Can someone explain why Browns catch wasn’t a TD?

Yeah that last block in the back they called on the Raiders was super weak.

You mean the one where a Raider knows he's going to run into a Bills player and spins around?  The one that should still be called, despite this move since it provided advantage to the runner.

They said something about him going backwards toward the ground. That makes no sense. That was a TD. He had control of the ball and ball broke the plane. Now perhaps if he lost control on going to the ground maybe he doesnt complete the catch.  But he did habe control to the ground.

Will be interesting to see if NFL gives some explanation. 

 

The quick whistle on Carr is terrible. There is no way in real time the ref had blown that play dead. He decided it after the fact. Carr had barely gotten wrapped up when the ball came out. Terrible call by officials.  

But as always there is no agenda. They don't want the Raiders to win because they are in a new market. They don't have a bias against the Bills. They are just bad calls.

The NFL would never say they were wrong.

Just want the Allen INT erased at this phase. if anything it should be a strip fumble before a pick.

 

Brown, was robbed a TD period, we fortunately converted the next play. How messed up would that be if the last play of the game for a win / loss?

Ha. Good point. I thought for some reason you were criticizing fans for not understanding that call.

Honestly, I wonder if you can challenge a play that happened the prior quarter. It wasn't mentioned, but what about the half? It was technically the last play, but the 3d quarter was already off the clock. Probably in the rule book, but I wonder how itd work for like the end of a half, too.

 

Doesn’t matter - they can challenge (just as McDermott did) at the start of the 4th as long as no plays have been done.  Should of been a TD.  Bizarre ruling on the field and then a total lack of common sense by replay once again this week.

 

At the end of the half (within 2 minutes) there are no challenges - all challenges are initiated by the upstairs ref.  Does not have any impact.

Duh... I spaced that fact.

 

Thanks for the clarification.

It wasn't called a TD live because of the bobble... It was enough for the ref to say...."wait possession wasn't right away, so I'll go with where he lands.'

But after he gained position and had both feed in bounds, the ball still broke the plane of the goal line and I thought that as soon as the ball breaks the plane the play ends?  Is the plane the front edge of the goal line or the back edge?  I always thought it was the front end, that the goal line is actually inside the end zone.

 

As noted above, I think the drunken ref play of the game theory is as good as any...

Brown pretty much summed it up

Honestly I thought there was a judgment call on when possession is established. Two feet and football move.  That was questionable to me.  Which goes to call on field. If it was called a td it would have stayed.  
 

do I think he scored?   Yes I do.  But they are super crazy about not overturning unless it is perfect evidence.  
 

I thought it was a waste of a to.  A second half to which should be treated as gold.   They qb sneaked it in.  Just move on save the to and score the td.  
 

yes. There was some remote chance of something terrible happening by running another play.  But you had to run it anyway. 
 

the going down thing. ....not sure what they were talking about.

He clearly had possession with the ball breaking the plane of the goal line. 

 

Because the NFL won't give McDermott a challenge win.

bc the NFL set such a bad standard on whats a catch and what isn't their own officials don't know anymore. 

[1ManRaid]

Back to back weeks where the broadcast bring in the officiating expert who says the replay is clearly in our favor, but it still goes against us.

 

Beane better have a sternly worded memo to the league tomorrow.

Took so long for the Bills to be able to beat the opposing team and refs. You love to see it!

[scuba guy]

Biggest thing was if you slow it down brown second foot is down and,the ball is over the line worst call was that they spotted the ball outside of the 1 yard line on the next play

[Buffalo Junction]

Let’s be thankful that this team is now good enough that they can win handily despite the refs. 

[1st Ammendment NoMas]

Apparently none of the refs had John Brown on their fantasy team.

[r00tabaga]

Refs are not good at what they do.

 Simple.
