Because the rules allow it if there is a clear recovery. The whistle rule was removed years ago. 

 

 

Stupid rule then since fumbles after the whistle don't count so why should lateral passes be any different after the whistle is blown, when, technically, it's also a fumble?

That's a personal foul on Denver? The guy was still going forward and whistle not blown yet. Here come the New England Refs.

He speared him with his helmet.

Honestly that was the right call. It was backwards a half yard.

So?  The rules only say there has to be a clear recovery. It doesn't matter if the whistle blew.

The Broncos quit on the play if it was live he would've jumped on the ball.

The Panthers have benefited from that stupid rule a million times.  The only thing the whistle does it keep the continuing action from counting.  That is why most officials don't blow their whistle on these plays anymore.

Hochuli once cost the Chargers a game in Denver with an "inadvertent" whistle. this rule was put in to prevent incompetent refs like hochuli deciding games. Good call.

[sharkkiller]

It was indeed backwards.

 

And lol at Jay Feely critiquing missed kicks....although I guess he has plenty of experienced with missed kicks.
