row_33 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Can we have the people trumpeting the great call against Pittsburgh (as they did 100 times here last week) argue that they are always right by the rules, now that he Bills were screwed by replay officials calling whatever the frig they want for no reason at all and no accountability?

Jackington Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Not only was that a TD catch and complete bs they overturned it, but it was pass interference and they didn't call that! NFL is a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I hope all of you in the "get it right" crowd are happy with what replay has brought you. Just another way to introduce arbitrary rules interpretations to the game, if not outright manipulation. Officiating is worse than ever and replay is the direct cause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 When they announce a replay simply fast forward to the next play, don’t get tied up in it as they call whatever the frig they want to oh it was incomplete? Okay whatever.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimp on da' net Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 NFL, please revamp your Instant Replay Policy !!! Overall, I get it...getting the calls right is the main objective but your current policy is killing the spirit of the game and the fan experience. Here are my thoughts & contentions to your policy: 1- The league is being way too technical in these reviews. Trying to make a decision on a play by watching it in super slow motion is a problem, what's a catch? 2.- When reviewing a play, watch at live speed (not slow motion) and make a decision. If inconclusive after viewing the play on the tablet at live speed, then the play should stand as called on the field. 3- The instant fan interaction suffers when everyone has to lie & wait for these scoring reviews to take place...hold your cheers, wait for it, wait for it...the league is killing the fan experience. So NFL powers to be, please revamp your Instant Replay Policy so I can enjoy the game again... Signed, Loyal Fan :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 2 hours ago, BuffaloWings said: It was EXTREMELY close. Because of that alone, they shouldn’t have overturned it. I really was not extremely close. If gained control with a foot in the air - which is a completely inconclusive decision by the league - he still drug his foot before he went out, you can see the dirt flying. The ref on the field made the correct call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 It was a TD, Steelers was as well they would have given them both to the Pats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaista2k Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 How much of a bull **** call was this? It looked like had control and got both feet in. Absolutely ridiculous that this call was overturned IMO. Something really needs to be done about the awful NFL officiating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Yup. Was a rough call. Lots of rough calls in every NFL game every week. Refs are human.

RaoulDuke79 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 It's inexplicable.....if it was ruled incomplete and they came to that conclusion after the review I could possibly stomach it. But there is no !@#$ing way anyone with eyes can look at that play and say there was indisputable evidence that it wasn't a catch after they called it as such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepthefaith Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Didn't see enough evidence of lack of possession or failure to get feet in on the replays to overturn the call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Overturning that, conclusively saying that he DIDN’T get both feet down was one of the worst calls that I have ever seen. Unforgivable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I could easily sit and watch replays to decide these challenged calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
