The NFL needs more cameras

Not sure why this hasn't been brought up more before.

Sorry have to post this.

Face mask to boot!

Still no excuse to the way we played. But tall glass is right. The reffing is ruining football.

The officials took a safety and two TDs away that they shouldn't have. It's a joke.

I agree in general, but that wasn't a face mask - watch it live or in slow motion - there is no grab or movement. It's a misleading or biased still of a millisecond touch.

Again, agree on refs and cameras.

Why wasn't Crabtree's catch s touchdown? It looks like the ball was on the white line when he caught it. Is the argument that he had it but hasn't completed the catch until after he went shy of the white line? Either way, we lost 20 seconds, as he goes out of bounds at the 0:39 mark and we start at 0:19. If we had more time, maybe we run one? As it was, we needed the TD catch or incomplete. No time for a just short rush (needed to save our one TO for FG try).

Do you have any angle in which you could play Devils advocate to my question above? Quoted below:

Saw this user comment on PFF: The one problem I have is:

I never saw one of those blue bean bags that you see when there is a fumble or interception. Then after the play is over you see Laurenitis jump up with the ball running around.

So, it seems to me like the play was never called a fumble during the course of play and instead was ruled a fumble after the play was over, which has to be overturned with indisputable evidence. I know there is no real easy way to call this in either direction and it’s over so, what do you do? BUT, I cannot understand how the official standing less than 10 ft from the play didn’t call it a fumble during the course of play but then rules it a fumble after the play is over.

There should be a method where the officials can get together and say, it was entirely too hard to see exactly what went on, and just because someone comes out of the bottom of a scrum does not mean that it was a fumble. So, in this case, lets play the down over.

SIDENOTE: I was watching on my smartphone through the NFL Mobile app so I could definitely have missed something, please don’t bite my head off because of that. Just explain what I missed and I’ll admit I was wrong.

That's the thing that's irks me the most. Every other time they award the ball to the team with original possession if they can't confirm it. Which made it harder for us to win that challenge since they automatically gave it to ATL. It should have stayed our ball and we would of went to OT.
