They did not make any off the cuff rules declarations like Packer is famous for. Sounded like 2 amazed fans trying to make sense of a prety amazing shot to me.
Well then, why would they not start explaining the rules of traveling so people can make their own mind up. How about rather than saying that since he was sitting on the line, it must be a 2. How about, from the looks of it on my monitor, he got the shot off in time. Those are examples of anti-Packer-isms he could have said. I showed that to my 12 year old and even he commented on the crap spewing from the announcers mouth.
