Now personally I think it was PI in the first place and they shouldn't have picked up the flag. But there are missed calls all over the place. Suh got to play; the PI was picked up. It evens out.
Whatever the call, changing it after announcing it is garbage and just wrong. Its like calling a tripping call, having the guy sit in the box, and then pulling him out before the puck drops. And then Dez running out on the field and complaining gets no call either.

The other issue at play here is that NFL stupidly slams together individual refs into a crew for playoffs, after having them in the same crews for the 17 week season.

As was said on the broadcast, it's not even all-stars yet....70 of the 110 refs make it to the post season, the best of the best then get to to the AFC/NFC Championship games and Superbowl.

Had this been a crew that had been together all season, not a bunch of random guys who don't know each other as far as being able to communicate, I can almost guarantee they would've communicated better and either confirmed or pulled the call back before announcing it.
