It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The call on the field was touchdown and they need conclusive evidence to overturn a call. Should have stayed as isThe replay officials never have all the angles and zoom/enhance we see well after the game.
They are limited in time - even thought he do run over from time to time.
Human error is a thing.
Still - they got it wrong. Completely wrong.
Some refs are good some are bad"after reviewing the play, the quarterback's arm was going forward...."
let's pump the brakes on *****ing about the refs
Or stop showering because (some) Jets fans shower.
I can understand bad on field calls. But the NFL did not following its own rules and procedures. Why is that?The unforgivable part is that everyone could see his hand underneath the ball, so therefore it was impossible to confirm that the ball hit the ground, and therefore impossible to overturn the initial TD call. It’s nice to see this pic confirming the catch, but the onus was on replay to confirm the ball hit the ground, which anyone could tell was impossible to do once the first angle was seen.

There's a very good chance that the replay official is a former member of the New Jersey Jets, just like the commish and the guy who actually did mess with the footballs in 2014. Human Error is their motto.The replay officials never have all the angles and zoom/enhance we see well after the game.

That always get thrown out, because the fans don't have any right to a particular product.The official citing obsolete rules seems insane to me. Seems like grounds for a protest. And seems like grounds for one of those fan lawsuits that you see every once in awhile.
I thought they changed it that season between the AFCCG (when a similar catch to Henry's by Jesse James was overturned) and the Super Bowl (when a similar catch by someone, maybe Ertz or a running back, was upheld). But I could be misremembering/conflating multiple Steelers games.Didn't they change this rule in the middle of the 2017 season, which helped the Eagles win the super bowl?
Walt Anderson, who made the call from NY, was the deflategate ref and is 70 years old...he probably should retire
The NYJFL's office overturning this call has to be one of the worst replay calls in many years. By the rule today, that was a catch the minute he grabbed it with both hands & got both feet down. Catch - TD - dead ball. That's how they called it for Kelce.
The bias in this game, from the poor refereeing, to the biased replay officials, right down to the announcers gleefully quoting rules that are no longer rules, made it impossible to watch at times. It was so bad, that I'm taking next week off. After watching the NFL screw over the Pats this week on national TV, I am not going through that again next week. Maybe I'll watch it the day after if this doesn't happen again.
