The guys in the booth aren’t replacement refs are they?

They reviewed this and did not overturn it.

From what I’ve heard about all morning on the sports shows(by rule)...that part of the call(judgement/possession)is not reviewable.

My understanding is that even if they wanted to, they could not overturn the call; all they could basically rule on is whether the pass was incomplete or not.

And therein lies the problem. Guys in the booth should be allowed to review more than possession. What made this incident worse was the failure to call offensive pass interference as one of Green Bay’s defenders was thrown to the ground before the jump ball. As a football fan without a team (abandoned the Redskins after Snyder took over), I just want to see a good game that involves the best matchup of the day, and I don’t want it decided by a referee. For now, looks like I’ll spend more time watching NASCAR instead of “WWF Football”.
