Why don't the NFL refs call everything touchdowns (or turnovers)?

It's bullshite that they'll always review a touchdown in New York, but if they call a controversial play in the end zone an incomplete pass, the team has to waste a challenge, and then lose a challenge and a timeout if there's no indisputable evidence.

So why not call everything even remotely close a touchdown and not screw over a team?

Yeah Rams got screwed. Luckily they ended up scoring a TD anyway. That was just terrible.

Because you still want to make the right call on the field. You're putting the defense at a disadvantage at that point

Changes the burden of proof. If they call it a touchdown it has to be indisputable that it's not.

Why the shite did they just blow Dalton's pass dead?

Easily could be a backwards pass.

How Cle won't get the TD of the review says it's backwards.

You know that little "call on the field stands" thing? It's not always conclusive and you can blow a call by calling it wrong on the field on purpose.
