Why anybody would want to be a referee/umpire in a high level major sport is beyond me.

Could've sworn that was a pick play on the replay.

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:39 pm

Yeah that's unfortunate.

Scored right away and now they'll lose.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:40 pm

That was totally a let them score so Tom has more time.

I don't like that amount of time with a timeout. Tyreek Hill can put them in range quick.

Typical Belichick defensive collapse late.

Can we all at least agree that Romo is really good?

Oh, hell yeah. And he gets excited like a regular person.

Amazing that Butker stared down that Native American elder in DC yesterday and still shows up to make that kick.

I can think of 4 times that Brady has thrown a game-losing INT in the playoffs and the Patriots are somehow 2-2 in those games. And that’s not even counting the catch by Edelman in the Atlanta Superbowl that was thrown directly to a Falcons defender’s hands.

Suppose it’s fitting that Brady/Belichick’s last Super Bowl is against the Rams.

That one was correct, IMO. I don't see how the punt muff was overturned, though. That was anything but conclusive. Replay was not meant to be overturning so many close calls.

Bob Sutton's job status wouldn't be mentioned at all if Dee Ford didn't line up offsides.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Mon Jan 21, 2019 10:52 am

Speaking of the Ford offside call, aren't there 100 coaches watching the line?

Is it someone's responsibility to notice that and call timeout?
Or does it happen too fast? Or was that too close to call?

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Mon Jan 21, 2019 10:58 am

Dirty secret is that the Pats o-lineman lined up illegally too far back, which likely drew Ford forward when he set his stance. Ford was called because he was indeed lined up offsides. The Pats being illegal was not. Such is life.

Imagine your season ending on that Stefon Diggs catch and then a year later the refs from NFL Blitz show up for one play to end your season.

Is that worse than the recent season ending situations for the Seahawks? With the Seahawks throwing the ball on the goal line, in the SB, with Lynch in the backfield. And then losing their season this year without a kicker and your punter kicks an on-sides in-field fly 25 yards directly at a player on the other team.

Brontoburglar · Post by **Brontoburglar** » Mon Jan 21, 2019 11:35 am

Michael Dickson regularly does onside kicks for the Seahawks.

not a great angle, but it looks close enough that officials aren't going to call illegal formation. his helmet is probably lined up very close to the center's butt

Who do you think will win the two games?
