Thought on instant replay....

Do you ever wonder what we did without it? How many games would of been reversed throughout football history. Just got to thinking about it watching the illi/mich game, that wouldn't of been a TD and the score would be 14-13. Could be big in the end or not. How many of thousands of other games would of been effected had instant replay always been around....

I remember the pre-replay days very well. And I remember all the opposition to any mention of it. I'm glad things have evolved and become truer to the concept of, "May the best man win."

I am remembering one NFL game in particular right now. It was the Houston Oilers who got totally robbed of a playoff game (and a trip to the Super Bowl ??) on a blown call of an in-bounds reception in the end zone late in the game. Everyone in TV-land knew the Oilers were the rightful winners - there was no question - but the other team (Steelers ??) advanced.

I wish I could remember all the details. Maybe someone here does. The receiver may have been Jeffires. It was a turning point in the decision to finally institute instant reply in the NFL.
