Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 2563062, member: 153"] People are saying that Goodell's dictates this week made Riveron gun shy. I don't think that's a really crazy thing to say. I also don't care if they changed the emphasis from the season's emphasis, since after all, they also changed holding rules, etc. But if I were a Bills fan I'd wonder how that didn't get overturned while the Benjamin play was overturned. Both were carbon copies. One foot down, ball squirts out, another foot down, gains possession, next foot out of bounds. Exact same thing. Collinsworth--who has never been a Patriots rooter--was confused. Personally, I think they might want to get rid of instant replay for these situations. Unless a player is bobbling a ball and it's not in his hands, you might want to call it a TD even if it's moving all around against his body. That takes the confusion out of it. Funny thing is Collinsworth and Michaels kept calling it controversial, and this morning, there is no controversy. [/QUOTE]
