I also don't get his complaining about the Addai spot. He's claiming that they messed up the chains when they remeasured after the review.
Dungy from Colts.com:
“In the last two minutes, they can review any spot that deals with a first down,” Dungy said. “They reviewed it and in his opinion, marked it where it should have been marked. The problem I had with the whole thing is when we had the ball 1st- and 10 at the 16, the ball was outside the 16-yard line. Then, the stake was inside the six, which is hard for me to figure out how that happened.
“It’s just a judgment call on whether he had enough information to put the ball at a certain spot. They felt like they did. When they measured, it wasn’t a first down, but I’m trying to find out how the chains got set there. It was clearly 1st-and-10 outside the 16-yard line.”

This is clearly bull****. The ball was clearly spotted inside the six before the review. I love how they say you can't make excuses and then offer up... a bunch of excuses.
Get those guys working on Special Teams Tony, it would suck if they have to play them for the first time in a big game.
You are exactly right about the Special teams, imho. The only thing I would say was strange was to bring the chains out measure it as a 1st down, then go up to the booth and respot the ball then say no its not a first down. Had absolutely no bearing on the outcome of the game and Dungy says that. Not that it matters and it is really not a big deal, but that seemed kinda mismanaged officiating wise. Why would you bring the chains out, but whatever the outcome you were going to check the spot????
Why the two orders? Why the measurement and then the reveiw??? I think maybe we are entitled to some answers.
Now just for your enjoyment (and no reason at all) I give you Colonel Jessup
:
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns.
Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg?
I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom.
You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury.
You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives.
And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something.
You use them as a punchline.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post.
Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
