NFL Official Review

Anyway, the official review is out for the SB.

He was split...ish. He admitted that they blew the USC with the ball prop. He said that it happend so late after the play, like 20 seconds, and a relatively quick talcum impersonation, that the officials were already moving to extra point positions.

In a game that tends to last 3-4 hrs, and pregame starting 5 hrs before, there is a lot of dead ball time, they missed one here.

He admitted that the final AZ play should have at least been reviewed, though he agreed that the play was right, but was close enough that it should have been looked at.

Everything else seemed pretty close to current NFL dogma. Roughing the passer has gotten to the point of near absurdity, I know that nobody wants to watch a lot of NFL w/o star QBs, but common, it's football! But seriously Defense, get the clue... DONT GO NEAR THE HEAD!

Overall grade for the Crew as whole 1-7, I would give a 5.
