YoloinOhio Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 @Titans: We ALL remember the Music City Miracle. But there's one detail you've probably forgotten: http://t.co/fDT7x7EIiQhttp://t.co/hIz1UdJNoM Yeah, I remember the one detail.
HamSandwhich Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 What a bunch of maroons. It was a forward pass!!! A FORWARD PASS!!! :censored:
YoloinOhio Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 Hopefully they just opened a giant can of karma on themselves for Sunday.
Cynical Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Since we are going to relive the past, somebody needs to remind them of the greatest comeback in NFL playoff history. They remember, right?
NoSaint Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) their beat writer did a throwaway article about it with the matchup coming up.... thats trolling? theres not even a hint of ill will in the article. thicken that skin up yolo! Edited October 9, 2015 by NoSaint
LeGOATski Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Since we are going to relive the past, somebody needs to remind them of the greatest comeback in NFL playoff history. They remember, right? Jim Kelly wouldn't change a thing. That was Frank Reich's day. Best image I can find of it.
NoSaint Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Jim Kelly wouldn't change a thing. That was Frank Reich's day. if Chris Brown did an article on the backup qb leading that day instead of the hall of famer, and it was all about their relationship and such.... i wouldnt think it to be trolling the other side. Just reliving a fun memory. if it was calling out the other teams ineptitude, sure.
Dorkington Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Jim Kelly wouldn't change a thing. That was Frank Reich's day. Best image I can find of it. Unfortunately that shows a pretty clear image of the ball traveling backwards, even if the players are positioned in a way that makes it look forward.
NickelCity Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Unfortunately that shows a pretty clear image of the ball traveling backwards, even if the players are positioned in a way that makes it look forward. The flight arc of the ball makes it appear like that's the case, but that ball was traveling forward i tell you
NoSaint Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Unfortunately that shows a pretty clear image of the ball traveling backwards, even if the players are positioned in a way that makes it look forward. ive settled on having talked myself into and out of it several times that I cant fault a Ref even if he had it wrong in real time. its close enough that you simply live with the call and wish the lane was covered properly
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Okay, I give up. Who is their Man Crush Monday and why is it trolling?

peterpan Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 The flight arc of the ball makes it appear like that's the case, but that ball was traveling forward i tell you Ding ding ding- that is correct!!! In the first photo the ball isn't forward of it's location in the second, it is simply at the top of it's arch. The camera angle makes it appear like it moved backwards, but it didn't. If you find a screen shot of the ball as it leaves the passers hand, and right when it's caught, you can easily see it's a forward pass. The flight path of the ball is completely irrelevant. But as stated, you can't really fault the refs it was so close. Unlike the Ginats game Sunday!!!!
LeGOATski Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 lol, sorry. Had to post it. Next Gen Stats, anyone?
Talley56 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately that shows a pretty clear image of the ball traveling backwards, even if the players are positioned in a way that makes it look forward. Yeah, not that it matters because the call can never be changed anyway, but as much as some of our fellow Bills brethren want to pretend it wasn't, by the letter of the law, it was a legal backwards lateral.

H2o Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Jim Kelly wouldn't change a thing. That was Frank Reich's day. Best image I can find of it. I hope we run this play on the opening kickoff and score. REX, REVERSE THE CURSE!!!!!
AdamK Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Jim Kelly wouldn't change a thing. That was Frank Reich's day. Best image I can find of it. Only problem is that picture compares apples and oranges. The ball is thrown and caught at different heights, so you can't really compare them.
metzelaars_lives Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 I never thought it was definitely backwards. I have always thought it was as close to perfectly straight as humanly possible. One thing is for certain: it wasn't definitely forward. It was pretty much the classic case of inconclusive. It would have been insane and the wrong call for the refs to overturn it. That's it.
AdamK Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I've officially spent WAY too much time on this, but bear with me. It's a matter of perspective. You would have to move the ball (thrown location) down to the same height as the caught location and compare the distance to the line. (Ignore the actual dimensions. They are measured in the program and the images are not scaled correct, but it still show how close and possibly forward the pass was.) The video (On NFL.com) appears to show the ball moving back towards the line. It actually just moves further down than forward. Obviously I can't post pictures. Edited October 9, 2015 by AdamK
Gugny Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Jim Kelly wouldn't change a thing. That was Frank Reich's day. Best image I can find of it. That is the best proof I think I've ever seen that this was a legal pass.
