I guess that's why it's one of the most controversial calls in NFL history. I have no dog in the fight - TN and Buf aren't my teams - but here are the facts that any replay will bear out. When Wycheck throws the ball, both of his feet are on the TN side of the 25. When Dyson catches the ball, one foot of his is on the 25 and one is on the 26 yard line. He catches the ball between his legs, closer to the 25. This really isn't in dispute. I suppose the question is did Wycheck's arm cross the 25 enough to make it lateral or not? Frankly, I don't really know. Still, the Bills should have known better and should have been on the lookout for something like that. That no one was over there is a breakdown of epic proportions.
I always thought the non-interference call in the Giants/49ers game was the worst call in the last 20 years or so...even worse than the tuck rule (which ranks up there in absurdity).
