you might want to read up on the RULES as related to completions

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.
