I agreed it was a walk when seeing it slow; I guess I just don't know what the point of questioning it now is. Most of you guys have been the first to come to the defense of fellow officials, rather than the other way around.

No one is coming to the defense of the official because no one was attacking the official. Rather we are critiquing the call. If we can't do that, then we might as well get rid of video review.

As far as seeing the play in real time, I caught the travel the first time. I might of missed the foul though which is why it's important we watch tape.
