Just2cents, To say "We should all be accountable to do the right thing everytime." is insulting. First off, I believe the majority of the officials on this site do not have the luxury of instant replay. Of course we strive to make the right call everytime. But in reality, if you're working a varsity game with a 4 or 5 man crew, you only have so many eyes and vantage points to make a call from. In NCAA, the 7 man crew gains several more angle to view a play from, but you still only have a split second to decide what you have. I'm not trying to make excuse for officials, but it is reality that you are going to find mistakes in our games when you watch them on film in slow motion. And you will notice that 98% of the time the official did make the right call. That percentage I'm sure drops as the level of play decreases also. I must also say that even though last last play of the game appears to have decided the game, the 35 to 40 other plays did also. If that wasn't true, we might as well let each team run one play, announce the winner, and go have beer and pizza.
