maddog Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I think this has been mentioned elsewhere, but that play was identical to the Ricky Williams touchdown against the Bills last year. Unfortunately, They gave RW the touchdown and not TH. They are both judgment calls as to when the forward momentum was stopped. I agree with most posters that Mularkey did the right thing in not reviewing the play. There is little chance they overturn the call and 2nd half timeouts are too valuable to lose in a close game.
The Poojer Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 agree, sure it was close, but it should not and would not have been overturned(based on what my beer laced eyes could see via replay) His forward momentum was stopped before he reaches out with the ball. There is no way the reverse that call. 40987[/snapback]

Whistle blows....play = DEAD Now did the REFs blow the whistles to early...I think they did...Henry momentum was pretty much stopped, but he was still up and could of(as he did) reach the ball over the plain....
