justnzane Posted September 8, 2013 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?
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 8, 2013 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.

KD in CA Posted September 8, 2013 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.
Optometric Insight Posted September 8, 2013 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.
John from Riverside Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 the problem is I have seen our qbs take worse hits with not call out of bounds
justnzane Posted September 8, 2013 Author Posted September 8, 2013 From NFL Rule book: Section 21 Out of Bounds and Inbounds Spot Player or Official out of bounds Article 1 A Player or an Official is Out of Bounds when he touches: a A boundary line: or b Anything oter than a player, an official, or a pylon on or outside a boundary line. Stripes screwed the call up
justnzane Posted September 8, 2013 Author 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.
Optometric Insight Posted September 8, 2013 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.
