First, thanks for having an intelligent converstion about this...too many people come in here with "sour grapes" and the like.

Anyway, I did not see the play in quesiton, but based on the descriptions, the right call was made, and people are talking about it, but as you said, it was the right call. Also, you mention that is was "unpopular," but if the incorrect call was made, it would be unpopular with the other side.

The "tuck rule" play was unpopular, especially with Raider fans, but it was the right call, as controversial as that rule is.
