Most Asterisked Team in Sports History

[Dude]

All TDs are reviewed whether it is close or not.

I know that. It was a figure of speech. Walk in TDs are reviewed as well ... for a nanosecond.

 

[Dude]

Whether the opposing HC would throw the red flag or not is a pretty good way to look at it but it still up for speculation and debate.

Besides it's not 'close TD's' it's ALL TD's. Had the ruling on the field been called incomplete or no TD the play must go to review by another process. Usually the HC has to throw the red flag to get a possible TD not called on the field reviewed. It wouldn't have happen that way in this case because the play was inside of 2 minutes remaining in the half, then as you said, all close calls are reviewed. (Maybe that's what you meant Inside of 2 minutes)

Yes, that is what I meant and do think it is a good way to look at it. In essence, we are talking about overturning a catch ruled on the field that is too close to challenge. For example, imagine the same play, not in the endzone, but somewhere on the sideline. Would a coach have challenged in that scenario with the available views, including the upstairs booth?

They can't or it's a penalty, because it was under two minutes until the half where all close plays are reviewed.



JK Dude, I get what you are saying, it is a good way to look at it.

Are there any NE posters who believe BB throws the red flag provided a scenario where the play was not inside of two minutes, and say not in the end zone but a huge play putting the Bills at 1st and goal at the 1 approaching the 2 minute mark of the half?

Let's say BB's staff had the benefit of a TV timeout or something like that which allowed for his staff to discuss their options at length?

I say, no way because there just wasn't enough evidence to overturn the call on the field, and the fact that it was, is the head scratcher.

Yep, thanks, that’s the scenario I was thinking about. Highly hypothetical, but it gives something to think about. Of course, IF the challenge is made in a situation like you explained,
the Refs still overturn it, right? And the team loses a time out. Unless, of course, it was BB making the challenge. I mean to get back on topic

I'm not willing to go that far, but I can see how some can make that leap.

Yeah, most of your group watches me

We watch you spin in circles. It's just like NASCAR. It's almost mezmorizing (kind of like counting sheep)

black francis and polarvortex: kicking the shit out of Patwiot fans since 2005.

We know this is bs. You're one of those serious hawks fans, so that pretty much limits you to circa 2012.

I understand...

It never gets old does it?

That play never happens if Eli didn't tip it right Dirt?

For the sake of accurate reporting

It was his 2 awful picks that game that required a big 4th quarter comeback

Tackling Marshawn Lynch by the ankles as he drove to the end zone, on the previous play, was no slouch job either. But neither plays were as great as the game winning field goals he kicked superbowls 36, 38 and 39.

Remember when Patwiots fans had a personal identity outside of their perpetual humpfest with Thommie Bwady? Yeah, me neither.

Pretty sure he could have made the "game winning kick" in 39.
