[QUOTE="sjb12681, post: 816211, member: 8865"] Point 1: edleman play was ruled turnover on field. By rule, to overturn call on the field, it has to be 100% indisputable evidence. Not maybe, not "boy that looks close". 100% indisputable. Everyone including NFL rules analyst said that could have gone either way. But if that's the case, by rule, the play must stand. If it was called the other way on the field, it also should have stood, due to the letter of the rule. Point #2 is nonsensical. 1st, it fell within 2 min warning, and while no one could predict what didn't happen, chances are if 2 refs walk up with 2 different calls, the plays getting reviewed. While I'm sure many people think it was a TD, I'm not so sure many outside of Seattle's fanbase and staff would be counted among them. Maybe I'm wrong. I do know that on most all "all time worst" lists of bad calls in NFL (even on many all pro sports lists) it ranks as a top 3 of worst and most egrigious calls in modern sports history. It ain't just Packers fans. For what it's worth. At the end of the day, I agree that the NFL should split the difference, admit mistakes are going to happen, and allow 3 challenges, period, to ANY live play in the game, state what they are challenging, and then ask the refs to review against league rules. There is ZERO reason to put limitations on the challenge system. I would be fine with doing away with the 2 minute booth review to offset any continuity issues or time / pace concerns the NFL has to the change. [/QUOTE]
