90sBills Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago 9 minutes ago, Doc Brown said: If they got assistance from the sky judge on this play on whether this was an illegal formation then the refs broke the rules. I'm not sure if they asked for help from New York or they got a buzz in their ear. If the refs received any assistance from NY the touchdown should've stood even though it was an illegal formation. I know if this was against the Bills and that TD stood I’d be livid. Getting the calls correct should override anything else. 1 Quote

That’s simply not true. If people would spend 10% as much time learning the rules as they do complaining about the officiating, there would be a lot less to discuss, I suppose. The NFL has expanded the types of plays where the AMGC can provide objective input to the on-field crew. For the 2025 season, these include: Penalty enforcement: Verifying the proper application of rules and penalty administration. Spot of the ball: Confirming the correct spot relative to a first down, goal line, or end zone. Complete/incomplete passes: Replay can confirm the result of a reception. Boundary lines: Confirming if a ball or player touches a boundary line. Game clock: Making sure the game and play clocks are managed correctly. Specific fouls: Input is provided on certain objective fouls, including hits to the head or neck, horse-collar tackles, or tripping. Edited 7 hours ago by Billl Quote

What's funny is you did the research and still come back with this reply. Illegal formation is not in there and is not reviewable. The TD should have stood. The Chiefs are also the most penalized team in the league in totality for a number of years now so I'm not some ref conspiracy theorist. Edited 6 hours ago by Doc Brown 1 Quote

It was illegal motion. Quote

It was illegal motion. That's just if the idiots put the ball on the wrong yard line after a penalty. Take the loss man. Their wouldn't be any controversy if illegal motion fell under that blanket. 1 Quote
