Sounds like a classic of the NFL covering for the ref's poor judgment.

Hey, I lived through a year (2000) of the Steelers season where the refs screwed up 3 calls that may have cost them games, and the league apologized each time the next day.

In cases where mistakes are made, the league will apologize.

, it looked like a catch and most of the sportscasters agreed that the video did not have the evidence to overturn the call on the field.

I tried to watch all of the coverage after the game, and even spent a few hours listening to the local Cleveland radio coverage, and NOBODY disputed the no-catch call.

The reversal was disputed on TV here last night and on talk shows today by most of the guys talking about it. Roe Conn even tried to imagine what would happen if the refs pulled off such a thing in Chicago. Pretty entertaining.

Just for the record--I don't know whether the pass was complete or not. Those plays, people see what they want, and who knows. The fact is, Browns fans know better than to argue that kind of call. That's why you didn't hear any complaint about it.

Of course, if the play had stood, we would have taken it. So would every single person on this thread, if s/he was a fan of a team in the Browns' position, including you.

The fact is simple: if the catch had been legally reviewed and reversed, there would have been no bottles (well maybe one or two.)
