Doc Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hopefully that group includes the 2 guys in black shirts who came onto the field in the Houston playoff game to reverse the TD. 10 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampton Josh fan Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Those officials have every right to opt out but should not be welcomed back because officials that have put personal and family health on back burner to enable millions of desperate Americans to have a diversion that is therapeutic and a god send for the mental health.

KD in CA Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I bet replacement refs would have given the Bills that TD in the playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t really find anything for this situation. You def can’t do a forward pass on a kickoff(unless you’re the titans) but in the endzone seems like a grey area. I’ll look some more when I get home or hopefully someone else knows. either way should have been points for us lol Edited August 14, 2020 by Not at the table Karlos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line to me was the returner caught the ball and did not take a knee. Then he tossed it rewards the ref, who moved out of the way of it as he thought it was still a live ball. The later decision and explanation about intent was BS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
