Every team gets screwed over at some point. It does happen. It's happened to the Pack quite recently and yet next week we will all forget it. I think that with the angle of the official and Bakhtiari's head snapping back it looked like his hand was up in his chin or neck area (which is the penalty). It's tough with replay because you are getting such a different angle then what the official might be seeing. Am I happy that the Pack won, hell yes I am. Am I smart enough to think that they shouldn't have won, of course.
As for PI challenge. The league has come out to say that it's for egregious errors. Basically unless it's like the Saints/Rams of last year, it's not going to be over turned. My stance has always been that it should be looked at in live speed and if it doesn't scream egregious then it stands as called. No human eye can go down to the slo-mo aspect and should not be expected to.
