Cannot challenge!!!! WTF

gameday thread?

Absolute bullshit.

not challenging the fumble is more bullshit?

We couldn't challenge the fumble. Once the play was blown dead because of forward progress what happens after that moment doesn't matter.

the BS part is that they had blown the whistle for forward progress. That was ridiculous.

there was a gut feeling something didn't make sense.. but then I remembered who our coaching staff was...

it wouldn't have mattered who was coaching. he was unable to challenge that it was a fumble because the play was blown dead for forward progress.

The lip service to refs swallowing their whistles...yeah...they forgot.

you missed my point.. I understand what you have repeated from other people's explanations..

until I got a better explanation (from the board) I had to assume our coaching staff was just fuging up.. even though something didn't add up..

ahh okay, I just misread your post =)

i agree at first I was like, what the hell, why isn't he challenging it, but then I remembered the forward progress thing.

The weird thing is I thought they had made it so that you could actually look at that kind of thing because of some game in... San Diego? or something... can't remember details, but someone lost a game due to a technicality and I thought they changed the rules.

The bullshit thing, is that I remember the ref running into the play at the end and pointing to the ground, signaling down by contact, NOT forward progress.

I was furious about this call and it changed the game significantly.

We got royally fuged on this.

[mav1234]

Was it down by contact and not forward progress that is re viewable now but didn't used to be?

can't recall. I know I'm not crazy. Well, I am, but yeah.

The ref pointed to the ground which signifies down by contact, then when we challenged they said they blew the whistle because of forward progress.

Which is fuging ghey.
