The initial ruling was that Whitten got about a half or so yard ahead of the line to gain, and that was probably too much. However, the ruling that placed the ball a half yard behind the line to gain after the replay was equally incorrect. He go ABOUT to the line to gain (give/take 6 inches), and the ball should have been put there for measurement.
The other problem was that they didn't really take a look and possibly measure Romo's advance either and he *might* have gotten very close to the first down spot. Had the replay taken the time they took on the previous play, it would have been very interesting.
That's the problem with replay. Under its best use, its still very inconsistent.
