I know people are pissed at Kubes and trust me I was every bit more pissed. I was screaming to run another play myself. However, after looking at it again, I can see how there could be a bit of confusion even for the guys in the box due to one thing that happened.
The guy that recovers the ball inbounds looks as if to say he recovered the ball to the refs. Then the ref asks for the ball almost to tell him it was out of bounds, so the Colt player flips the ball back to the ref. In all honesty, that dude could've ran the ball all the way back for a TD. The fact that he flips the ball back to the refs is probably what caused the guys upstairs to think nothing of it. If you recall, Kubiak said that someone told him they thought they were disputing the spot of the ball. The fact that Kubes or Shanny wasn't on that side to know if there was a fumble or whatever, and add to the fact that Kube made since in not wanting to give Manning 2:30 to score again after seeing what he was already doing, I can understand what was going on there.
I couldn't tell if the ball hit the Colt guy laying out of bounds myself. However, the rule is they can dispute if the ball went out of bounds or not because the ruling was that it was out of bounds. Moats does lose the ball before he is down, but if there was inconclusive evidence of the ball hitting a Colt player it's pretty understandable why they would go in the Colts favor.
I do have a problem with the clock not stopping and no time being added to the clock because there could've been a chance for an easier FG or possible score still. I also do have a problem with the phantom Connor Barwin offsides, and then hearing Winston say that Mathis was being advised to back up out of the neutral zone.
