The only thing I did not like about the replay was the explanation, or lack there of, by Mr. Leavy.

Leavy only said the play as called stands. He did not give any explanation (as replays have been given this season in the NFL) saying either that the ball crossed the plane of the goal line and the call stands, or that there was no conclusive video evidence to overturn the call on the field. Either one of these would have added credibility to the review in my opinion.

He did a much better job explaning how Hasselback was touched while going down onthe play where the ball popped out when he hit the ground.
I agree. If they didn't give the TD and then reviewed it I think that would have stood. I think the camera was at a bad angle... thus giving us "there was no conclusive video evidence to overturn the call on the field."

But I would have liked to hear it from the referee...?
