So sick of seeing the Patriots in the SB

[black francis]

Reruns of both games will be shown tonight on the NFL network starting at 8 PM. Not sure if reruns of the Myles Jack play will be shown and analyzed.

theyll probably just edit that play out entirely.

Let it play out, then review it

It shouldn't be that difficult.

In the article you quoted the NFL has said the refs are specifically told not to do that. Call the play as you see it. Don't hold off because you want to be able to review it.

But again if the ref felt he was down by contact it's his job to blow the whistle. The ref may have screwed up here but its one of those plays that happen in this game. No way that ref will say anything other then I ruled him down by contact.

To what end? If the ref screwed the pooch nothing can be done about it now. But you know people, well, some people have to try and find a way to lessen the accomplishments of the Pats. It's funny you would think supposed grown behind men would be able to move past all the drama. But in the end most are just looking for attention.

Yeah, you could review all the calls in the game and I think they would likely work out evenly. Refs make the calls on the field as best they can and the ultra-slow reruns show how the difficulty of the job.

Exactly I really think people underestimate how difficult it is to be an NFL ref, how fast things move.

Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack made a sensational play in the AFC Championship Game when he ran down Patriots running back Dion Lewis, forced a fumble and recovered it. But did the officials rob Jack of an even more sensational play?

After recovering the ball on the ground, Jack got up and started sprinting down the field, appearing to have a clear path to the end zone. The officials immediately blew the play dead, however, ruling Jack down by contact as soon as he recovered.

The question is whether Jack actually had made contact with Lewis after he recovered the fumble. And replays indicate that he may not have: Jack was still grasping for the ball as he rolled over and away from Lewis and didn’t appear to have possession of the ball until he was free of Lewis and not near any other Patriots. Jack clearly didn’t think he was down, which is why he got up and started sprinting for what could have been a touchdown.

The play was reviewed, but only as to the question of whether it was a fumble and whether the Jaguars recovered. It clearly was a fumble and Jack clearly did recover. But there could be no review of whether Jack was down by contact after recovering the ball because the officials had blown the play dead. Once a play is blown dead, nothing that happens after that can be changed in instant replay.

If the officials had allowed the play to continue, Jack may very well have run for a touchdown that would have given the Jaguars a 27-10 lead with less than 14 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. It’s possible the Patriots still could have come back and won, but it would have been a whole lot harder if they were behind by three possessions instead of two.

The official who blew the play dead may have had a better view than the TV cameras of where Jack and Lewis were at the time Jack recovered the fumble, or he may have just assumed Jack was touched down because he saw Jack and Lewis going to the ground right next to each other. If the officials would err on the side of letting a play go, it would allow replay to fix any mistakes. But when asked about the play, the league office told PFT that officials are supposed to call what they see, and not let a play go just because they might get corrected on replay.

“The ruling on the field was a fumble, recovered by the defense. Because a whistle was blown, there could be no advance of the fumble, and that ended the play,” NFL spokesman Michael Signora told PFT via email. “Replay was used to determine if in fact it was a fumble and/or if the player was down by contact, but no advance of the fumble could be added at this point. The officials are instructed to officiate as to what they see on the field, not to replay.”

This play was blown dead, and it may have cost the Jaguars a touchdown that could have been the difference between a loss and a trip to the Super Bowl.

I saw that. I may watch the Pat/Jags game but I'm not watching that Eagles game--there's no way they beat the Vikings again.

Foles is now fully primed after completing his tune-up games. I think he'll go into MN and surprise everyone again.

Down by contact. End of discussion you have a wonder filled day, just keep working on schemes and dreams of how to take away from the greatest football team in the history of the game.

Hard to blame an official for blowing that one dead. A lot of contact going on.

Reasonable people would think down by contact.

I agree, I think that is what the ref saw.

Ok buddy, as soon as something happens against the patriots we will wait for YOUR complaint about it.

Dynasty picks up steam when Brady retires as long as Belichick sticks around IMO. You would have seen identical results with Gus Frerotte all these years.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Brady isn't gonna retire until he starts losing it, he loves playing way too much, and he's still doing it at a high level... He'll know when it's time... Father time will make it clear..

LOVE these threads.

Seattle should of done what the Patriots did on that play, I mean @#$^ me ... It wasn't rocket science ...
