You forgot to add "thousands of people who had placed wagers on this game, do not like to see officials take valid points off the scoreboard that most certainly had an effect on the final outcome."

Yeah, but I was the one who said that 🤣 and I obviously have no idea what I’m talking about

People please! The ref stands under the goal post. This is NOT a thing, nor should it be. Geeez

And humans don't make errors!

proof the NFL removed the clip (and replaced it)

 

I did a google search and no one is talking about this.  
 

so who besides TBD is claiming it’s been doctored?

 

 

Ok, so you’ve gone so far as to admit that the NFL removed the clip and replaced it.  They wouldn’t just remove it and replace it for no reason now would they?  Do you think WEO works for gamepass and he’s trolling us here at tbd?  
 

I place bets on every team.  When the refs make awful calls and I lose money because of them, I don’t go to twitter and cry about it. I don’t go to a betting forum and rant.  My blood pressure goes up and I beat my wife and dog.  You certainly wouldn’t be able to find me crying about it on the internet.  That doesn’t mean that I’m not livid about.  If the awful call is in a bills game, I come here, because I come here anyway.  
 

It happened during the bills jets game.  The only people that saw the bills and jets game are bills and jets fans for the most part.  Jets fans aren’t going to cry about it, they have enough to cry about.  Bills fans cry about it because it may have played a part in our rookie kickers delicate psyche. Not sure why you have a problem with it.

If it doesn’t bother you, don’t read it and move on.  The discussion isn’t out of the ordinary.....the nfl did remove the kick and replace it with a different kick....which is out of the ordinary.

The NFL removed the kick from the all 22 and replaced it with a different play.  They didn’t do that by mistake. 

 

Why would the NFL care about this?  They admit a ton of errors including on scoring plays and plays that may cost a team at the end of a game and actually have an impact on the outcome, but a kick that mattered an insignificant amount in the outcome - that is the tipping point - oh god we can’t let the Bills Mafia know 3-4 days later that we made a mistake.

 

You do understand that they cut and piece the All-22 back together every time for all of the games.  This would not be the first time a piece was excluded.

 

Last year I believe when Cover 1 was doing a play review they had to use broadcast film because the play was not on the All-22. 
 

Could it show what you say - a perfect view showing it was good?  Maybe - I won’t know until they show it.

I don’t think you do get the concept... go up thread where this digression began and see where a bills reporter (a blue checkmark, for what that’s worth) tweeted the clip in question.

 

The all-22 shows the 3rd down play, cuts to a successful FG attempt in the 4th quarter, and then cuts back to the 1-10 of the jets where they takeover after our miss. 
 

This was retweeted by Sal and a couple other reputable people as well, if I’m not mistaken. 
 

Edit: here- I’ll do the legwork for you.

 

 

 

@SlimShady'sSpaceForce - the non TBD proof that you couldn’t find on google that’s been here the whole time.

I didn’t see it.

You feel it’s just a mistake?  I know how video editing is done.  Leaving a play out is one thing.  Leaving a play out and replacing it with a different play altogether isn’t done by mistake.

Can’t they just use these at the top of the goal posts?

 

 

My apologies to TSW for not reading through the thread as my "original" post above was likely about the 30th Dr. Evil take in this thread.

You might be right, but it would not be simple.  You would need ball speed, wind speed and trajectory because the ball does not travel a straight path.  It would be easy if this was a round baseball going directly from point a to point b.

 

The difficulty will be do you have every measurement and the effect of the laces and the impact of the wind changing from behind the kicker to at the goal line the wind is blowing directly right.  There are also many exact measurements they would need - the exact distance from the pole to the net, the exact distance up the net, exactly how far outside the post it landed into the net.

 

You can do a quick and rough estimate like Shaw did and he determined it was no good, but the problem I have with Shaw’s math was we are assuming a straight path and the ball because of angular spinning velocity and the laces and shape of the ball was pulling to the right it was not a straight line at any point in the kick and you can’t treat it as such.

 

That is why the video would have to be the proof, until they get some type camera/laser system that can determine it was good.  The video is inconclusive and unless the physicists have enough data points on all of the variables they are making an educated guess.  I would love to see the math though - higher level calculations dealing with multiple variables is fun.

One poster in this thread "triangulated" the position of the ball and was able to determine the kick was good. Ask @GG for his math.

So it’s not done by mistake - then why insert and obvious different kick.  That makes no sense.  If it was a conspiracy- would not the simplest thing to have been leave the play out.  That happens and it would be easy to explain.

 

Doesn’t it make less sense to say that after cutting all of the plays and piecing it back together - let’s take a good kick and insert it in the missed field goal spot - no one will notice?

 

As all of this is done via computer, could someone doing the video editing not have grabbed the wrong file from the FG folder and post it back into wrong slot.  
 

Look I get it, but if the video that was posted by Nick Verona was from the All-22 did you see that kick go through the upright?  Neither view shown by Verona showed what happened with the kick.  This leads me to believe based upon that view - which is the coaching view trying to show how teams line up and attack and block - the All-22 would not have given you a better shot of the missed kick - correct.  The All-22 provided of the made field goal never shows even 2/3rds the way up the Goal posts.

 

So your point is that the NFL knows they screwed up and have purposefully removed the footage - even though the NFL routinely admits errors in most games and the proof is the All-22 that is cut and re-edited together has another kick in its place that also does not show the ball crossing the end line.

 

Got it.  The NFL is out to get us.

This has been a problem for decades. 

 

In 1965 the Colts lost a sudden death playoff for the Western Conference title as a result of a last minutes Packer FG that sailed higher than the uprights and was ruled good. Photos later showed that it was beyonf the upright.  The "FG that wasn't" tied the game at 10 @.  The game went into overtime & the Pack won 13-10.  The Pack went on to beat the Browns to claim the last NFL championship pre-Super Bowl.

 

As a result of the blown call the height of the uprights was extended from 10 feet to 20 feet.  In 1974 the height was again extended to 30 feet and to 35 feet in 2014 at the behest of the coach we love to hate, Bill Belichick.  Can 50 feet be far behind?

 

BTW the goalposts originally were right on the goal line providing an extra blocker on running plays but also an extra defender on pass plays.

Let’s go 50 ft and be done with it.

Ok @GG please show me the math that triangulated the exact position of the ball as it crossed the end line.  I need to see the impact of the ball spin  and the changing wind direction and how that impacted the attempt in the math.  I also need to understand the impact and angle you are using as the ball travelled the majority of the distance on one plain and then the spin and the wind caused the ball speed to slow down and the ball started to rise and shift dramatically to the right.  
 

I need to understand and ensure in the triangulation that was done that this was the a major point in the triangulation.  
 

Could it be done of-course, but you need a ton of data that I don’t believe is available to the average fan.  Height and depth of the netting, angle and wind speed, ball speed - all would be need for an accurate calculation and since we do not have good distance markers once you hit the end zone - not sure you can calculate that easily off from the broadcast angle.  
 

Sorry

Got it.  The NFL is out to get us.

This was all the evidence I needed to show me the error of my way.  The nfl definitely just made an error and left out the only controversial call of the entire game and replaced it with another because the video editor grabbed the wrong file.  
 

thanks for showing me the light.

 

the nfl isn’t out to get us.  They figured it better to not have this play in the all-22 because it’s controversial and they don’t have an answer for it.  
 

I agree to disagree regarding how the play was removed and replaced.  
 

bottom line.  Spend some money, do some research and add FG cameras and/or tracking devices.  It’s not 1980.  Technology can help get calls correct.

Watch the slow motion replay of the kick a few pages pages back.   The applicable timeline is between 6 and 8 seconds.  Based on the trajectory of the ball and where & when it hits the netting, it's virtually impossible for the kick to have been wide.

Totally disagree - watching Nick’s slow motion replays - at 6 seconds it is between the uprights, but still not to the end line.  By 7 seconds it looks like it is right over the uprights and that looks like it is when it is at the end line, but without a reference point - it is impossible to tell.  
 

By the end of 7 seconds before hitting 8 seconds it is outside of the uprights for the most part.  
 

Look to me as I have stated many times - the ball appears to go right over the upright and depending upon the exact fraction of a second you are looking at and assuming it is crossing the end line - it could be 3/4 inside the upright or 3/4 outside the upright.  I do not envy the poor guy trying to make that judgement call.  
 

My belief is if the posts were extended another 5-7 feet - the Kick doinks right off the post - maybe bouncing through, maybe bouncing straight back or out - I don’t know, but I do not think it is conclusive in any way simply because the 2nd and most important data point to the kick being good is when it crosses the end line and we do not have that data point.

Don't be modest; show your work.  Lets see the trajectory of the ball, distance from upright to netting, distance from where the ball struck the netting to right upright, height of the ball when striking the netting, distance from where the ball struck the netting to where the netting is lined up with the right upright, spin rate, coefficient of drag, wind speed, etc.
