This is the kind of lunacy the instant reply review process has brought us. The reviewers can "see" that the runner was stopped short of the 6 yard line but are unable to precisely tell from that view how short he was. I do not understand how anyone can think the camera, unless it is looking straight down a line (i.e. goal line, line to gain, etc) can give you a precise view. There is way too much potential for perspective distortion, especially when using telephoto lenses.
