that's how I saw it.
If you do an analysis of the replays and look at where the ball was from the back endzone camera and then look at it from the side, the ball crossed but JUST barely.
Had the linesman called him down at the 1, they wouldn't have reversed that call either.
United ad sucked
"Had the linesman called him down at the 1, they wouldn't have reversed that call either"
Exactly!
The thing that all are missing here is that the line ref came running in, after Ben was on the ground, then raised his arms that it was a touchdown.
Had he made the call, back near the sideline, when Ben was still flying through the air, the call would be more tolerable. And even if he did, that ref would need laser guided vision to make a call that close from that distance.
Just my take on it, and still licking my wounds from the Patriots big choke in Denver..........
I'm glad they're not singing "Neocon"
