justnzane Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Did anyone else think that the Bucs got hosed on the late hit call as Smith had not had a foot down out of bounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Nah; thought he was clearly out of bounds. Heard Tampa bay had the same game we did today-- horrendous penalties and mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I think it was a correct call under the existing rules. I also think the existing rules are ridiculous. And after Lindell hits what should have been the GW FG for the Bucs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optometric Insight Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 It was uncalled for. I'm as much of a biased Bucs fan as a biased Bills fan, but that was an easy call for the refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 that's the right call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnzane Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 that's the right call. Body is not out of bounds until it touches the white. Contact was initiated before foot hit the ground on the white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optometric Insight Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I remember hearing somewhere on TV that if the player (especially the QB) has intentions of going out and not moving up field, you can't do what David did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
