Singletary's touchdown shouldn't have counted

[Coach55]

The ref's let us get away with one.   On the prior play, there was a defensive pass interference non-call against John Brown.  McDermott threw the challenge flag to get it reviewed.   If you watch the highlights of the play, at the 37 second mark you see McDermott picking up the flag about a second into the play.  The ref should have blown the play dead before the play ever went off.  They discussed it afterward, but let it stand.

The refs said that he threw the challenge flag after the ball was snapped. 
 

I was at the game today and didn’t think that was true, but that’s what the ref said at the game.

From my seats I saw him throw the flag prior to the snap (it was pretty close, and he picked it back up quickly). Very, very fortunate the refs didn't notice and blow the play dead

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I was wondering what happened there. I saw McDermott pick up the flag after Singletary ran by. It almost looked like he accidentally dropped it.

 

oh well. If that play ended up being an incomplete pass, then it would have cut against the Bills. Just one of those things.

McDermott should let Leslie handle the challenges and he can take over as DC..... guy is a disaster in challenges.

Makes me wonder.. 

 

Has McD ever won a challenge? Seems like he loses every time.

Yeah that’s what I thought too. I was so certain it wasn’t going to count that I just looked down in disappointment the moment I realized Singletary was going to score because I knew it wouldn’t count.

Hard to tell, he claps either way.

[wagon127]

Why would he challenge pass interference? They arent over turning these calls, McDermott is clueless if he is actually still trying this.

90% of pi challenges are not overturned. Call it the good ole boys ref club telling the league f- you. Thank goodness they ignored his challenge. And yes his challenge track record is awful.

McD was 1 of 12 in challenges entering this game with 11 straight upheld.

I saw tons of holding not being called. Adding insult to injury.

[Not at the table Karlos]

Did the eagles punt returner lose control of the ball before he hit the ground? They didn’t show many replay angles and the ones we saw looked like he was down. 

[Freddie's Dead]

As I've said elsewhere, McD was a *****in' disaster during the Eagles game.  We got bailed out by the refs, because no way would they have overturned that non-PI call. 

[Bferra13]

The only coach in the NFL worse at challenges is that Larry the Cable guy clown in Cleveland. Not good company there.

Yeah this was the other one. They showed two angles at the game and both looked like the ball might have started to come loose on the way down but definitely didn't come out until after he was down. My cousin was watching at home and said it couldn't have been a more obvious fumble based on what they showed at home.
