it's a terrible rule, it really is, but it wasn't misinterpreted. i think they were told to call everything by the book before this game and so they did, for fear of the job more or less. so basically its a good call on a bad rule, and i'm surprised this rule hasn't been changed yet. i knew they wouldnt change it right away after the season cuz that would be admitting that they were wrong. and its actually gotten even worse since, now they have to call it on things like that rookie throwing the ball down after he was down, but not by contact. ruled an incomplete forward pass, lol.

do i think they got lucky? absolutely. do i think it completely negates the fact that they won the super bowl that year, as you suggested earlier in the post? no, thats fucking ridiculous.
