or is that only when at the game?
Yes I believe the Refs get all the officials which totally applies to the Boyd fumble and to me proves the Refs botched that call.
When Marvin said "The coaches don’t get all the views that the media and broadcasters get. That’s a fallacy of television" it was in reference to the CJ TD out of bounds call when the Bengals chose not to throw the challenge flag. In that situation the coach (or whomever staff member is looking to recommend a challenge flag be thrown) only has whatever angles/views are available in the 20-30 seconds before the next play begins. I do think its feasible that they don't have access to all angles are available in that short time frame. I often watch a game and see a new angle of previous play come out minutes later, even quarters later depending.
