ACC Refs

I absolutely hate blaming the refs for the final outcome so let me make it clear that this is NOT what I am doing.

During the game, the commentators mentioned that the replay booth did NOT have the ability to slow the footage down for this game. Everything they reviewed was in a REAL TIME play back. That is quite possible the worst idea ever. How many times have you seen something on the field, watched the replay...THEN watched it slowed down frame by frame and realized "Wow I was completely wrong."

Clearly this had to have been part of the reason the Sammy Watkins fumble was not overturned. They probably re watched the play a handful of times at several angles but at live action speed the evidence was not indisputable. As far has switching the rules to two-hand touch on LT3 when they called that one play dead I have absolutely know idea.

I enjoyed this article below because it calls out the ACC ref's for a change. They have constantly been berated by the social media and now I find myself doing the same.

I don't want to "coulda shoulda woulda" the hell out of this game but I do invite everyone to vent out their frustration on the officiating.
