Rubes Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Rob Ryan of the Browns thinks that the Bengals' Shayne Graham missed that 31-yard FG try in OT that beat them. For those of you on the chat last week during the Bills game, so did I. I saw him kick the ball, and I immediately thought it was going wide right. And I even typed that in the chat -- missed it. When I turned back to the TV, the Bengals were celebrating, and I did a double-take. On replay, I was amazed to see how it curved back toward the right upright, but I still wasn't totally convinced it was good. But I just figured I didn't get a good look at it. Apparently, Ryan is still not convinced. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fewell733 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 yeah it didn't look good to me either. But then again I wasn't standing under the goal post. I'm surprised it hasn't been a bigger subject of debate this week until now either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 nother lame linky clearest linky I can see what you mean. It does not look good. After watching the last link about three or four times, I think it was good. You can see the ball come in behind the right upright. It's in the books. Stop whining about it already, Rob.

WVUFootball29 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 The camera is kinda at a funny angle...its not directly behind the center of the goalposts so it might be an illusion, but man it really does look like that might have missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Until more technology is added to this game, the refs' call is law. It did miss, and a chip in a ball would solve most discrepancies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Until more technology is added to this game, the refs' call is law. It did miss, and a chip in a ball would solve most discrepancies. Thanks for cutting to the quick Astrobot. With the billions of dollars that the NFL generates, it's a joke that calls such as these are left to human judgement. Line calls in tennis can now be checked by sophisticated methods. Such changes in the NFL are long overdue. The cheapest and easiest advent of this sort of officiating would be on field goals and extra points.

I agree, with the technology available to us now a days, I don't see why more sports don't use it to eliminate judgement calls from sporting events.
