Carey announces that the replay booth had buzzed him BEFORE McCarthy threw the challenge flag, so the play was still going to be reviewed. WTF? How does this guy still have a job. The NFL should fire him for that. Seriously, after they made a big point about that rule, and how they'd leave it for this year (and never mentioned buzzer timing), then I am wondering how on earth Carey can even consider calling it the way he did.

I know they have the broadcaster's view... do they possibly have the broadcaster's audio too? It was VERY suspicious on the call where he said "they may place the ball and then respot and measure again to see if he reached the line of gain." Triplette does a 3 minute plus review, and doesn't come out until after Pereira chimes in with that gem and then comes out and says it and has the yard line wrong and such, which I thought is what they typically are doing under the hood (writing that stuff down as they pore over reviews).
