Quote:The evidence to overturn the call is not indisputable.  Also, they didn't say "we reviewed it and it's not a TD", they said "we reviewed it and the play stands".  The call on the field takes precedence.  That's a very subtle but important nuance with replay.  Personally, I think it sucks and that they should just get the damn call right but that's not the way the rule is written.

 

As I explained earlier, pressing a pause button would have clearly shown Chris Ivory had complete control of the ball if referees were allowed to freeze frames. It was one of those plays where the referee can't do what he needs to do during the review, which happens a lot. Regardless, we got screwed because it should have been ruled a TD in the first place.
