Did anyone else think we were actually dumb enough to spike the ball on 4th down?

[t96]

I thought it was 4th due to the broadcast when we spiked it and frankly after the way that game was going I was sure we lost the game by spiking it on 4th down... I temporarily lost my poo and started throwing things before realizing they called it a 1st...

 

Oh and also, DJ Moore is clutch. Huge catch on that drive.

We were lucky that was called a first. It's bad a team has to rush and down it without knowing if it was a first or not. Refs need to blow the whistle and measure if they aren't sure. Looked like the refs were still gathering after the spike talking about it.

DJ was nasty today.

CMC went down on the line so I was positive it was a first. I was pissed when the graphic said 4th and 1 since the ball was spotted a half a length over the yellow line. I know that line isn’t official but they aren’t usually that far off. I didn’t think we needed a measurement but was surprised they didn’t call for one.

I'm just glad the end result was a W. This was a trap game and a wishy washy showing after a bye (as usual). All that matters:

The refs were on our side for once

[GRWatcher]

I was there and it was confusing. Board showed 4th and 1 and didn't change until after Cam spiked it.

Yeah, the pace of the game was too fast for "Booger" and his shoddy crew to keep up.  I guess rather than stop the clock to asses the spot, and piss the Giants off for giving us a free time out, they let the game play on.  I heard the TV announcer say first down so an official must have signaled it right away, giving Cam the green light to spike it.  If they indicated first down and we spiked the next play to stop the clock, I don't think the replay official could have buzzed down by then.

All that being said, I still lost my freaking mind when they called a running play with no time outs in that part of the field.  I get that CMC could have broken one and the Giants would have never seen a run play coming, but time being what it was, I lost my poo.

You know Rivera's dumb ass probably like "just like I drew it up". 

[CatTower]

Well, we did just run on 3rd and 1 with no timeouts and 30 seconds on the clock so I wouldn't put it past us.

I heard the announcers say 1st down but then they had the graphic still there and I got scared as poo before calming down and thinking no one could be that stupid then freaked out again when I realized we could be that stupid and it would definitely be the Panthers to do some poo like that.

[stratopanther]

If they review the spot on that then theres a 10 second run off.

It might have won the C'mon Man of the year award.

Lol yup...  figured we didn't know what down it was and i had already reserved myself to it being a loss considering score, down, distance, and time left, so I was unmoved lol.

[LA_Panther]

Couldn’t hear the audio at the bar. All I saw was 4th and 1 on TV and Cam spiking the ball ... needless to say I was pissed
