Lynch has a right to be pissed.. He wasn't stopped

[redseat]

Thoughts?

What do people think? Was he "stopped" or was he still going? I say he was still going and the play should not have been blown dead!

 

[redseat]

@DJ I'm sure you are not happy about that play

One of the very few downsides for the offense in this new player safety era.

Very true but is that why they were calling him stopped though?

Can't say for sure... But that's what it looked like to me

what player was "at risk" though?

Just guessing, but most likely Lynch. Side judge was right there when the defender had his arms wrapped around Lynch while he was spinning. Not sayin I agree with it. Very preemptive call. Most times they only call that play dead when there's more than 1 defender hanging on the ball carrier.

Been like that all year so far.

Bad call. Rinse, repeat

Should have gotten flagged for his reaction.

Very true and it doesn't appear it will change anytime soon

Sad but true. Just have to pray to the football Gods that it doesn't determine the outcome of a game at the expense of your team.

yeah... I guess it could be said for every sport however... Just seems like it happens more in the NFL

True. I feel the same way. Just maddening when you gotta imagine they have the technology to improve these boneheaded calls. Especially the plays that go under review from the head official. Seems like those calls get blown far too often.

Yeah that’s a terrible call
