smokinandjokin Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Where the F did that come from??? Has to be one of the worst red flag decisions I've seen....The 12th man seemed to be off the field in PLENTY of time before the ball was snapped, but regardless, there wasn't a camera angle that even showed if he was on the field or not! Strange move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I think there was somone running off the field, but none of the camera angles caught the edge of the sideline. The Colts obviously saw it - but there was no video evidence of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 It was close and the last Bears player got off a split second before they snapped the ball. And if you noticed, later in the game the Bears burned a TO when a similar situation arose. In the grand scheme of things, it meant nothing.

Strange move. I've seen worse. One comes to mind. The red flag followed a team called timeout. Said team lost the challenge and a second timeout. Or was it the other way around? Anyway, if that's all you can fault the guy for...don't fault him. He's going to Disney World. Wonder how often thoughts of his son have entered his mind in the past 10 hours.

I saw that....But just based on when he starting running off, and then when the ball was snapped, it seemed like he would've been off the field in PLENTY of time, unless he just broke into a slow walk. He very well might have, and Dungy might have seen it from the sideline, but still was a strange challenge. I can't quite remember, but wouldn't it have made a 3rd & 9 a 3rd & 4 if the challenge was successful? And they were already in FG range? Seemed like a risk of a timeout in what was a close game...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 There were 2 guys trying to get off the field at the same time. The 2nd one just barely made it off. And it would have been 3rd and 4 and given them another shot at the endzone instead of being 4th down (and 2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to believe there was not a camera angle that definitively showed that; I'm sure CBS probably had 30 cameras througout the stadium and on the sidelines...

Strange move. What was so bad about that challenge was that there is no ambiguity. The colts' guys upstairs could have stopped the tape; counted the guys; and known with 100% certainty that there were 12 guys on the field. To challenge such a play and miss it is inexcusable.

I think the flag was thrown because the Colts saw 12 guys on the field...Unfortunately the NFL cameras did not get the 12th guy...Without any evidence, the Refs were not going to rule for the challenge.

No evidence in the Super Bowl? They have camera's and video from every angle! Even the blimp is flying over head. I think the officials missed that call. A player needs to get to the 40 yard line or something close to that and well out of bounds, obviously the Colts noticed he wasn't and threw the flag.

I think they did have a shot of the guy going out...They just did not have one to prove that his foot was outside the sideline when the play was made.....

Golden Wheels Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 According to ESPN this morning, it was Peyton Manning who asked Dungy to make that challenge. Manning didn't think the Bears got the extra player off the field in time before he took the snap. That was on Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
