I'm quite aware of the (now ridiculous) rules regarding completions. If you were watching, the referee nearest the play obviously thought it was a completion with Burris not down by contact as he watched the ball dribble into the endzone and be picked up by a Packer who started to run the ball out. I didn't say that the pass was obviously a completion. I just said that Burris was obviously touched and so down by contact if it was a completion, and so I thought it warranted a booth review.

I was watching, and having officiated football for 10-years, I always like to see the covering officials confer when a call is close...this was correctly done and they got the call right. The "referee" (as you say) nearest the play was blocked and the other "referee" had a better view.
As far as the current ("now ridiculous") rule governing pass completions, I like it.




BRING ON THE PATSIES!!!!
