The thing about the officiating that drives me NUTS is that they often base their call on the safe choice and force the coach to challenge. THEN, there has to be conclusive evidence.

In the case of the Roth TD run, I saw the side judge hold his hand up as if to signal 4th down and THEN switch to the arms up TD call. Now it's up to video to inconclusively show that the ball DIDN'T cross the plane.

Thats crap.

Bingo. That's exactly what happened. And I'm a Viking fan so I could care less who wins this game.
