We have gone from replay instated to correct obvious errors of judgement to the laughable microscopic view of a player who was not even tackled to see if he scored an obvious touchdown.

This is no longer football,,,it is a travesty.

I disagree 100%.

What do you wish to do, award a touchdown to a player tackled in the field of play?

If instant replay was enacted to overturn a play in which absolutely no one involved in the play or any spectator watching the play would argue with,,,a play in which the ball carrier was not tackled, and by the fact of 5 minutes of slow motion replay determines he was a fraction of an inch short of the goal line....then burn all the stripe shirts and set up cameras and play the freaking game in front of empty seats...


That call was a freaking embarassment to anyone who truly loves football.
