I'm right there with you. At normal speed I was thinking "This one is easy. why is there a question?" Seeing again in slow motion..."Well, not so much."

Related question...Would it have been better if the calling official had quickly taken a few long strides toward the play? When everyone got around to looking at him he would have appeared to be "right on it".
