gobller Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 How can they not review, or challenge that play? The defender never played or looked at the ball, all he did was hit Franks as he was catching the ball which forced him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a judgement call by the official on the field. That was definitely a close one. He was definitely pushed out, but, I'm not sure he had a realistic chance to come down in bounds if the push didn't come. Definitely a judgement call.

gobller Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 That sucks because IMO a lot of the calls are judgement calls. Like pass interference, fumbles, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I thought you could challenge it. I don't think so. the only thing that I think can be challenged on those situations is whether the receiver maintained possession of the ball (if it were ruled a catch due to a push-out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackass Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I thought it was fairly clear(although not 100%) he would have come down if not pushed out. But it can not be challenged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbie Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 It was the wrong call on the field. But, alas, it can't be challenged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I'm not sure he had a realistic chance to come down in bounds if the push didn't come. Definitely a judgement call. It looked as likely than Olsen's catch last week. GB seems to run into these situations where the calls that go AGAINST them go FOR other teams in a similar situation. It would be nice to see consistency from the refs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
