When the 'assist' results in a turnover on downs or similar, perhaps they should post the 'clear and obvious' video evidence somewhere for transparency.

Easy for them to say it was clear and obvious. Trust me dude.

Thatsa crocka dookie

Yeah I thought the spot was MUCH closer than where they moved it. It should’ve been a measurement.

Vegas fix is in, we are guaranteed the #1 pick!

100% this

What other game have you seen this happen?

Never

At least an explanation

I’ve watched the replay several times. Supposedly they don’t show all images on TV, nonetheless I saw images that showed the initial spot was closer to correct. Not sure how someone could verbally direct you where to move the ball.

Was at the game and had no idea what the hell was going on!!

It's so freaking stupid . With all of the technology, why are chains still used? They have the ability to use lasers and sensors for accuracy. Pretty ridiculous that this is the one antiquated thing they keep.

Yep. The Premier League uses chips in the balls and goal line technology to figure these things out, and the NFL can't?

My question is why is the assist even in play? I get it they want to speed up the game, but if they let the measurement happen and it's short then they are required to review the placement of the ball, as it's a turn over on downs. Then they can move the ball anywhere they want to with no questions asked. This just feeds into the conspiracy theory stuff. Imo

Me too, everyone around me was like, they just moved it back and it wasn't anywhere near that.

Personally, I thought it had crossed the yard marker. For them to bring it back behind the line and then not measure was insane. I was waiting for a challenge because of it (since those challenges note they have to cross a line, even though them by virtue of the repositioning flipped the onus being placed on needing to prove it. Which of course was BS).

Can't challenge it tho. It was a turnover so it's a automatic review.

On TV they said the OPPOSITE. The refs have less angles to work with. They don't have full access during the game to see what we see.

Demercado reached out before he was down and even then, they spotted the ball further back than where Demercado was at. It was an awful call.

Hmm, why does the second ref stop walking just in time to try to block the camera from the shot? Fishy.
