BUT it wasn't indisputable. i do agree it wasn't indisputable.

That is good because ESPN radio knows everything.

There is no way of knowing if that ball got in or not. Anyone that says they know for a fact that ball got in is a liar.

The real issue though is that the call on the field was no touchdown and the referee could not have possible saw something that made him think otherwise while reviewing the tape.

The ref screwed up. He should just admit it and move on.

I thought the replayed showed the ball crossing the line. I doubt I am lying about that. maybe my eyesight isnt 20/20 but it looked to me as though the end of the ball crossed the plane of the goal when he caught it. To say there is no way of knowing doesnt exactly support your position of it wasnt over either. It is still very hard to tell even after watching it. I dont really care either way though and if the ref thought it was over then he surely doesnt think he should apologixze.

the officiating in the NFL has been horrific. I didnt see this play.. but if you go by how every other call has been made the officials probably screwed up again.

they talked about it last night, and showed a replay-and drew a yellow line to indicate where the goal line was located. looked to me like the ball was on the line.

The ball should have to end up over the line anyway. The current rule sucks, reaching the ball over for a split second....gimme a break.

You made my point. The replay judge is only supposed to overturn the call on the filed if they are 100% certain based on the replay. Nobody could say with 100% certainty whether he got in or not.

The right call was to stick with the call on the field. If the guy on the field said it was a TD then that should have been the call they went with.

Replay is only to overturn calls that are indisputable. The NFL replay ref screwed up.

Obviously they were 100% certain it was the right call. You are saying that nobody could say with 100% certainty but the ref thought is was a TD with 100% certainty and his opinion is really all that matters.

No, the ref screwed up. Peter King, everyone at NBC last night, ESPN, etc. said they screwed up. No honest person could look at that and say they knew it was a TD. The guy must have had a plane to catch. He is the same guy that screwed up the tuck rule in the Oakland playoff game. He LOVES attention and the NFL has even said he seems to be involved in a ton of controversial calls. He likes to overturn his officials calls and make himself look smarter than everyone else. He won't be doing any playoff games this year.
