[QUOTE="daBuzz, post: 109375, member: 56"] My own thoughts: 1) There's no way the replay booth was going to overturn the fumble on the goal line. The problem was that the officials on the field didn't blow the whistle to stop the clock. I supposed it's possible for a replay official to study the frames and determine if all forward progress is stopped but I don't know if he would even have the authority to overturn the call based on that. The fault in this case goes to the refs on the field. 2) Justin's play was a fumble....plain and simple. I don't like that it happened but it did. Watch how far his arm goes past where his normal release point was. He pump fakes and tries to pull the ball down. By the time the ball comes out of his hand, it's down near his leg...and no one throws a pass from down there; not even Tim Tebow with his awful throwing motion. If I had been refereeing the game, I would have ruled it a fumble as well, despite the fact that it nearly snatched my heart out of my throat, threw it on the ground and stomped it flat. [/QUOTE]
