Meaning the call on the field stands. It appears that they didn't go far enough back on the video to be able to accurately rule on the play.

I haven't seen the replay, but you can't possibly know they didn't go back far enough. It's likely they had a different angle than you did.

Adam, it sounds like, from the press release, Triplett himself said the video he saw did not include any action off the goal line, and when asked specifically about the Nose tackle, he seemed unaware there was even anything about the nose tackle to be looking at.

That's what I based my statement on.

It wouldn't be the first time an official erred on an instant replay decision.

And it won't be the last.

Not exactly an embarrassment, though.

Missing something live speed will happen.

Between screwing the Redskins on the downs issue and by his own admission not reviewing the most important part of the play before overturning the call on the field, Triplette's had some pretty big, unacceptable mistakes.

Seriously ... your lack of a clue is increasing. The referee can only make decisions based on what he's shown.

I'd have a tough time imagining the NFL failing that badly with a replay review system. The official making the decision has to have input into what he sees.

"Has to" meaning you think he does? Or "has to" meaning you think he should?

I can see Hochuli in there... "OK, give me camera 6. No, zoom out. OK, thanks. Now camera 7... Can you zoom in on the goal line there. OK, thanks. How's camera 8? Oops... out of time." Yeah, that would work.
