26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 NFL admits Browns should've gotten fumble The NFL acknowledged Friday that an errant whistle cost the Cleveland Brownsa fumble recovery in their 45-42 overtime loss to the Oakland Raiders last Sunday. The play, one of several controversial calls in the game, occurred with 6 minutes, 39 seconds remaining in regulation. Raiders quarterback Derek Carrlost control of the ball after Browns pass rushers Myles Garrett and Genard Avery hit him at the Oakland 38-yard line. Garrett recovered and began a return toward the end zone. The Browns were also on the short end of another controversial ruling late in the game: Riveron's decision to reverse a key first-down measurement with 1:38 left in regulation. Riveron did not mention it on Friday's video, but the league had earlier supported the ruling by saying Riveron determined Browns running back Carlos Hyde should have been marked one yard short of the first down. According to the league, Riveron pieced together the ruling by looking at evidence from two different views of the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cba fan Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 The problem clearly is Riveron. How can he miss that and also the Josh Allen fumble that should have been reversed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 This is the advantage of losing by 20+ points. “Little things” like this don’t matter as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...I don't know how they didn't fire Riveron after last season, or at least demote him from his current position. It is somewhat understandable if a ref on the field misses something, but how Riveron can make as many bad calls as he does while having slo-mo video from every angle is beyond me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A puppet. I wish i could argue with you but after last year the fact he still has same position tells me they are ok with his absurd rulings. I read that this year he would only overturn obvious mistakes and yet here we are again. I am watching much more college this year since i do not understand basic concepts in the NFL anymore based on his rulings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A puppet. try and digest this......Al Riveron immediately came out publicly and said the Clay Matthews call was "the right call" despite every commentator, ex-official and even the damn Russian judge said no way......so this clown is objective?...seriously?.......the zebra protector?......hell Al....Sharpton would be better................
