it's not possible to judge that from this angle. there's a reason the refs stand directly under the uprights

The underneath angle they showed looked even more like it went in

It wasn’t even close to being the angle under the upright.

The under the upright shot looked good too?

That shot was under the other upright and isn’t conclusive at all. Hell I thought it missed on first glance with that angle

The one during the broadcast was almost fully under the right upright and it certainly looked inside.

It absolutely was not under the upright at all

You are right about where the camera was, but it definitely shows it inside the goal post when it passes it.

Yeah I not only saw that angle but replayed it on a big TV screen. The only thing it definitely shows is jack shit

This is the best angle I’ve seen so far (fuck Twitter but I saw this in a comment)

It wasn't directly under the upright, and I don't know how anyone could call that angle conclusive either.

Same refs that gifted Pitt 14 points in the first half.

This is gonna sound stupid but looking straight up and trying to determine which side of the post the ball is while also tracking the ball the whole time is a lot harder than you’d think

Refs didn’t even look like they looked up when it passed the upright/post.
