The AFL is a bigger joke than the NFL

[coldhardfacts]

Can you believe that they gave the Soul a TD on the last play AFTER reviewing the replay? The receiver's knee was clearly down at least 1/2 yard before the goal line.

Why even review the replay? Why even bother to play the game?

Would you expect the AFL to be less of a joke compared to the NFL?

It wasn't conclusive, but if you had to make a common sense guess he did look down. At real time speed there's no way you could of tell if he was down or not so the Ref's made the right call. U see it all the time in the NFL, and there's no way the Ref's going to reverse a decisive call like that in front of the home crowd.

EXACTLY MY POINT! At real time speed you couldn't tell, but on replay it was conclusive that the runner was down. You're right, they aren't going to change the call in front of the home crowd - especially in Philly. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A FRIGGIN PLAYOFF GAME!! WHICH IS WHY THE SPORT IS A JOKE!!!!

And the same exact thing would have happened if it had been the NFL.

I have to admit that it was a very questionable call, but why did not New York get at least 1.3 seconds on the clock?
