Virtually no one wants to see a Super Bowl decided by a penalty like that.



This is really what it comes down too. If you're a Chiefs fan, obviously you are going to take it; but you can't convince me it doesn't taint it in at least some small way. We were all deprived of an exciting ending to a pretty exciting Super Bowl because a ref interjected himself into a play where he didn't need to and shouldn't have.

That was about as unexciting as a super bowl winning FG can possibly get. That call completely deflated the game.

There was an article on the Rant recently about refs having post-game press conferences..... which I think is brilliant. In cases like this either the moment is to big for the ref; or he wants to interject and make the call. Both are bad. Make the default be "it's much easier defending a missed call than a bad call". The default, especially in situations like this, should be to swallow your whistle. Don't call something that hasn't been called all game. My $.02
