As is often the case, the view from, any number of cameras at different speeds, seems to paint a different picture than what the Referee saw on the field, in real time. Maybe his next game will be his FIRST perfect one.

Missed my point even with the smiley. Oh well. I'll be less subtle.

I don't blame the ref - I blame the league. The league's uberprotection of the QB is to blame for the officials defaulting to roughing when it's close - they'd rather call one that didn't happen than risk missing one.
