What's the summary?What the fuck? Such incredible incompetence on the part of the officials in the Carolina game.
NFL is pushing the undefeated agenda.</tinfoilhat>And the officials' error is going to result in points.
Fire them all.
3rd and 1, less than 1:00 left in the half. Newton into the pile on a sneak. CLEARLY stopped short. Somehow ruled a 1st down on the field. Reviewed by the booth. No replays showed getting past the line. But the play stands.What's the summary?
I think they got a directive from the league office not to overturn calls that aren't clearly incorrect, and therefore decided the evidence on that one was inconclusive.Call stands. What in the fuck is going on
The committee voted 3-3And that is a completed pass despite watching the ball move and hit the ground.
I don't know. I'm inclined to go with incompetence. There was zero reason to give them a first down on the sneak and more than enough to overturn it. Then the ball is on the ground for the catch.I think they got a directive from the league office not to overturn calls that aren't clearly incorrect, and therefore decided the evidence on that one was inconclusive.
You can only see the ball on the ground with the benefit of HD, frame-by-frame replay. I think you're going to see the initial call upheld on more and more of those.I don't know.

The head linesman is a second-year NFL official. It wouldn't surprise me if he flat-out didn't know the rule. In college you have to be moving forward.How the hell did the official get that call wrong on Cooper getting out of bounds? He caught it and then dove OOB. Why would the official signal to run the clock? He was overruled by another official but it essentially gave Phily a timeout. WTF
it is incredible that Ron Rivera now can be considered a good coach.Carolina passes the sniff test. Good coach, Top 5 QB, Top tier D, great running game, special teams. Where is the weakness?
They asked him if he was on the new committee determining what is a catch, and he responds "they don't call me much anymore"Pereira saying it should be overtuned.
Apologies if this was posted earlier, but wow.
