The discussion is over. There is no nothing more to debate. Despite its denials, the NFL has unquestionably distorted its replay review system in a way that is impacting the playoff race and could potentially threaten the direction of an actual postseason game.

The latest and debate-ending evidence is the decision to reverse a touchdown catch by Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin just before halftime in Sunday's matchup with the New England Patriots. The play followed in an excruciating line of touchdown reversals this season, including two by New York Jets tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins and another by Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller that have exposed what can only be described as a shift in an interpretation of the NFL rulebook under new senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron.

Just this year we have:

Sefarian-Jenkins overturn
Charmin-soft penalties for Gronkowski for the most deliberate attempt to injure a player on the field in years
This overturn
The overturn last week

All three of the overturned plays were ruled as touchdowns on the field. All three need incontrovertible video evidence.

No kidding.

I've never seen a team receive a shitload amount of breaks in my life.

Not even the Yankees were this lucky.

Cheatriot on Cheatriot crime would be perfect world events.

I still grin at the karma of a Broncos offensive linemen taking out Terrell Davis' knee with a low blindside hit.

I don't think they ever showed an angle with clear evidence of grass between his left toes and the sideline.

But please, tell me more about how attendance isn't a growing concern for the league.

To be fair, 20 out of 32 is barely off of even.
