Asking for the call to be changed based on the collective viewpoints of all the teams seems appropriate. However, if the teams approached the ref with a request for a replay, they were doing the wrong thing.

Yes, but going to a team and saying "that call was wrong, we should play again" is a lot more likely to get a favorable reaction than if you were to say "that call was wrong, you guys should have lost".
