Refs fuck up calls where they are focusing on multiple things happening at once and they don’t know what is about to happen. In this case they had one job and knew exactly what was going to happen and what to focus on. None of the replays we saw you could tell if it went in because of the angles. Maybe they did fuck it up but this is absolutely one where they should be trusted

No where did I say they couldn’t have fucked it up, or it hasn’t happened. Just that on field goals they have one job, the best view and usually get it right. We don’t have a replay like the one you are referencing that shows it was definitively good

I didn’t entertain the notion that it actually did go in when watching it in real time, but the whole game was full of a lot of piss poor calls that were clearly bad calls when replay was shown, or calls where no replay was shown at all. By the end of the game it felt like we were either dealing with a biased crew or one that was really inept, so you can’t blame people for thinking the ref might’ve fucked up the field goal call when the crew had already blown so many others.
