It is one thing to have the officials on the field make a mistake on a bang bang call. But the play was reviewed, and reviewed,and the correct call was obvious and they still blew it.
No one can legitimately argue that the outcome of the game would have been different had the correct call been made.
But why in the world do we have to put up with a system that slows the game down and still can't get it right?
The players and the fans in the stands deserve better.

Review is the "better". Without review it would be what was called on the field, period, stop, end.
I feel for the officials looking at a replay with a time limit. Sometimes you can view a play from all kind of different angles and each one may show something you need to at further. Just think how many times you are sure replay will call it one way, yet, the minute the R steps out of the booth he announces the opposite.
My question for anyone who knows does, MAC use replay during the regular season?
