budlitebrad Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think quadruple coverage on Fitz may do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Jeebus! Break up the freaking Cardinals. I can't remember being so taken by surprise by a team in the play-off. They just limped along and managed a verrrry pedestrian record despite playing in a division that gave them 6 free wins. Now they're off the freaking hook.

cdrudge Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Did Philly's secondary miss the memo about Fitzgerald? Or did they not make the flight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrudge Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) Refs blew that call. Not a chance that ball ever went out. Edited January 18, 2009 by cdrudge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am_the_swammi Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 they are booing, and don't even realize it is irrelevant....ball would have been dead where it hit Abiamiri when it hit him while he was out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonedaddies Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 refs got that call amazingly exactly right....hit Abiamiri while he was stepping out of bounds. LUCKY break for the Eagles!!!

I Like Soup Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 refs got that call amazingly exactly right....hit Abiamiri while he was stepping out of bounds. No way. The second angle shows no deflection whatsoever of the ball's path when the guy went by. No matter, the refs screwed that call up. Not challengable.

I Like Soup Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think the rules will change quickly about what is reviewable and what isn't. There is a growing voice that the NFL should get the calls right. Baseball is starting to use review, basketball already uses it for last second shots, hockey uses it...time for the NFL to get with the program.

bushwacked Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well, yeah, but...they got it right. How in the hell can you say it hit the player from the angles they showed in slow motion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 No way. The second angle shows no deflection whatsoever of the ball's path when the guy went by.

cdrudge Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 they are booing, and don't even realize it is irrelevant....ball would have been dead where it hit Abiamiri when it hit him while he was outIt ended up being irrelevant, but I don't think it touched him after it touched his finger. The bounce was clearly in bounds as you could see green under the ball during the bounce. If it touched is arm or leg after the bounce, it wasn't clear on any of the replays. The one that might have shown it had an obstructed view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter, the refs screwed that call up. Not challengable. they called it dead when it hit the defender out of bounds...by rule not reviewable....if it had been reviewable, the call would have stood, since it was apparent the ball deflected off Abiamiris arm...at worst, it would have been inconclusive, and not overturned.

i_am_the_swammi Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 How in the hell can you say it hit the player from the angles they showed in slow motion? How can you say it didn't? thus, if reviewable, it would have been inconclusive, and stood. But it sure looked like it grazed his arm and deflected back toward the field of play.

Apparently from the posts in this thread, it is only clear to you. I'll repeat, no deflection of the ball's path when the player went by the ball. That indicates to me, no contact. But like you said, not reviewable so no matter. But, the NFL should follow the other leagues that are using replay to get calls correct.

kpholmes Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Two plays in a row to Fitz in the Endzone? The Cardinals aren't trying to get the win, they're delivering a statement. And that statement is "No one can cover Fitzgerald" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
