OT: NFL Playoffs Thread

[Mr Cartmenez]

It's what happens when you bring in replay. Everything gets scrutinized to the Nth degree. And every angle you see, shows at least something you can question. It's insane. The game moved so much faster and smoother when you didn't have everything reviewed.

No, it's not the fault of the replay-system. It happens when the rules are too fussy. The NFL is the worst sport when it comes to the intricacy of the rulebook.
You could see that Dez got control of the ball and only struggled because he was trying to stretch for the endzone

I agree with what you're saying, but before replay, there would have been no way to overturn that call. It was called a TD on the field, and it would have stood. Only through replay do they get to go back, look at things in slo-mo, and decide if they want to change it. It's like that Calvin Johnson reversal a few years ago, which resulted in the changing of the rules about going to the ground and maintaining control of the ball in order to be called a reception.

He took three steps..they blew it..

According to the rule, the number of steps don't matter. You go to the ground, you need to maintain control all the way through essentially until you get up. He didn't.

 

[LSCII]

BTW, my view on the Dez play is that he'd have been down by contact before he broke the plane anyways, even if you wanted to call it a reception.

Exactly. The Calvin Johnson rule.

 

[bobbyorr04]

He had possession and made a football move stretching for the goal line. It's the worst call I've ever seen..players do that constantly. I'd break my ****ing tv if I was a Dallas fan.

I'm a Cowboys fan.

I was thinking that too, but for some reason I dismissed it. Also makes sense though and the end result would still have been a complete pass.

Cowboys didn't deserve to be there anyway, so **** it.

Unless you are stretching for the end zone. That part was subjective and called good on the field. You don't reverse that.

Plus his elbow was down way before the stretch.

Horrible.

Yup. If they ruled it a completed pass, it should have been first and goal on the one. No way it was a TD either way. For the record, I think he dropped the ball. Not a completion at all. He went to the ground and didn't maintain possession.

Already starting with the best QB talk?

It's true that the ground can't cause a fumble, but I don't see where he was stretching for the end zone. I see he was stretching for the catch, and rolled over as part of this. Since he didn't hold onto the ball through that motion, I think it was rightly called an incomplete pass.

It makes it sweeter that it went against the Cowboys too....

LMAO roughing the passer on Peyton yet a knee to Brady's head isn't called yesterday and how many times was Brady hit late yesterday?

 

[Bi Coastal Bawse*]

If Brady and Manning farted in the same room people would debate which smelled best.

 

[RaskIsABrickWall]

Nantz so happy with that catch

vunovich is horrible

 

[EverettMike]

Did Clay Matthews get a penalty for his late, low hit on Romo today?

 

[RaskIsABrickWall]

Only manning passes or tries too 3 times in a row from 1

 

[Bi Coastal Bawse*]

LOL Officials helped Broncos so much on that drive, NFL does a great job hiding their Manning bias.

 

[dabid]

Broncos win 400-7

[Bi Coastal Bawse*]
