That was a good game yesterday and fortunately for me, the Steelers won. The way the Chiefs played in the fourth quarter, I figured for sure Pitt was going to blow it. Hopefully these teams will have a rematch in the playoffs, although I don't think my heart could take any more of that kind of excitement. Like they say, any given Sunday. It's only a game, no point in getting bent out of shape over it.

So replay means that the replay officials have to draw very fine lines between all these different scenarios and fans can now argue over them. They have to both make fine distinction between what is and isn't a catch. Additionally, they have to draw fine lines between what is sufficient evidence to overturn a call on the field. If you are going to have replay, you are going to have these problems regardless of where the line is drawn. I think replay has improved the game. It's not perfect, but perfection is unobtainable. The other option is to get rid of replay. My $0.02 worth. |

I think they got the call correct, but it is really close. I think that replay officials in general are too conservative in overturning calls. But the more important issue, is to be consistent. Given the deference that is usually given to the call on the field, I can see why fans thought it should be allowed to stand.
And I would change the rule so that the offense got the ball back at the location of the fumble instead of it being a touchback. |

You mean like when the Patriots lost a touchdown because a ref blew an "inadvertent whistle"? How about when the refs wouldn't let Brady hike the ball for some inexplicable reason? How about, on the final play of the game, when Kuechly -- back to the ball -- just drove Gronk backwards out of the end zone? A play where Kuechly recently "I probably got away with one there" How about when the Patriots were called for pushing from behind during a field goal (IIRC the first time that penalty was ever called) to help the Jets win a game in OT, when the Jets had done the EXACT same thing at the end of regulation earlier in that very same game? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7xO4A1OFDM&t=234 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh94vgwbPEo Or when the Patriots won the toss for OT but somehow the ref decided the Patriots wnated to kick? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qo4vRNj774 But hey, enjoy your confirmation bias!!
