Chains can still be brought out for measurement. Someone made comment that “modern football” doesn’t measure anymore. 

That was me. 

Of course they measure when it's close.

But I remember how often they'd measure "back in the day" and it was a yard short.

Probably what Bubba is still used to.

Waste of time. Now they only measure when's its within an inch or two.

Probably wasn't that close. And Bubba didn't have a reason to get upset.

Refs didn't do anything wrong is all I'm saying.

Usually you get to that spot of the field with no timeouts, you take two shots at the end zone and kick a field goal if you don’t connect. Not with our two yard passes and hope for someone to break tackles in an area of the field where that is very difficult.  If you watch that last play, Tommy was the only one with sense. Everyone else stood there without trying to get open.

I get it but no reason for that poor officiating 

When I watched it live it looked like the ref actually spotted the ball correctly and it was a half yard short of first down.  No need to measure.  If this was western with the ball and they stopped to measure I think everyone would have been pissed at the refs.
