For all the talk of how terrible NFL refereeing is these days, that was a pretty good job of spotting that his foot was out of bounds at the 2 yard line.
Replay rules are so weird though.
We know the play was reviewed because it was a turnover.
And once there is a review, they review all aspects.
Including the fact that it was not a TD.
But why do they let the bad spot stand? No way you can fault a ref who is running full speed from behind to not know where the ball was. It was, as you say, already impressive that he saw the foot out of bounds.
But the video shows the ball was on the one not the two. We already reviewed it. Video is clear. But we keep it on the two. It’s all so fucked. When did getting it right morph into getting it mostly right?
If TD had been called on the field, they put that ball on the one. But even though there was a replay, because it was not called a TD we tolerate the bad spot. What are we even doing?
