DC Bills Fan Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Unfortunately, when you watch the video, the ball is still moving at this point. His foot had just dragged the carpet and kicked up the old tires ... but when he actually had control, his foot then came down again out of bounds and it kicked up more tire. The best replay that was shown was the split screen that showed it from both sides. The official was on this side and was shielded from the ball movement, so he made the call based on what he saw. I think this was the right call, but the 4th down replay was not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookieG Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 That wasn't a catch, Beatrice. The line in the turf you saw was swamp gas from a weather balloon, trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Still frame seems obvious but what’s the jerky movement his foot makes when it hits out of bounds? I’m guessing that’s what made the call (agree or disagree - I’m just speculating on the process) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Does football really have to be this precise? So precise that we have to take 3 minutes and go frame by frame to find SOMETHING to over turn it? You could literally do this on every play in regards to spots. Instant rep!at was initially to overturn the obvious missed call. It's totally out of hand now. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This a was a good/bad screwing by Riveron , who is having a fantastic year so far....... should not have been overturned. watched the replay too many times. The foot was dragging when had control and crossed the line. even Romo agreed. carefully. momentum changer for sure. But that is Buffalo Football. seem it is a bit worse this year in general league wide though. whatcha gonna do ? just the way it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same Romo who didn't know the rule in Pittsburgh, the same Romo who didn't know the rule on the 4rth down extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadonkadonk Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 The point is no one knows. It was called a TD. Throw-back miracle looks like a forward pass but you cant tell for sure and it was upheld. No one can say there is clear proof it was not a TD to overrule the call. If it was called an incomplete catch no one on this board could argue there is definitive proof he had possession when still dragging his foot. That is not what happened though. It was called a TD and there was not enough evidence to overturn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the focus Nope, I don't work for the NFL so I can't tell you what angle they saw different on whether it was a catch or not, all I can say is that the Romo has been worshipped by many on here yet he makes lots of mistakes during the game. Let's not forget he works beside Jim Nantz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Fan in LA Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 There are really 2 issues here, 1. Did he make the catch while in bounds ? 2. Should the call on the field have been overturned? After the game , there was this: Benjamin, for his part, seemed willing to put the whole thing behind him. "I know the rule when you go to the ground with the ball you got to really have it secured," Benjamin told NFL Network's Kimberly Jones. "That's why I was kinda trying to pull it in on the impact on the ground, but it wasn't a catch I guess ... overturned it. Like I said you can't do nothing about it." Seems like he is admitting it wasn't a clean catch, but the call by the refs was it was a TouchDown, and I don't think it should have been overturned. Football is entertainment for the masses, to keep them from questioning what's going on with the Government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Beth Mowins was a chore to listen to. but Nantz seems to drift off. age I suppose 22 minutes ago, Jigsaw2112 said: If that play is Brady to any Pats receiver its a TD all day.... depends on the spread 20 minutes ago, B Fan in LA said: There are really 2 issues here, 1.

Another Fan Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 It was ruled a TD on the field. The rule is you have to have clear evidence the call is incorrect to reverse it. It's obvious after a couple seconds his foot was down or you can't really tell for 100% certain. The reason the call took so long was for the powers that be to make up some sort of alibi when they called the play in the Patriots favor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
