Horrible that the on field ref did not make a call, but the eye in the sky reviewed, and could not justify making the call retroactively from the evidence. 

The thing is, before the whistle, the TSN "flag" indicator goes up on the chyron.  It stays up for 5s then disappears after the play.  But when they show the all-24 shot on replay I don't see any nylon on the field.  I don't see any ref throw a flag.

Anyhow, that's why I said before they didn't announce or pick up the flag TSN said was there.  Maybe it's because there was no flag and TSN got it wrong.

So frustrating trying to sort this all out when false signals are given.  I'll go with the assumption now there was no flag, which jives better with how the refs and command handled it.

Its strange indeed the linesman leaves the line on a passing play with a 7 man crew. They have 3 officials downfield to cover pass interference, the 2 linesmen are supposed to stay on the line and call IFP, which is tough to do if you leave your post. Brutal mechanics by the line officials and they blew that call only to be followed up by CC blowing the call!!

The lady line judge at the bottom of the screen (see all-24 replay) stays at her post until the ball is thrown.  She did it right.  It also appears she was watching that LoS like a hawk for IFP.  But it was around 50 yards away from her, so she couldn't really judge.

The dude judge  at the top starts running down right at the worst time.  I'm pretty sure he'll get demerits for that.  I bet he calls that IFP if he remains at his post.

Watch the all-24 replay to see how this all plays out.
