The PI non calls over the weekend were an embarrassment too.  Then the Rams get called for one last night where there was very little to no contact at all.  Sometimes it does feel like there is an agenda.

If I recall correctly, they allowed for PIs (or lack of the call) to be reviewed for something like one season a couple of years back...but they never reversed any of their calls, then removed it from plays that could be reviewed

It's no wonder ppl speculate on the legitimacy of the product when a godzillion dollar business allows these calls to happen over and over again under the guise of human fallibility.

8 HD cameras would cover every line in both endzones. I guess that's more than they can afford.  :laugh:

If the game wasn't flexed they would have had plenty of cameras.

 

One other point, there were all kinds of high powered still photographers around that area. You can see them in the Replay.  Those cameras fire easily 20 frames per second.

I still can’t fathom why the Officials are not available for post game press conferences?  These people get paid and need to be accountable for their actions.  At least they should answer questions.

What would that really accomplish?

Maybe apologizing for a mistake?

I couldn't access the link from work - but I would guess Leon Lett could be on there a couple of times (once that to his good fortune, did not affect his team's path to victory in a SB against Buffalo), and one that did during a play that I believe involved a kick (perhaps a blocked kick...but I'm drawing a blank on the exact circumstance)

Found that other Leon Lett play  - thanksgiving game vs Miami. Miami was attempting a game winning FG that was blocked. If no one touches it, Dallas wins the game. But Leon Lett slides into the ball (snow covered field) at the one yard line, with three seconds left...Miami kicked again and this time, made the game winning kick
