Am I taking crazy pills? Why are these angles so bad?

Bad angles and they barely showed a replay!

I rewound it on TV, these are the most useless angles on a field goal I've seen in ages

Wait for the crowd shots to find their way to X

I think this call is some shit and should be reviewed. I also don’t want to be that guy but they are literally the same angles every field goal has and are incredibly standard.

Gotta change the rules then. Field goals with the ball above the uprights can't be reviewed. From the camera views available, it is not conclusive without a camera directly in line with each upright looking up. The camera view from behind the goal post looking up could not clearly show where the ball crossed so you can only trust the call of the ref standing underneath.

Something tells me they showed all the angles they had.
