On the Pickens play, the ref closest to the play threw a bean bag, indicating fumble and therefore a catch. Then they huddle and say incomplete. Why was that the call on the field when the closest guy had it right in real time?
Spector seemingly recovered the ball inbounds in real time on the broadcast. But the refs huddle and say out of bounds. Wouldn't the easier call have been the play was a fumble recovery which would be reviewed to see if it wasn't?
Feels like these "huddles" of refs may have NY in their ears as well and looking to create a more competitive game after 3/4 of the previous games had been lopsided. Or the refs are just that terrible, hard to say.
