Was a fair catch called?

muff muff muff

It sure as hell beats the other way around. :willy_nilly:

[dimbee]

but if a fair catch is called there should be no blocking at all as the ball could not be advanced.

Wrong.

A fair catch only ensures that the punt returner may catch the ball with no physical contact. It does not mean that the rest of the players no longer play until the whistle. Otherwise, if the returner fumbles/muffs the punt, what is to happen?

Seriously, Zod. Read your football for dumbies book or something.

Zod's football acumen: "Oh, he's waving his hand for a fair catch, anyone want some tea?"

[Dilla]

Anyone watching the Colts/Titans game? Pretty much the same thing just happened with the same call.

Karma

That sh*t is going to come back and bite us

Maybe this was Karma for us getting crap calls

[God]

Yup, it was a good call.

[Scrumtrilescent]

Dang, Zod's gotten so jaded that he's officially rooting against the Panthers

Has he ever rooted for them?

[Jase]

Had we been playing the Cowboys on this play, the penalty would have been called and steve smith would have been ejected for the hell of it.

[Scrumtrilescent]

It was a good call in line with the rule book, the only thing this crew did right all game. They forgot to turn the mike off, they conferred in the middle of the players' huddles like they'd never done it before, and I've never seen a crew literally run around the field aimlessly like a retarded clown convention. The ref looked like he ran away from an Alzheimer's home.

in the end...it was a bad call by the refs...there was a fair catch called and the refs didnt notice that we pushed a redskin man into the punt returner...we got very lucky.

[Squirrel]

Dont forget screwing up the 5 yard penalty.

[God]

It was a good call, the same thing just happend on SNF. Good call refs.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

The situation for the colts was a little different, but on the whole it seemed similar enough. According to that call, there is no interference on a fair catch if it comes from any member of the recieving team in any way.

So there you go.

The play was reviewed. They knew damn well he got shoved into the returner.
