BS is BS no matter how much shine you put on it & how much you apologize.

Interesting idea however, the only problem I see with this is that the same moron who threw the flag is the same moron reviewing it. Or at least it's the same moron's co-worker.

Like a "get out of fine free" card.

I would like to hold that card until we play Atlanta Sir!!!

The mere presence of replay at least curtails possible corruption of refs...

Which has been a problem in all of professional sports...

But the length of replay is not necessary if you got a guy in the hat watching the game during play who can push the WTF button during the game...

Older refs with good experience and poor treads on their Nikes would be ideal for this...

Not only was that BS, then Meachem gets tackled way out of bounds and we get no call. I lost it after that.

Yes, that was strange. After the Harper hit you felt like they owed us one and if ever there was an opportunity to even things up, that was it.

I can't remember what happened later, but I do remember saying, "Well, that evens things up a little."

They gave us a first down when we were over a yard short.
