GG Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I haven't looked at all replays, but my initial thought was that Losman was able to cross the goal line when he got tackled. His knee hit inside the end zone, but I was positive that the ball was over the line. I thought I saw a replay that validated it. Anyone else see it that way?

smokinandjokin Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I don't think he got out. Even the very front of the goalline closest to the 1-yard line is part of the end zone. He only made it back to the goalline at best.
VABills Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 It's not really a whine about the call, but more to know if my beer stained eyes were right. 769456[/snapback] No they (your eyes) were wrong. I rewatched that several times, hoping to see if we should contest the call. No he clearly was in the endzone with the ball.
dave mcbride Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 It's not really a whine about the call, but more to know if my beer stained eyes were right. 769456[/snapback] it looked like a safety to me.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I think it was a safety, too. When it happened live I thought he was out of the endzone. When they showed the replay I thought they made the right call. What I dont think was the right call was Fairchild's. The receiver routes took way too long to develop. And calling a 7 step drop from the 8 yard line on 3rd and 11 was just too risky. JP needs to get rid of the ball though. I am not sure I accept his explanation that he thought he could elude one guy (which he did) and then get it off (as soon as he eluded the first there was a second). You had to figure they would blitz on 3rd and 11 at the 8 and pressure him.

Absolutely no protection due to your OL getting it's ass kicked on a play is another. Although I see your point KTD, I am going to take the kid's back wrt this play.

Mike formerly from Florida Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 It's not really a whine about the call, but more to know if my beer stained eyes were right. 769456[/snapback] Losman could have been tackled on the two and they still would have called it a safety.
Simon Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 What I dont think was the right call was Fairchild's. The receiver routes took way too long to develop. And calling a 7 step drop from the 8 yard line on 3rd and 11 was just too risky. I thought the biggest problem on that play was that even though they were in a two-back set, they released both guys out of the backfield and didn't keep either one of the backs in to protect.
eSJayDee Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 You forgot to take into consideration that in Foxborro, the endzone extends all the way out to the 1 yd line for the Pats. (They also only have to get only "over 9 yards" for a 1st down.) "Just give it to 'em"
ch19079 Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 i thaught so at first, but the replay clearly showed the entire ball was inside the endzone when he hit the ground. the only thing i can say about it was that he could have ran forward and gotten tackled at the 1, bu instead ran sideways and took the safety. but the penalty on teh kick return set the whole thing up.
ricojes Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I thought the biggest problem on that play was that even though they were in a two-back set, they released both guys out of the backfield and didn't keep either one of the backs in to protect. 769559[/snapback] plus it seemed like the wr's ran some long routes, although it did look like WM was open in the middle of the field for a dump off. Unfortunately our line imploded so fast, JP didn't see him.
