bushwacked Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Don't know if anyone is actually watching the game, but I had no idea the tuck rule still results in an incomplete pass when the QB throws the ball backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Rodgers Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Don't know if anyone is actually watching the game, but I had no idea the tuck rule still results in an incomplete pass when the QB throws the ball backwards. Yeah that should have been a touchdown for the Seahawks as Dalton fumbled that into the ref on the 1 yard line... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Bad refereeing continues to follow Seattle weather at home or on the road. The call was within the rules but there were other calls within the game that were awful plus the referee blocking the ball from going into the end zone defiantly didn't help. The Bengles were the better team today not going to argue that. Just don't like it when referee's decided the game and not the players. Such as Leon Washington TD last week that got called back for a phantom blocking in the back call. One positive note Jackson is clearly the better QB never thought I'd be saying that esp so soon.

Seahawks21 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I couldn't tell from the replays if the receiver was behind the QB or not. If he was behind the QB, it should have been a fumble. If he was in front of the QB, it was the correct call. Still, this is NOTHING compared to what went down at the UW game down the street last night. There was darn near a public lynching of a zebra.

WaterMan Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 How about the head ref in the Eagles game not once, but twice calling Jackson's dropped pass a backwards pass by Vick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irish Doggy Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 some analysis on this play As a Bengals homer, I think they dodged a bullet. That should be a fumble every day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 plus the referee blocking the ball from going into the end zone defiantly didn't help. I don't think that guy knew whether to taco or go blind when that ball was coming at him. blocking the ball defiantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 He did overrule himself in replay. Mind you, it still sucks when you have to burn your replay chances to get something as obvious as that overturned. Speaking of which, why the hell don't you keep getting replay chances if you keep getting them right? You get a bonus 3rd one if you get the first two right, but why set a limit? If you keep challenging and keep proving the refs wrong, why should you be penalized by losing your chances? You're still going to be careful about when you challenge, because if you're wrong, you burn a time out and lose a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 exactly It makes even less sense in tennis where it takes. literally, seconds for the review. Same story though, you only get so many, right or wrong, per set. I'm sure the purists think that unlimited challenges would slow the game down, but would they? Assuming that you're only allowed so many incorrect ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I love the tuck rule. Why not just pump fake continuously in the pocket until you are ready to throw? It significantly reduces the chance of a fumble. Still, the idea that a backwards pass is ruled as an incompletion is . I mean, the ball never traveled forward. It stands to reason that it cannot be considered a forward pass. The NFL needs to fix that rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 He did overrule himself in replay. Cannot see how they got the call wrong in the first place. The ref should have apologized. As detlef pointed out, it sucks to have to use a challenge to correct such bad calls. Yet Gruden is talking during SD-KC game saying he doesn't like replay, because it ruins the flow. (I bet he'd have burst a couple blood vessels if the ref made that call against his team.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Every game he coached. Yeah, for somebody who always thought the refs are wrong (and still does in the booth) how can he argue against having some form of challlenge system to allow coaches to get these terrible calls reversed. It just seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
