I didn't see the game last night, but was interested to read this article this morning.

I'm going to try to find video of this play and reversal to ascertain whether there was indisputable visual evidence to justify overturning the fumble.
Too bad she doesn't cheer for the Patriots dressed like this
Are you asking why I found the article interesting or why I want to look at video to see if a controversial call that potentially changed the momentum and/or outcome of the game was correctly overturned?
I found the article interesting because you have a well respected former official saying there wasn't indisputable evidence to overturn the call on the field while the NFL official says there was. If two officials can't agree on whether there was indisputable evidence, that seems to indicate there wasn't indisputable evidence.
I am interested in the video for that very reason. If there wasn't indisputable evidence then a frequent Broncos fan rant against Brady can be used against Manning - "the NFL and its officials are always making calls to help and protect their golden boy Manning".

Oh and don't ever let me hear a Bronco fan talking shit about Brady for yelling at his receivers.
I think when people make comments about officials making calls to protect Brady...they are referring to calls that specifically involve Brady. Not the kick returners.
As far as the fumble...yeah...the refs blew it. But I look at it as just a balance. Sometimes calls go for you...sometimes they dont. Seattle got screwed on a fumble play against the Rams late in the game. But no one really mentions much because the Seahawks typically benefit from those calls.
Eventually the bad call or bad replay review that goes against you will come back to benefit you somewhere else...and vice versa. Football karma, if you will.
Peyton is being ripped by fans of all NFL teams right now on PFT for being such a douche last night.
I think the yelling at receivers thing was blown out of proportion. If you are a proven QB in the NFL and you are trying to motivate your team to do what they get paid for and nothing else has worked...get on their asses. Did it seem excessive at the time considering the players experience level? Sure...but Brady did eventually admit to that and I'm sure his receivers forgot about it immediately.
Now, yelling at the crowd to be quiet at the end of a game against a division rival that you are about to crush...different story. I'm sorry, but if I paid my money for the ticket and the beer, etc...**** you! I'll scream and cheer if I want to...while you pretend you've been in a situation like this before as a veteran QB of 15+ seasons.
