2 ULTRA QUESTIONABLE calls.

1) Matt Ryan throws down the field and our DB gets called for pass interference. They get the ball for an easy 1st and goal at the 1 yard line. I would have to see the film again. But at the sports bar it appeared the DB was "touching" him a bit but I didn't see a big pull, turn, hold, dramatic interference. You can touch the player to TRACK the player when the ball is in the air. Guys do it all the time. Otherwise you lose the player when you turn to look back for the ball. I don't get that call at all.

2) At the end of the game the Falcons player is tackled and it is ruled short of the endzone with no timeouts left for Atlanta. So how are they challenging this play? They have no way to challenge this right? Also this was NOT a scoring play at least on the field. So why were they entitled to a booth review which over turned the call on the field? I don't get it? Why did they give them the booth review? It was not a scoring play. They did not score at least on the field. Further the angle of the camera was funny. It was not straight up and down the sideline. There were some degrees of difference there. From that angle it's difficult to tell IMO. I don't think that is what it looked like on the field. The angle straight down the line was a different angle. It is real close. But I don't know if there was enough to over turn that from that angle.

............

We lost... move on, even if we won , it still would have felt as a lost because our defense is let's face it no longer elite and that to me hurts the most for us now

Yeah but the play before was a touchdown they took from the Falcons so...

The last play was a clear td.

we got two bogus roughing the passer calls so it evens up.

The play where he TRAPPED the ball on the ground? You can't TRAP the ball on the ground and call it a catch. That's not a catch. You can't use the ground to make a catch.

Bruh he clearly crossed the goaline with the ball

The one on Jimmy G's legs was a little weak. I know after the Brady rule changes they don't want guys going at the legs. But I didn't think that looked severe. He was just trying to tackle him by his legs. Which happens sometimes when you dive for a tackle. I will admit that was probably a pretty bad call. But by actual rule the refs may have a point. The rules are just weak since Brady got hurt and they changed them.

He's saying we should have won based on a technicality (his point #2).

I don't know how reviews work under 2 minutes. But the right call was made after review. All we needed to do was jam 11 more at the line and it's a win.

OK lets assume he did cross the goal line. Why did they get the review from both. He was ruled down in the field of play, short of the goal line, no timeouts left for Atlanta, time expired, no way to challenge it. On the field it was not ruled a score. So why are they reviewing a "scoring" play? Because it was not called that on the field? They got bailed out.

It's at the discretion of the booth what plays get reviewed under 2 minutes.

Possibly the right call was made on the review. But why did they get the review? The player is ruled down, tackled in the field of play, not a score on the field, no timeouts left for Atlanta, time expires. Then they get a boot review? Why? What a bailout....

yeah your right on that, but on your second point in your original post it was a touchdown and the ref didn't make the right call. So we can't really complain about that one because if it was the other way around and they reversed it we would all be for it.

But that play was NOT ruled a score on the field of play. So it's questionable to get a booth review which ended up being very costly.

Not questionable at all.

Inside 2 minutes all reviews come from the replay assistant in the booth regardless of whether it is a scoring play or not. That was the right call by the replay assistant unfortunately.
