It's highly doubtful the officials on the field had instant access to "freeze frame" technology to immediately assist them, in real time. Suggesting this play had "broken down" into an unpredictable cluster----, may be an understatement.
As we all (should clearly) know, often what is visible from the camera angle is simply NOT visible from ground level, especially when 22 players are acting totally independent from any script.
It is a lot easier to follow the action, given the assistance of slow motion, stop action and freeze-frame analysis from the comfort and positioning available to video review, and ACC management should have remembered their distinct viewing advantages before pontification about what "coulda", "shoulda" happened and threw their game officials under the nearest bus.
