It was a bad call because it was clearly a questionable call and it was HUGE in deciding the outcome of the game.

Here is the rule to support my statement...NFHS Rule 9-4-4c.
A defensive player shall neither run into the kicker nor holder, which is contact that displaces the kicker or holder without roughing; nor block, tackle or charge into the kicker of a scrimmage kick, or the place-kick holder, other than when:
c. Contact is slight and is partially caused by movement of the kicker.

Clearly a questionable call? I disagree.
More importantly, why is a guy who supposedly did not own/use a rule book quoting Fed rules, in reference to a situation in an NFL game?
Kickers are highly-paid specialists at the NFL level, and are afforded an even higher level of protection.

What does how much kickers make have to do with anything???
More importantly, Nedney himself admitted that his "acting" might land him a role in Hollywood (or something to that effect) which leads me to believe that even Nedney didn't in all honesty believe he deserved the call.
The call was definitely a "questionable" call. If it wasn't questionable, why is the play under such scrutiny???
What I saw was slight contact not enough to warrant a flag under any situation especially at this critical point in the game. As an official in any sport, you never want to make a call that decides the game unless it is blatantly obvious in EVERYONE's eyes and NOT just "my judgement". When you make this call in this situation, you automatically give a team an edge.
The Titans gained an advantageous call that decided the game on a questionable foul. This is a bad call--should not have been made. Game sense, GET SOME!!!!
