The ONLY defense that Gilmore has related to his comments...
...is that there really wasn't a good angle to see what happened. The two review angles they did show, they showed them after whatever had happened had happened and the WR was tripping and going to the ground. So they didn't really even see what happened, just the results of the contact.
At one point one of them said something like "unless something happened before that, that we didn't see..."
And that's exactly what happened. They didn't see the most egregious actions that actually led to the penalty.
Now that it's been a few days - wasn't that also the play that the defender intercepted the ball? I can see a ref letting it slide if the result is just an incomplete pass. But if the result changes possession, then they really have to call it, in my opinion.

Yeah, you don't stop being a referee just because one team is up big. An obvious foul is still a foul.

That is a very different point than "I'm glad they didn't call that a PI" which is, frankly, really dumb

No it is not. "I'm glad they didn't call a blatant PI" is much dumber than "We should stop whining about it"

This smacks of the "unwritten rules" fiasco in baseball. Officiate the game straight up, for Pete's sake! Stupid refs.
