I hate to be the one to say it but even if we were able to have challenged those two interference calls, it wouldn't have made much difference. The refs today know that through the use of instant replay shows inconsistency and down right stupidity on their behalf. Thats why you see so many instant replay challenges NOT overturned by the refs on the field. Here in lies the most IDIOTIC problem in the entire NFL, EGO and trying to cover your ASS.
I mean its like giving someone a second chance to admit that they were wrong about something, OFCOURSE your gonna accept the wrong decision even if its wrong, just so you don't look like a dummy.
Even if the entire world knows that it was a bad call those same refs have the power to either fess up or be jerks and ignore the bad call. This is simply RIDICULOUS. This has to be changed. We should have like others here have mentioned, refs or some sort of officials off the field monitoring EVERY play to see if it's correct. Now I'm not saying that every play could be overturned by these people but these hidden officials would in turn be the ones to have the power to overturn the challenged play, not the refs on the field who are embarrassed already. I also think that ANY play should be given the right to be challenged, aslong as you only have three challenges. Whats the point of instant replay if you cant challenge everything? WE WERE FUC*ING ROBBED.
