Where was the camera that shoots straight down the goal line? Anybody ever not seen that angle on a big broadcast before? I think we would have had the TD if that angle had been available
I've been saying that for a while. Is it that hard to put a sensor in the ball and pylons?SonicHawk":23ec3e5u said:Just put a sensor in the ball.
No shit...isn't that always the issue with plays around the goal line12HawkFan":3gkprmr8 said:The issue here is not so much if the ball passed the goal line, but was he down before the ball crossed the goal line so some kind of ball sensor at the goal line would be useless in this case.
A standard set of camera angles that would include a view looking straight down the goal line plus at least a given amount of distance before the goal line would in this case be able to answer the question was he down by contact before the ball passed the goal line or not.
The only reply shown on TV that was even close was behind the goal line so it was impossible to determine if it was or was not indeed a touchdown.
Bottom line today is PC did not challenge the play so it's over and done with.
GO HAWKS!!!
Well that and you couldn't do what's necessary to keep the score close and the TV viewership level as high as possible.JKent82":yqj0ngx0 said:They really need two permanent cameras on each side of the end zone pointing straight down the line that are completely stationary and are just used for challenges.
Except that'd make too much sense. :roll:

I agree, but how would it have mattered on this particular play? The ball crossed the goal line, but the question is was Moeaki's knee down at the time.
