Did you even watch the game.? Third down, Romo hits Witten over the middle for a nice gain to about the Seattle 3 yard line or so. Measurement taken, 1st down missed by a couple inches, field goal tried, Romo botched the snap. Many thought the spot given to Witten was bad, that he in fact did have the 1st down. We then would have ran it in and won the game. Cant say myself if it was a bad spot or not...pretty close really.
What you guys are forgetting is that he was given a first down. A booth review overturned the spot.
What still kills me to this day is that there was no good angle on the replay. One of the rules of thumb for replay as I've always believed it to be was that you needed CONCLUSIVE evidence to overturn a call or in this case a spot.
There was no conclusive evidence in the replay. It's why you, I and everyone else who say the game couldn't say for certain where the ball should have been spotted.
Yet the booth called down on it's own I believe (within 2 mins) for a review. And then arbitrarily overturn the spot with CLEAR EVIDENCE.
What really pisses me off is that it mostly want unnoticed because Romo's bobbled hold became the story.
