Charger Bronco game thriller

But see the thing is that it is such an easy call.  I can understand if it was a harder call, but on such an easy call?  Then replay machine broken?  WTF is that?  It is there to work and should be. 

And airplanes are there to fly. Sometimes they don't.

And airplanes are there to fly. Sometimes they don't.

I don't mean to flame, but that was a bad analogy, but ill make it work.  Airplanes don't fly (im assuming you mean crashing) due to negelecting mantiance most of the time.  Then as for operator error.  This call was like landing w/o landing gear.  How can you miss that?  THese ref's are paid to get it right.  Somebody who posted earlier was right.  The NFL must maintain its integrity.  To have its officals mess up this bad when it could affect the out come of the playoff and perhaps even a superbowl if Denver gets there.  It would be like steroids.  Put an * next to it.  Look what the lose of Integrity has done to MLB.  It just started recovering a few years ago, only to be bit in the butt this year.

Steroids?

In one case, you've got players intentionally violating the rules of the game in order to get an unfair advantage.

In the other case you've got what is probably the best ref. in the game making an honest mistake in a judgment call on an unusual play and correctly applying the rules.

Sorry, but my airplane analogy (pilot making an honest mistake, equipment failing) was a lot more pertinent than your steroid analogy.
