My bigger gripe really is with replay rules.

On the catch, the side judge made a great call at speed, becuase it took 8 camera angles woven together and 7 minutes of real time to see that the ball moved literally inches in Metcalf's hand.

But a more questionable and significant play that didn't pass the live eye test, is swept away after 5 seconds because it was ruled forward progress...note, not becuaee the whistle blew because it didn't, but the opinion from one official that forward progress was stopped. Again, the ref analyst and color guy didn't agree with that call bieng so quick...so why can't that be reviewed on replay, especially since the whistle hasn't blown?
