This is why nothing will ever be perfect when it comes to getting calls right. I've seen the Edelman play and slow motion replays now several times and every time I see it it is completely obvious to me (and obviously to the replay officials) he never touched it. There isn't one single replay that proves it but each replay eliminates a possibility. Problem is, like we are seeing in this thread, some people just can't figure it out even when it's pretty obvious. The bigger problem is that sometimes those people who can't figure it out are the replay officials themselves. Hogan had two catches replayed, one called a catch and one reversed, both were literally the exact same catch. If 1st one was a catch then the second one should have been, who can figure it out???? Roughing the passer non hit in Brady was brutal, but no less brutal than the non pick call that helped Chiefs get to the 2 yard line, but we don't want to talk about that because that went the Chiefs way, just saying.....refereeing was pretty bad to both sides and not reason for Cheifs losing, that's on Dee Ford!

These old assed eyes couldn't see a shred of evidence that would overrule the call on the field. At least to me, there was little to indicate that the ball "did" or "didn't" get touched - at least to me. Obviously, at this point, it doesn't matter - but I agree with Jerry Jones - and thousands of others as well. |

http://podbay.fm/show/1109282822/e/1...97?autostart=1 Warning: It features a Belichick Homer, Michael Lombardi. But he's right about this in my opinion. Basically the Patriots would have ran the clock out even more on their final drive to leave little time left for Mahomes as opposed to Andy Reid who's not caring about the clock at all. |

I just want them to bring back the time limit for instant replay. Spending 5 minutes on it is ridiculously stupid.

Too many subjective rules are ruining this sport, amongst other things.
Back in the day the only two subjective calls were "What is a hold? and what is defensive pass interference?" Now we don't know what a catch is, we don't know what a fumble is. What is roughing the passer? What is unnecessary roughness? What is forward progress? The list goes on. |

There are some of us that feel like we have a fairly clear explanation and it came about later.

Edelman was in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Not too different that Dee Ford. It was stupid play on his part - he was very lucky to get bailed out. Should have never been in that position. Being that close and trying to make a play like that is the definition of being undisciplined. You have a little cognitive dissonance - you're trying to make this situation fit your minds narrative on how the game was won fairly. Don't worry, we all do it. The replays were far from obvious. It really doesn't matter - the game is over and the outcome is decided. Why do you care? |

I wonder if the refs have access to the NFL Films camera?
If you skip to 5:00, the following look shows it never touches Edelman's arm which is what you couldn't see in the broadcast. The broadcast did show it never touched his fingers. https://youtu.be/bOERfQq_GLA Edit: And if you watch inside the NFL on showtime. There's an even better view(endzone camera) showing the ball doesn't even touch Edelman's arm if you can run it frame by frame. Question still is, do the refs have access to these NFL Films camera's?
