My point is that even though they could have taken more time to assure the correct call, it seemed pretty evident that it was the correct call.
you're missing my point .. if they review and confirm the call one way or another, at least it was done ..
eta: arguing that there was NO reason to at least review the last fumble is just fricking stupid .. it's the SUPER BOWL .. pretty good reason to me ..

the booth DID review the play and they saw enough not to get the ref involved.

link?
seriously, how do you know they did a booth review, phan ?? michaels and madden were commenting when it happened that they weren't reviewing it ... the talking heads on the ESPN set were commenting on why the booth didn't review it .. jim rome was bitching about the booth not reviewing it, just to name a few ... but YOU know that the booth reviewed it ?? come on, you're better than that, brah ...
i am not saying absolutely that the wrong call was made .. i am saying the time should have been taken to at least review it and give it the same attention that the TD pass got ... what's 3 minutes extra in a game that was already almost at the 4 hour mark ?? once again, it's the fricking super bowl ...

The booth looks at every play, how do you think they decide which plays to get the ref to look at it too?
All of those people are talking about an offical "booth review" in which they call the ref into look at it.

I really don't get the point of people saying it should have been reviewed. It didn't take more than 1 or 2 looks to see that was clearly a fumble. Why stop play to confirm the obvious?

I really don't know BilJ. They had a minute to look at the play and decide whether or not to review, they saw the obvious and we moved on.

I thought it was pretty obvious when I seen it in real time. The league said they looked at it and saw the right call was made. I wish the league would hurry threw allot of the obvious challenged plays instead of taking the full time. It slows the game down when everyone can tell after the first 5 seconds of review what the right call is.

i just don't think it is play in a game of that magnitude that you take a quick glance at .. that's all .. it's like baking a cake that you've done a thousand times in your life ... then all of a sudden, you have to bake it for the queen of england ... that's the one time you stop and make sure you follow the recipe ... it's the super bowl .. just make sure of it .. if you were already sure on your fast glance .. stop play and look at it a few more times to make double sure ... don't leave anything to chance ... that's my point .. dunno what the big deal is ...

like in CFB.

i'm pretty sure they did more than glance at it, although it didn't take much more than a glance to see what happened. Why are we still arguing this, after seeing it 1000 times the last 2 days you still think it wasn't an obvious fumble?

It didn't take more than 2 angles to see that was an obvious fumble. Would wasting everyone's time to make an obvious call have made you feel that much better? Do you really think the guys in the booth were like "Was that a fumble? ah frick it I'm ready to get to the after parties. Lets get the hell out of here."

the challenging in CFB needs to be addressed this offseason.

it wasn't an "obvious" fumble .. it was a judgement call that could have been interpreted either way, imo ... i've seen that type play a hundred times .. drew brees this past season, like you said, for example, and i have seen that call go both ways ... just would have been more satisfied with the decision had more time been taken to verify it ... that's been my main argument on the matter ...

bilj -- for the hundredth time -- what's the fricking hurry ? ... how can you possibly "waste the time" of people paying $400 .. $800 .. $1200 for tickets, people that invested the last 6 months of their lives religiously following football, fans of both teams, etc. .. to take three extra minutes to make damn sure you made THE right call on what at the time is THE most important play in THE super bowl ... i'm not arguing whether or not it was a fumble .. just take your time making the right call ... that's all i'm fricking saying .. at a certain point .. all of us, me included, are going to be arguing just for the sake of arguing on this issue ..

agree to disagree here.
I don't think it was a judgement call.

They did take 3 minutes to review the most important plays of the superbowl. The TD at the end of the 1st half and the Holmes TD with 30 seconds left.

they review much more blatant plays throughout the whole season, in meaningless games
i think it at least deserved a harder look

looked like the arm was fully cocked back when warner lost control
