Did shayne Graham Miss the game winning FG?

Isn't it time to make the uprights taller? Everything in the NFL is biggerfasterstronger, and so are kickers. If the uprights had a few more feet on top, it would help.

Though as a Bengals fan, I can live with the call on Sunday :)
 
It's time to microchip the ball. No more need to review anything. The sensors go off when the ball crosses the plane of the goal line, through wherever the uprights would be, etc.
 
Watching the kick, I thought he missed it, too, but I'll take the referees' word for it. Watching a game in person or on TV, I'm often wrong about whether a field goal is good or not. It's really just about impossible to see if the ball hooks before or after the posts. There was never any controversy. The refs were both in agreement that it was good. I'd be 99 percent sure it was good.

What happens when the microchip breaks?

Soccer.
 
When he kicked it I said, "Geez, he missed it!" But at some point, they did a shot from the front of the goal posts and you can see that it went through.
 
I'm not claiming a conspiracy or blown call.
I'd settle for my wife not thinking I was insane for hollering out -- he missed it -- and then seeing the refs raise their arms.
 
Good.

From the endzone view, it looked wide right.

Other view shows it was just inside the goalpost.
