looks like he barely made it, but that whole if any part of the ball goes over then it's good is retarded. because if they were even a little higher it would've bounced off.

I think its a good rule, I mean you cant have an infinite length goal post, you have to draw the line at some point so the thought that "if the goal post is longer" shouldn't even be mentioned. Therefore with the goal post being a finite length by establishing the rule that if any part of the ball goes over one of the post "its good" clears any discrepancies about whether the ball went through the uprights or not.

the best angle is where the refs are, right below the goal post. he said it's good, it's good.

there should be lasers at the top of the goal posts that shoot light up an extra 20-30 yards. that way if a kick is over the posts, if it crosses the path of the laser it will light up the ball red. if the ball lights up u know its good.

obviously they should have motion sensors as well for more conclusive evidence.

It's pretty much a 50/50 call. If it went the other way ravens fans would be bytching.

The Pats have literally built a dynasty off EVERY questionable call going their way for a decade, so :pacspit:

Def would be an interesting idea. A tech company should develop something like this and if they can sell the idea it to the league, imagine how much money they'd make installing this to all 32 teams, and then if they can get the NCAA on board as well, might have some money that can be made :ohhh:. But then again the league may see how rare a kick is kicked directly over an upright and not want to waste money and leave it as a judgment call.

It still wouldn't be completely objective. Sometimes the ball hits the post and goes in, sometimes it doesn't.

Its not automatically good if it goes over the post....

From the NFL Rule book:
Section 4 Field Goal
Article 1 Successful Field Goal.
(c) The entire ball must pass through the vertical plane of the goal, which is the area above the crossbar
and between the uprights or, if above the uprights, between their outside edges.

What this is saying is that the ENTIRE FOOTBALL must pass INSIDE the outside edge for the fied goal post. If it doesn't, its no good.. Looking at the video in the first post.. You can see that more than half the football is past the outside edge of the post when it goes over the post.. Missed field goal..
