It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Sorry if its been posted but Dion and Coach Mariucci both agree that Faulk made the first down and BAD mark by the Officials!! On NFL Network where they start talking about the 4th down and 2. Thats exactly what i thought when Faulk made the catch.
I think he got it too. He bobbled the ball initially (which is why the officials didn't just give him forward progress), but he got control at the 30 before he was pushed back.
But the Pats used up all of their timeouts before the 2 minute warning, and couldn't challenge. That's inexcusable.
If the play had happened 8 seconds later it would have been automatically reviewed. But it was just outside the 2 minute warning, and we couldn't challenge.
I wonder how NFL apologist Mike Pereira will defend the call this week.

That's really fantastic news.
I don't think there would haev been enough evidence to overturn it anyways. I would have liked to see the perspective from the other side of the field.
While we're on bad calls - can anyone tell me what exactly Darius Butler did to earn a P.I. call on the 2nd to last Colts scoring drive?
There's a youtube video where someone goes through a DVR of the play. Honestly, it's not conclusive. There's no video camera positioned right at the 30, it's at an angle so you can't get an accurate read on it. All I can tell you is, it was within one foot of the 30 (on either side). Anything more than that and I'd be guessing.
I posted this in a different thread, where the youtube link is, but if you watch it, and stop the video just as Faulk's foot comes down on the turf, when he clearly had possession, his foot is squarely on the thirty yd line.

Would, coulda, shoulda. Maybe he did, but without timeouts we weren't in the position to challenge the referees on it. That alone should have forced BB to call for a punt.
