Troll Boy Extraordinaire
First, it's not illegal to push the center down. Since he didn't grab him it's not holding and not a penalty.View attachment 151172 View attachment 151173
This won't be too much of an angry, bitter fan rant, and this isn't meant to take anything away from Denver as both teams fought hard...but in 2016, with all of the rule changes and camera angles, it amazes me that the refs could miss these 2 calls. The 2nd for obvious reasons, but the 1st is incredible in it's own right, given that the ref is standing right in front, as the center's head is getting pushed down
Second, the angle of the return makes it impossible to tell if he was out of bounds or not, especially with the white shoes. Gun to my head, I'd say he probably stepped out of bounds, but to overturn the call on the field calls for undisputed video evidence, and it just wasn't there. That call on the field will stand every time.
