question about Dunbars turnover

[Schmoopy1000]

All turnovers are suppose to be reviewed.
Now I was trying to watch on a grainy streaming vid that would freeze up, but it looked like it was close enough to have to be reviewed to see if it was a turnover, but they just let the chiefs go & run a play.
Was it really not that close as it seemed to me?

It was very close . Still not sure. They should have stopped the game and at least reviewed it

It was very close. Go watch it on NFL.com. IMO the ball was moving before his knee touched the ground.

Watching it again I don't think they could have overturned it either way.

I was just surprised it wasn't even looked at.
So I just figured the screen I was watching just made it seem close.
Actually makes me feel better if the call was right. but still surprised no review.

I wasn't able to watch the game when it happened, but looking at the video it damn well should have been reviewed.

yea if challenged it would have been a real MOFO to uphold

coaches cant challenge Turnovers. Has to come from the booth
would be a 15 yd penalty if JG threw his red flag

 

[jarntt]

They look at it in the booth and if they think the Ref should look at it they let him know. I thought it was a fumble, but I too had a very poor look at it. It probably was close enough for an official review, but so was Cruz's TD last week...

I forgot about that rule

 

[fordman84]

I was thinking about the challenge thing. There were a couple of times I was wondering why JG wasn't challenging. Then the more I thought about it, I have watched a lot of games these first two weeks and can't remember a single coaches challenge yet.

I slowed it down and paused it on my dvr and his knee was on the ground before the ball came out. It was very close though and I don't get why it didn't get reviewed upstairs.

I didn't pause it on dvr, but I believe the ball began to move in his hand prior. If this is the case it's a fumble. The possibility of the ball moving is why I don't think the call would be reversed no matter how it was called on the field. It is just too close to call.

but from the sounds of what you guys saying it should have had atleast been reviewed.

Yes it should have been. Without being 100% sure, odds are it was reviewed in the booth and called good. That said, as close as it looked it should have went to the ref on the field.

 

[tw1st3d]

All turnover ARE reviewed you don't challenge.

and yes it was a fumble. Was close but ball was out before his knee touched

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

Looked like a fumble. The cruz play was a crock as the ball came loose as he was making a football move. By rule that is an incomplete pass. The refs always screw the cowboys as the PI calls on Mo and Dez were a joke

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

The PI against Dez was horrible. The one on Mo may have been bad too, but that was a stupid play by him. Its like 3rd and 15. A 7 yard throw and a bad one at that. If he just stands there ther worst it could have been was 4rth and 6 or 7.
