I find it interesting, that all of the talking heads are essentially saying the same thing. Showing the one angle of the play in slo-mo, and opining in unison what a terrible call it was.........and even worse, its the only reason the rams won.
There are many angles of the play, and in some, in real game speed it is much less obvious, definitely in the arguable arena. I watched it at speed a handful of times and add the fact the pass was poorly thrown, behind the receiver, and believe me its hardly a fireable offense. IMHO
I may be mistaken, but in this game, if not most of the post season, its been much like the NBA playoffs, in that the refs tend to "LET THEM PLAY." (unless it involves Tom Brady). If you feel it was penalty.....OK. But then so was the face mask grab of Goff a few minutes early. Point is, ref's are human, and they make mistakes. Just like the Sean Peyton, for his botching the series of plays inside the ram 20.
The players are bigger, faster and with tv having 20 cameras or whatever, its not realistic to expect perfection from the refs, not even if you bump the crew size from 7 to 10. Its time to go the way of the CFL and allow the coaches 1 ref challenge a game and 2 in the post season. Its just time.
Lastly, time to give the rams a little love.
