If both of them agreed the kick was no good, I think it would have been much harder, if not impossible, to lobby for a discussion.<BR/><BR/>The NFL needs to give refs the freedom to review such plays on a case-by-case basis. The argument that "field goals can't be reviewed because everyone would want to have kicks reviewed" is ludicrous. Field goals are pretty cut-and-dried 99.9 percent of the time. The ball passes between the uprights and over the crossbar, it's good. Otherwise, it's no good.<BR/><BR/>The other one-tenth of one percent when the outcome is in question should be reviewable. Replays would have clearly shown the refs that Dawson's kick was good. To think that the call could have been blown despite the availabllity of irrefutable video evidence to the contrary is the kind of things that keep Browns fans up at night.<BR/><BR/>We've been screwed over by the refs before (2001 bottle-throwing game). At least it didn't happen this time. But it could have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
