I get all that but sometimes you just can't see some things. It looked like it could have been upper-jersey. This was beyond excusable as a judgment call or having not one official seeing the focus of the play live.
This was a big missed call, but I have seen teams hold from 1st and goal at the 1 hundreds of times. We don't know what could have happened here, although we DO know that the Saints would have killed off the game with the PI at the time of the game. A game-changing call is an absolute killer, the Tuck Rule, the Fail Mary, and now the Ramshot.......
After a "correct DPI" in the endzone, the Chiefs just ran a classic West Coast offense STAPLE play, the sprint right option and score their 2nd touchdown. 17-14
Yeah, I get it. Mainly I just disagree with the statements that the referee should be FIRED and that it's "criminal" for him to say to the press that he didn't see it. For that matter, I would object strongly if the ref himself threw a PI flag on a downfield play when no one else on the crew called it. Even if he didn't have an obstructed view, his position on the field makes it impossible to get a proper angle to know if the hit was before or after the ball reached that spot on the field. And I think we all know he can't use the Jumbotron. His crew made a very bad decision. They'll get graded accordingly. His own grading will get knocked as the head of that crew. There should be and will be negative ramifications - more severe for the blind men downfield, and also for him as head of that crew. But there was absolutely nothing wrong with the answers he gave in the postgame interview.
The SUPERDOME strikes again some Strange azz calls be happening in there just makes you say WTF is going on here
Wow, what a gutsy call on the Edelman non-touching of the punt call, but i think they got it right again. It was a game of inches in football and in this case, it WAS definitely inches away from touching it. Wow....
