Much like Nantz mentioned in the NE/KC game on the roughing the passer call. Not only was it in real time and as you stated, hot and wide. The positioning on that ref may have caused it to appear from his angle that the defender and the ball were at the same time and he DID NOT want to throw a flag and cause a sh!tstorm. Lot of elements not discussed. However, people will argue if that is the case, at least throw flag for helmet to helmet. So not winning no matter what.To the challenging PI's. You are spot on. Crews are so spotty. They're like baseball umpires, they each have their own strike zone. But some of these NFL crews are worse because they make calls and also DONT make calls in the same game. Let them play or be very stingy, but have it be structured for the duration of the game. I do feel that challenging PIs would open up pandoras box for future reviews and slow the games down. Only time before a bad PI call in the 2Q is challenged and another bad in the 4Q and the uproar that already used a challenge so cannot do anything about the 2nd missed call. Think it'd have to come from upstairs if they go that route.</blockquote>
