MDH Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I haven't even thought of that route yet. (Bringing in Shane Matthews) What would you think if I said I haven't seen Evil Dead 2 yet?
Cobra Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 His forward momentum was stopped before he reaches out with the ball. There is no way the reverse that call.
Corp000085 Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 no way was that a TD. it was close... very close, but no way do they overturn it, and no way do they call it a TD on the field. that was the correct call.
zow2 Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I love this quote by the Raiders after the game. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Raiders were perplexed Buffalo tried to punch it in against them with the diminutive Henry. "Didn't they have any bigger guys to try that," safety Ray Buchanan said. "It's one thing for the fat man (Bettis) to come in ... but that (running Henry) didn't make much sense against the guys we have up front."
Campy Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 My two cents: The replay did not appear to show conclusively one way or the other. Whatever the ruling on the field, I think it would have stood. Just so happens, the ruling on the field didn't go our way.
Buckeye Eric Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I disagree that is was a TD. I replayed it on TIVO a bunch of times. His progress was stopped and the play stopped before he reached over the line. The linesman were already running down the line when he reached the ball forward, a signal that the whistle was blown.

Whether the whistle's blown too soon or not, the plays dead, and it sounds like they couldn't have awarded that TD even if it was reviewed and there was "conclusive" evidence his forward progress hadn't been stopped and he reached crossed the goalline. Good observation.
eball Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 i've been screaming (well, maybe not so much screaming, but definitely saying in a loud voice) for buffalo to make mcgahee their red zone / goal line back. we're not having this discussion if mcgahee comes into the game as soon as buffalo gets inside the 10. my $.02
MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I would assume that when Mularkey and co. looked at the game film, he would have been able to determine whether a whistle blew or not.
ch19079 Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 i watched the game, and they stoped the replay right as he was passing the ball over the goalline. the announcers didnt even say a thing.
gantrules Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Yeah, because McGahee is a big pounding back..... Give the Ball to Shelton in these situations.

The announcers missed a lot of things that were happening....
RkFast Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 That play was as much of a touchdown as Music City Miracle was a forward pass.
nobody Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 It was no TD. And I liked that comment about the flow of the game didn't warrant switching backs - I thought the plan was to use both of them during games - even put both in at the same time - what happened to those plans?
PromoTheRobot Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 This board bitched and whined over GW's bad replay choices. I watched the game and they did not have a sideline camera angle available, at least they didn't show it after the play. Coauch M did the right thing not wasting a precious timeout in the 2nd half. There was little if any chance that play would have been overturned. PTR

Little chance it gets overturned.
1billsfan Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 http://www.wgr550.com/bills/fullstory.php?id=0511 40924[/snapback] Realizes???? Did I miss something? All he said was he should have at least reviewed it because it was close (he did the right thing and I'm now pissed he's second guessing good coaching decisions). But it wasn't close by replay standards. Henry didn't score. It was obvious on the replay that Henry didn't score. They don't hand out touchdowns when the ball doesn't cross the goalline. Do you believe Henry scored? Because from your post title it seems like you think he did.
