I think to not have a replay in that circumstance would have been a much bigger problem than having one.
Five minutes, ten minutes, whatever minutes.
I also like that despite the blathering of Nantz and Packer if you watched the officials' body language during the review, I don't think there was any part of them thas was worried about "conclusive evidence" standards or whether "the kids deserved 5 more minutes" or "the longer this goes on the longer you have just let the play stand" or any of that other crap.
I'd like to think that Burr was looking at the screen with one thought. This is either a two or a three and my only job is to figure out which. And he did. Correctly in my opinion. It made me think of that old quote that's attributed to baseball umpire Steve Palermo (but is probably apocrophal) when asked whether it was true that a tie at first base goes to the runner -- he reportedly said "there's no such thing."
