bleedinblue Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 How can a guy whose momentum is obviously carrying him OB and who is not hit until he is well OB (by players who themselves are already OB) be "forced out"?! Additionally, it appeared to me that he never got both feet in bounds and this is not college. Though not getting it in for 7 from the 3 after an INT is more of a reason for the loss, this kind of officiating is frustrating.

I thought he was no where close to being forced out, no one really touched him.

The problem is, there was no way they were going to reverse that call unless it was clealry obvious he was going out on his own. He was hit as he was coming down, and as far as the replay was concerned, they were going to use that uphold the ruling on the field.
jester43 Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 you're right, we got !@#$ed on that one....but what else is new, right? i initially thought it was a td because he got both feet down, but when i realize he didn't i couldn't believe he was awarded the td for being "pushed out."
Rico Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 It was obvious he wasn't forced out, but both feet were in-bounds anyways, It was a TD.
jester43 Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 that's what i thought at first, but then the replay looked to me like the right heel never made it to the ground. and then ref justified the call by saying he was PUSHED OUT...i really don't think both feet made it down. ...but, whatever

2003Contenders Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Also credit Del Rio for working over the officiating crew in the first half on a similar play, when the receiver CLEARLY came down out of bounds. You knew he was going to get the benefit of the doubt on a close call. Hopefully, MM was taking notes.
