PSU213 -
That was well put. I understand that the two officials have different responsibilities. You obviously saw the play (unlike our Wheaton colleague who erroneously said that I asked about the difference in sports - please show me where I said that).
My question from the very beginning concerned the proper mechanic. You were the only one that said that the second official should have done something different. It looked awful.
The receiver may not have been in bounds but two sets of eyes missed him being forced out. The replay system may not afford the ability to correct this call, but it was horrible.
As an aside, I was flipping back and forth between the Red Sox/Yankees and Rams/Bucs games. There was a brutal Clipping/Illegal block call made on a punt return. Every replay showed that it was butchered. I've tried looking for a site that provides which plays are reviewable. Any ideas?
