I try (TRY!) to not alter my decision based on what happens afterward. Last night, RB was stopped for a second or a second and a half. Just as I'm about to blow it dead, he falls forward in a pile .... over the goal line. I blew it dead. I would have blown it dead if the ball flew loose. I would have blown it dead if the player tossed it to another player.

Explaining this one to my sideline was not fun, as they did not score afterward. But I stick by it. My logic - it was dead when I decided it was dead - subsequent actions (no matter who they favored) be damned.

But I did want to solicit the opinions of this esteemed (usually) board.
