No i don't think he did. Cause from my understanding everyone in the locker room thought it was a foul.

if multiple people (like the ones who've participated in this discussion) look at slow-motion video replay (from different angles) and cannot come to a consensus as to if there was or was not contact.....I think we have the answer to whether the foul should have been called or not.....

NOT.

I do not think anyone is debating contact. Contact alone does not mean a foul should be called (or 4-27 in the NF rulebook would not be there either). What is at play is if that fits the definition of a foul?

No, it only means the video angles available are insufficient to draw a conclusion either way. That says nothing about whether there was or wasn't contact or whether one of the officials did or did not have a better view that was conclusive.

I would like to think that with a patient whistle we should be able to be certain on most foul calls that contact disadvantaged someone before it is called.

In this situation nothing I can see on the video would indicate anything nearly conclusive enough to call the foul. I would say though that neither angle is a close or from the position of the official who called the foul. The official may have seen something more conclusive then I am able to from the angles provided.
