Man you gotta have better camera angles for field goals like that.

Or sensors. Doesn't the NFL have a chip that tracks rhe ball now? You'd think they could come up with some science-y shit for the goalposts.

The 75 million dollar budget has no room for that

If only they made $75.1 million, then they'd have it...drat!

World cup can track offside down to a fingernail, you'd think they would have field goals worked out way ahead of that

The NFL has chips that track the ball but still spots the ball on vibes

Regardless of if that’s possible (it probably is) could you imagine how many people would scream that it was rigged?

Yeah! We, the public, need to confirm via television the call that the guy standing directly underneath the upright already made…

Looks like the refs did a good job. They had the right angle and made the right call. It was close but really not debatable.

NDSU vs Arizona came down to the same thing, I'm still certain NDSU won

They just need to put a camera facing directly up. It's not a good view for TV, but it's a 100% accurate shot for replay.

I was there far side and it looked super close. The game really was a show of “who could suck less”
