Indeed it was, and this is where SJBF is really on to something.
The problem in any sport is that officials will be fallible. In football, that problem is magnified, since a minor infraction, if called, can invalidate a decisive play at any time, even if the infraction has no impact on the play itself (for a painful Bills example, how about the thown-in-a-fraction-of-a-second flag for delay of game against the Bills on 4th down in the Cincy playoff game in January 1982?) , just as a major infraction, if missed, can allow a decisive play to stand. I have no idea how to eradicate such dangers, but there it is.
