.what's the point of having replay to get calls right when you hamstring yourself as to what is and isn't reviewable.

I don't know if you noticed, but EVERYTHING was a fumble last Saturday. Even clear instances when the runner was obviously down, they called it a fumble just to give the replay guys an opportunity to review the call.

If you watch that play at the end of the Auburn game, the ref has the whistle in his mouth before the snap. No way that guy isn't blowing the whistle immediately. I just find it strange they go to the extreme in every other instance to keep the play alive except for the one that proved to be most crucial.
