Azazello1313 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 JMO as an impartial observer...the 'boys got screwed. Unless the ref had some magic-voodoo camera angle, there is no way he can definitively overturn that spot on the Witten catch. Ah well...maybe the Seachicken fans will stop yappin' over the SB last year dude, there is a camera RIGHT THERE on the sideline that shows DEFINITIVELY that the ball never got close to the one yard line. that is as clear an angle on a spot overrule as there will ever be. it'll be on youtube by tomorrow morning and we can all look at it a thousand more times and see that the refs got it right on the money.

Last Plane Out Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 My question is: the Seahawks snapped the next play after the botched attempt from the 1 yard line. Which means, based on that spot, Romo picked up the first down when he tried to run it in. Hmmm..... you're an observant dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) I have never handled myself like bitch on these boards and I wont start now ..some big ticky tack calls went against but there is no excuse for botching a 19 yd fg attempt..Season over end of story Edited January 7, 2007 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunther Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Next time you watch the replay of the botched field goal, watch Gramatica after Romo fumbles it - if he gets even a little bit better hit on Babineaux, Romo gets into the end zone, or at least to the first down. Crazy play. Yep, just rewound it and watched it again and you are right. Oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montster Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 That's an interesting point. How come they didn't even measure it? wasn't it a seattle fumble recovery? although if so, i thought maybe the fumble was reviewable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means, based on that spot, Romo picked up the first down when he tried to run it in. Hmmm..... Wildcat said that they got that one right, and he didn't get the 1st down. Just to clear up any other questions, Wildcat said that every questionable call that went for the Seahawks was correct, and every call that went against them was BS. That should settle everything.

Grits and Shins Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 dude, there is a camera RIGHT THERE on the sideline that shows DEFINITIVELY that the ball never got close to the one yard line. that is as clear an angle on a spot overrule as there will ever be. it'll be on youtube by tomorrow morning and we can all look at it a thousand more times and see that the refs got it right on the money. My initial reaction when I saw Romo run the ball was that he got the first down. But looking at the replay it was clear that he was well short of the 1st down ... hell he was even short of the line of scrimmage. Where SEA actually snapped the ball from on the next play is irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means, based on that spot, Romo picked up the first down when he tried to run it in. Hmmm..... I didn't record the game, but I clearly remember Al Michaels saying that Seattle was snapping from the two yard line. The replays also of Romo getting tackled by the feet also clearly show that he wasn't even close to making it to the one yard line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good game with an unbelievable ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means, based on that spot, Romo picked up the first down when he tried to run it in. Hmmm..... I was thinking the same thing when I saw the ball spotted at the one, but Romo fumbled it before he hit the first down marker (he didn't get the ball beyond the two yard line, so a yard short) and they ruled that SEA recovered at the one.

Ursa Majoris Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 The Bears were going to make short work of Dallas too. That's what I meant. Neither of these two were fearsome. To be fair, nor are the Bears but they really should be able to put paid to Seattle (unless the Giants pull it off against Philly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tega Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Witten did not get the 1st down. I'm glad they got it right with the review. I thought for sure Romo was going to get at least a 1st down, but that great tackle stopped him short of it. Crazy plays. Too many impossible plays. I think Seattle was destined win.

Grits and Shins Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Bottom line ... Romo has to get the ball down for the kick. That is a routine play and he should be able to do it in his sleep. Romo makes that play then Seattle has to receive the kickoff and drive down the field for a FG try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Neutron Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 A big difference in this game was that SEA tackled better - not what I expected from them after the last few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do think Sea has a marginally better chance in CHI next week than Dallas would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
