He absolutely did. People just forget that the superimposed yellow broadcast line is never official.
lol nice job

Heads up that this image isn't of the official stick marker either (why there's no chain on it and it's not the first down marker).
The official yardage marker sticks are on the other side of the field, and that down marker is just the guy trying to line up parallel from 53 yards away.
Anyone using either this marker or the TV line as the definitive answer is full of it. We don't actually know, and where Graham is actually down is shielded by Hill's body either way so it doesn't even really matter.
The basic point still stands though that if a team's win or loss comes down to a few inches on a call that can go either way, it is the team that has put themselves in that position.

How are you gonna to tell exactly where the ball was at the exact time the runner is down? Reviewing that every time would make the game last 6 hours.Originally posted by CatchMaster80:With all the technology they have introduced isn't it time they use a laser or GPS instead of that chain. Not only does it waste time but I never could understand how that could be accurate. The team runs out on the field, sites with the sideline and then stretches the chain which could be longer or shorter depending on temperatures. There are more accurate ways to do this.

Originally posted by Curlin:Back in the days when football was really good, they would spot the ball and measure it and move on. Now we have to wait 15 minutes and listen to a bunch of BS from buck and aikman while any momentum by a team dissipates into the air. Thanks Goodell, another great job f**king up the game.
Originally posted by FredFlintstone:more and more im starting to get a sickening feeling the NFL wants to see super bowl I match up in its 100th year with GB and KC. Then again nobody gives a f**k about what happened in the 60's, a 9ers chiefs sb seeing a d like ours go against an offense like theirs would be crazy ratings
