I looked up the Rulebook and found this...
No club protests
The authority and measures provided for in this section (UNFAIR ACTS) do not constitute a protest machinery for NFL clubs to dispute the result of a game. The Commissioner will conduct an investigation under this section only to review an act or occurrence that he deems so unfair that the result of the game in question may be inequitable to one of the participating teams. The Commissioner will not apply his authority under this section when a club registers a complaint concerning judgmental errors or routine errors of omission by game officials. Games involving such complaints will continue to stand as completed.
- NFL Rulebook
Does this mean if Goodell watches the tape, and decides the Lions got robbed he could reverse the outcome of the game?
Would anyone really blame him if he said... "The Lions got robbed due to poor rule managment... At the next Lions-Bears game (week 13), before the scheduled game plays we will play the last 26 seconds of the 1st game as if the TD counted"
It would be fine and fair! No unbiased NFL fan would call foul!
