It's strange to admit, but I always thought the length of the football represented the LOS and the "neutral zone" ... perhaps I've been wrong about that all these years.

Of course, Wally said that he accepts the call ... so there's that. On the other hand, Wally also said that the officials normally give you a warning before they throw the flag and, in this case, no warning was provided ... so there's that. And Wally also mentioned that the line judge was reaching for his flag before the pick ... so there's that (I can't verify that official's aspect from the replay). Just another critical call in a crucial, game-changing, result-affecting moment? Go figure.

That leaves us with the remaining troubling issues including the RTP penalty on Jones ... another non-reviewable judgment call from an official who didn't have a good look at the play and another flag that will go down in history as a giant FU to Chiefs fans everywhere. That's 15 yards, an automatic 1st, and (I think - if I remember it correctly) the continuation of a TD drive for the Cheaters.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm damn tired of losing playoff games as a result of bullshit "interpretation" calls and freak plays that happen once every 100 years.

FAX THE TIRED OF THIS CRAP
Technically the neutral zone is the length of a football. It's my opinion that that "zone" is never enforced.

But hey, I also lean toward the conspiracy theorist side of the balance sheet, and I think the NFL has very "interpretable" judgement-call rules in place for a reason. Couple that with tight control of what's reviewable, and you have crated a manipulation stew... Sprinkle a little favoritism onto the pot and you have an NFL that can steer outcomes to fit their desired current narrative/script.

This is a drama play you're watching, and I'm totally sold on the NFL wanting the officials to be able to steer games. If that means in need to be part of the tinfoil-of-the-month club, so be it...

Great Graphic...
