I hate that instant replay is "indisputable evidence" to overturn.

 

We're at the point with technology where the looks you get on replay, 99% of the time are better than what an official saw at game speed, from sometimes a s***ty angle. Unless you literally can't see anything, you should be able to review it and it shouldn't matter what the call on the field was. We've all seen calls where we're 90% sure of what happened but since it was ruled X on the field, it stays as X.

 

That play, on replay, is an interception. But since it was ruled TD on the field, it stands. It's just stupid. I really wish they'd change the standard of proof for replay. There's no reason not to at this point.

 

Considering half the time they dont even apply indisputable correctly id be fine that.

lost in all this is the GB not trying to knock the ball down. Knock it down and the game is over. Why go for the INT there?

 

Meh. He intercepted the ball. It isn't his fault the refs made one of the worst calls in the history of sports and while knocking the ball down is common knowledge there have been a decent amount of hail marys completed off of batted balls the last couple of years between college and the NFL.

Let's not be ridiculous here (but it's Soxtalk, so it has to be). Live speed that's a really tough call. Replay should be able to correct it. Apparently it's not allowed to in that situation.

Looking at it again, Tate's hand was on that ball virtually the entire time.

 

He had no possession of that. Not even close. One of his arms was basically never touching the ball and Jennings had both hands on it with the ball pinned to his chest.

Im note sure I see the humor in that comment. These guys are doing the best that they can, its not their fault. This is squarely on the NFL.

There's an enormous amount of observational bias in this as well. We know the refs are replacements, thus missed calls seem that much more obvious. What is most likely true is that we fail to realize how many calls the normal refs miss, and also tend to overreact/over estimate the number that the replacements are making

 

That said, there is still an obvious difference

That was bulls***. This is getting ridiculous! The NFL needs to get the refs back bfr we strike and they make no money!

Makes you wonder... has it been mentioned internally?
