We the tv audience should be in on those “upstairs decisions”. All challenge discussion should be had out in the open. Sounds crazy, I know, but what do they have to hide?? When you think about it, it’s crazy that key decisions on what we can clearly see on the field on tv are made in secret. There’s zero reason for it.
It’s not only spotting. It’s forward progress on the sidelines too. On the final drive, Allen got shoved out of bounds, and if anything I guess he went out laterally. I honestly thought his forward momentum was reversed by the defender, in play, and I was worried to see the clock still running. But he stuck out the ball too, so what’s the deal with that?! Of course Colinsworth comments that it’s a good thing Josh is BEAST, inferring the judge’s call was correct. On another play, down the near sideline inside the ten yard line I believe, it looked like Shakir got out of bounds on his own accord yet the clock ran.
