The instant replay rule is being interpreted this year as it was written - indisputable visual evidence. The play was declared incomplete, there was not indisputable visual evidence to overturn that assessment. Had it been incorrectly declared a touchdown, we would likely have been in the same boat.

No - that is NOT what the review call was. They didn't say there was no indisputable visual evidence to overturn the call. They said there WAS indisputable visual evidence to UPHOLD the call (not the exact language they used, but they explained why the call was correct, as opposed to explaining why they couldn't overturn the call). That is very different, and we left with a win BECAUSE of the officiating.

honestly i thought it was far from close. It moved in the one angle.

No way that's a touchdown, like the refer said, you have to have full control even if your knee is down. He had no control of the ball.

Edit: Anyone remember how the refs gave the same kind of TD to Shockey during the Giants game in Seattle? Guess what the NFL did the next day? They applogized appologised to Seattle calling it a touchdown!
