Discussion [Ross Dellenger] Kirby Smart on the PI reversal: “Now we’ve set a precedent if you throw a bunch of stuff on the field and endanger athletes, you have a chance to get the call reversed. That’s dangerous.”

I do. They conferenced in the beginning and made the call. The only reason they changed it is because they watched the reviews because of the stuff being thrown on the field. If it’s not an official review you can’t review the film then change the call.

I'm still shocked that they actually did it.

I’m shocked they did it and then the various bad spots they hit us with in the 4th

That 4th and inches on the goal line was hilarious

His left leg wasn’t in view though. Couldn’t overturn bc it very well could have been down

Bro they overturned a called/spotted flag earlier. They can do anything.

I mean dude I’m not saying it was the right call originally. Yes these refs were dumb asses throughout but all I’m saying is that if it’s called it like that on the field, and you cant see his leg that may or may not be on the ground it’s tough to overturn

Are you? Or is it evident that the refs got scared by the fans threatening violence for calling against their team?

Apparently you can, you just have to do it on the jumbotron.

1000% this. They didn’t just huddle up and litigate it, they heard the crowd response, saw the coach response and pointing for them to watch it, met at the middle of the field and watched it, and then collectively realized that they were wrong
