And what if the stripes actually get the RIGHT call on the two intentional grounding penalties?  Coulda, shoulda, woulda, I know, but these three plays loom very large for me, even though the 4 big pass plays we gave up were back-breakers too.

While we're at it, there were a couple issues with the long screen pass. 
As the announcers pointed out, GA could have been called for a pick. 
There was also an O-lineman down field. That's okay only if the pass is 
caught behind the LOS, and the receiver was right on the LOS when he 
caught the ball. I'm not sure it should've been called, but it was close.

In all honesty, I don't think a review would have overturned the fumble. 
You couldn't see exactly when Abdullah's knee hit the ground.
