Rules are set before the season starts and will not change till next season. This is the correct way to handle this. That way, ALL teams get to discuss the rule changes and it isn't a change made on a drastic event or people crying.

Again, when you play the full thing fast, you can see where the refs might have confusion as to who initially grabbed the ball (grabbed together or not).

Remember, doesnt matter who ends up with it after 5 minute struggle or who can tear it away once on the ground its who put their hands on it first and then went down with it. And in joint possession it goes to the offense.

again, in slow mo replay from multiple angles we can obviously see what should have been called. Look at it in full speed from the angles the ref's had and again, you can understand the initial confusion. Compounded by the fact that possession cannot be reviewed, once decided, they could not over turn it.

But, when one ref is calling one thing, and the other is calling something different, and neither is the "white hat" ref, they should have all gotten together to confer before signaling ANYTHING. That was a huge mistake.

end of story. but were all gonna cry about it until the next mistake the refs make. And then when the real ref's get back, were gonna cry about them too.

Why do we watch such a pathetic game, then? We like crying, I guess.
