I'm not asking to have the win/loss reversed, but it would be nice if you'd come clean and admit that you messed up. Right now, my opinion has you somewhere between roller derby and pro wrestling.

I agree, but there is no chance they can do that. They have to support the refs and their decisions, because afterall it's the NFL's choice to keep using them. If they come out and show a lack of support for the decisions of these officials it will DESTROY any leverage the league thinks they have against the Real Refs. As much as I (and i think most others) agree that the call was terrible, the NFL is doing the right thing in supporting the officials.
Question... Was the replay official also a replacement?
