BaaadThingsMan Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Wtf happened there? Gilmore tipped the ball in and Byrd made the recovery!!! Why no challenge there?
Omar Little Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 It definitely looked inbounds, but the play was blown dead. I thought you couldn't challenge in that situation.
BaaadThingsMan Posted October 21, 2012 Author Posted October 21, 2012 The announcers didn't even mention it at all, I'm beside myself The ball was over the sideline but hadn't bounced out yet I didn't think?? Gonna go rewind n look
2003Contenders Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 It bounced out before Gilmore slapped it.
BaaadThingsMan Posted October 21, 2012 Author Posted October 21, 2012 Ok my bad guys!!!! Missed the bounce ugh just another way to lose guess I should be used to it by now. Love the Bills, hate the losing. Have a good one
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 aren't all turnovers automatically renewed? or does that only include calls that are called a turnover on the field?
Fezmid Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 aren't all turnovers automatically renewed? or does that only include calls that are called a turnover on the field? Only if it was called a turnover on the field unfortunately.
BuffalOhio Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Why do I not see anyone talking about that late fumble by the Titans? Gilmore was in bounds when he batted the ball back towards the field and Byrd recovered it. Why was that not a fumble with a little over 2:00 to play? Why didn't they tell the coach to challenge? What am I missing? I am so po'd about it. Should have been Buffalo ball and they could have run the clock out (as long as they didn't try to pass it any more).
Jetman Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 If we would have challenged and lost, we would have lost a time out. Chan gets a bonus for every time out left at the end of a game. Seriously, if I were HC that challenge flag would have been out of my pocket the second the whistle blew.
Offside Number 76 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 The ball very clearly bounced out of bounds before coming in. It would have been a complete waste of a challenge. On the other hand, if you wanted to see more truck and razor commercials, it would have been great for you.
BuffalOhio Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I NEVER saw it bounce out of bounds. If it did, then my bad.

Jetman Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I NEVER saw it bounce out of bounds. If it did, then my bad. I never saw it bounce OOB either. It'll be interesting to hear what's said once the film is reviewed. I hope it was OOB; otherwise it was a monumental goof by Chan.

If it's the play I'm thinking of I agree. I was yelling for a flag. I thought he touched the ball to keep it in the field of play before he went out of bounds In HD it didn't look like it went OOB
PO'14 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 looked like it hit the White Line and then was deflected back the players knew cuz no one told Chan to challenge.
1B4IDie Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 It did. It did not hit the white line. The call wasn't that the ball hit the white line. It was that gilmore hit the ball when he was out ofbounds. Which would make the Ball out of bounds. I agree with the OP Gilmore looked inbounds and that was a clear recovery inbounds. Throw the challenge flag. It is worth the risk for a game ending turnover. That's why you get paid the money to coach. This is an example of when a coaching decision has a direct impact on the outcome of the game. looked like it hit the White Line and then was deflected back the players knew cuz no one told Chan to challenge. Players do not run over to the sideline when they are lined up to play defense and tell the coach to do their job. Tennessee was smart enough to take advantahe of the Bills stupidity and they ran a relatively quick play.
