I saw the post on the VOLS game where the dude from AP fumbled and the ruled it incomplete. There was a call like that in the Titan's game Sunday. They strip sacked the QB and Byard recovered and returned it for a TD. First they blew it dead, which isn't supposed to happen. Then they reviewed the fumble and said it was an incomplete pass. Gene Steratore said it was a fumble, every announcer and living person who wasn't a Saints fan knew it was a fumble, yet they ruled it incomplete, which allowed NO to kick a FG.

What is perplexing is we have had replay for years. We review the replay protocols and rules annually to make it less likely to get calls wrong, but it still happens too much. In addition (probably cause I am watching those games) it appears they screw TN teams more so than other teams. Maybe I am wrong about that last part, but they sure did effect the outcome of the games this weekend.
