LD0506 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 WTF is the point of even having instant replay if that is a TD?? A rarely seen example of a zebra eating a lion.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Wait, what? I've seen coaches throw the flag this year on scoring/turnover plays and they still review it. What kind of bull**** was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 So for those who don't have the game audio, it was just explained by the league office that it's not reviewable because of what Schwartz did. When you throw out the challenge flag illegally, you lose any right to have the play reviewed, even if the rules would otherwise mandate it. I'm not really sure what the point of that is.

skinsfan1523 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I don't understand the penalty, what benefit would that be to the thrower? Isn't that the point of penalties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 So now throwing the challenge flag is being blamed? When you see these stupid rules like the tuck and this travesty you realize that someone makes rules that make no sense regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonniey Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I read about a team that did this last week can't remember now which, but that is the rule. If you throw the red flag on any play that was going to be reviewed anyway it kills all reviews and gives the team a 15 yard penalty. I'll jhave to look up who did it last week.

Ghost of Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Since we're in contention with the Lions for a playoff berth (OK, we're hoping beyond hope) I am rooting for the Texans. Really, other than maybe the Panthers, we should be rooting for all AFC teams all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSilverMaC Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 That is a rule almost as ridiculous as the tuck rule. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more important to make up rules punishing challenge flags that appear at inappropriate times than getting things right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure what the point of that is. Same thing happened to Mike Smith last weekend against the Cards. It was during that crazy play where the DB tossed a fumble going out of bounds back in bounds to his teammate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x96bryan10 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I completely do not understand how any rule in the nfl can award a touchdown that didn't happen.....so the difference here is because no lions tackled him after ...and he made it to the endzone......I don't understand how 1 rule trumps another ....you can't say every scoring play is reviewed if there are exceptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebornempowered Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The NFL has a serious rules and officiating problem. They better get it fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, it's just they're so bad and their record is even worse, I just don't see them as a threat..except maybe to beat some NFC SOuth teams, which would be a good thing.

nonniey Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 One thing for sure after this game every coach will now know the rule. Funny thing is I knew he blew it before the penalty. How is it I know the rule and it isn't my job while a professional coached didn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 That rule ruined the game and I've lost interest because of it. A bad call is one thing a rule that stupid actually existing makes me wonder why the hell I'm wasting my time with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laxpunk2006 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 When St. Louis illegally threw a challenge flag against us this season (and were not flagged for it) why did the play get reviewed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonniey Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 What is more important? The rule or making the rigt call on a scoring play? The right call would have been made if the Coach was proficient in his job. I don't blame the officials in this play (Well too much) 95% of the error was on the coach as an easy review would have reversed the play. Officials were unsure so they were right to let it play out.
