When the Ravens beat the Browns and the referees stole the game from the Ravens. The NFL needs to tell their referees that you can't use the instant replay system on a game-ending missed field goal. Field goals are not reviewable.
Beyond that, the kick was clearly no good, as it bounced off the uprights back into the playing field. It would be good if it had bounced through the uprights, but it went back onto the field, so it was clearly no good.
Will the NFL correct the latest screwup by their incompetent officiating crews?

What are you talking about? The kick was good.

Did you even watch that? the ball hit the part that connects the crossbar to the ground. That post is behind the crossbar. Therefore, the field goal is good because it went through the uprights. If that call had been made in favor of your ravens I am sure that you would not be whining about it. They got the call correct. If they can't use replay on a game-winning field goal, then what good is it? Look up the replay and you'll see that the ball goes through the uprights before coming back out. And maybe if your ravens would stop the browns with 30 seconds left or in overtime you wouldn't be crying right now. I'm happy for the NFL to finally get a call right. It would have been a disgrace if they got that call wrong.
By the way I'm a Dolphins fan, so I'm just callin it how I see it. I have no bias. I just want to win one game.

The only wrong that needs to be righted from that game is that field goals should be reviewable.
Instant replay was not used, and the kick clearly was good, as the ball hit the support bar at least one football length behind the crossbar, which meant the ball went between the uprights and crossed the end line, making it a good kick.
The officiating crew if anything should be applauded for getting the call right.

Clearly you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The ball hit the upright and then hit the back beam after going threw the uprights, and then bounced back threw the uprights and onto the field. Perhaps you'd like home runs that are hit over the fence and off the scoreboard back onto the field to not count as a home run? Or a WR who catches a ball in the end zone for a TD and runs out of the back of the end zone to not be called a TD because the WR didn't stay in the end zone? The field goal was good, they got the call right, stop your b*tching and let it go.

They didn't use instant replay, the head official discussed it with the other officials especially the two back judges at the goal post and from there corrected the call. I think you must be one of the ref's from the Oregon and Oklahoma game last year if you think that ball "clearly" didn't cross the cross bar. It hit the support beam on the back side and bounced back on to the field. Although I'm beginning to think that you cannot be serious and are only attempting to bait people, figured this should be addressed since there ARE folks who think that way.

First off, the field goal was good...and if you disagree with me on that, then you need glasses or you need to check the NFL rulebook...Secondly, the referee clearly said "discussion"...and did you see him go under the booth?...Nope, he just discussed it...Thirdly, is there any news of such a bad officiating crew?...No...why? Because they made the right call...They are getting praised by everybody...and if there's a problem then they'll get punished accordingly...
So keep crying Ravens fans...Edgar, Allan, and Poe won't be cheering for a while...

ummmmm...buddy it was the right call...I'm not sure why the issue needs discussed. The field goal was good, and why in the hell shouldn't a game ending field goal not be reviewed? Some things can be missed, therefore it makes sense to review the call. I'm assuming your a Baltimore fan...and if so...I'm sure that if the roles were reversed you would have wanted them to review the call if it depended on them winning...

First of tell your coach to use his brain next time and not to kick to one of the most dangerous kick returners in the league ( Joshua Cribbs ) and second the kick was good. Third your just mad that the Ravens have had a good defense for a while but the couldnt stop the browns monster offense. o and tell your offense to learn how to tackle after that 100 interception return.....
Go Browns
O and your also just mad cause the browns have a better recond than you guys.... have a nice day

You are wrong. It clearly went THROUGH the uprights, hit the support bar, and came back into play. Because it actually DID go through the uprights, the kick is good.

you are right on the video part
but the kick was good, it hit off the one of the uprights and hit the bar on the back that holds both the uprights up and bounced out

I'd hardly call getting the call right a 'screwup', and appreciate the ref stepping up to make sure that the right call WAS made. But its hard to believe that ANY scoring play isn't subject to review, especially when it could affect the outcome of a game.
