"Possession" has to do with a catch, not an interception or fumble as they spell out in the Rule that allows NY to buzz in outside of 2 minutes.
Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaah

Can’t they look at the big board in the stadium to reverse a call or non call? I seem to remember that happening to the good guys this season.

Being 100% sincere. You might be the least bright person on the entire board. Congrats. That’s some achievement around here.

Omg hahaha. ITS NOT A REVIEW!!!!

ARTICLE 9. GAME ADMINISTRATION AND CONSULTATION. The Replay Official and designated members of the Officiating department may consult with on-field officials, or conduct a replay review,

I'm sorry, what? Reviews are governed by Rule 15 in the book. Go look at it.

Rules aside...... all I know is it was 100% a fumble with a clear recovery for Dallas. Would have given us the ball at around the 30 with 2 minutes to go. More than enuff time to get in FG range if not maybe even score a touchdown. What a way to lose a game. Just one more ODD hosejob at the end of a game to endure.

Here's the REAL review rule, not something someone tries to shoehorn into a reviewable play that isn't. Highlights in red.
RULE 15 INSTANT REPLAY
SECTION 1 INITIATING A REPLAY REVIEW

ARTICLE 2. REPLAY OFFICIAL REQUEST FOR REVIEW. Only the Replay Official or the Senior Vice President of Officiating
or his or her designee may initiate a review of a play:
(a) that begins after the two-minute warning of each half;
(b) throughout any overtime period;
(c) when points are scored by either team;
(d) that is a Try attempt (successful or unsuccessful); and
(e)
when on-field officials rule:
(1) an interception by an opponent;
(2)
a fumble or backward pass recovered by an opponent or that goes out of bounds through the opponent’s end zone;
(3) a scrimmage kick touched by the receiving team and recovered by the kicking team; or
(4) a disqualification of a player.
Such plays may be reviewed regardless of whether a foul is committed on the play that, if accepted, would negate the on-field
ruling.
The Replay Official may only challenge a play until the next legal snap or kick. The Replay Official may consult with a
designated member of the Officiating department at the league office regarding whether to challenge a play.

I agree, they should. But there's a balance between stopping play every 3rd play that's close and allowing for game flow.


Game flow is useless if we are missing turnovers though man.

I agree with it like. We don’t want every hold and every little thing getting reviews and stopping the game.

but things like would be scores and would be turnovers. The booth should be able to review. Regardless of a teams remaining timeouts. Those plays are too consequential to the outcome of the game to not get it right when the evidence is there on video.

They are reviewable but have to be called as such for them to be reviewed. Otherwise you'll always have the defense jumping up claiming the ball was loose and should be reviewed.

Already a thread for this but the play has to be ruled a fumble. A turnover can be reviewed by the booth buzzing down outside of 2 minutes. Since it was called down and not a turnover, it's not reviewable.

yeah that is what I thought. however I wish they would change that rule.

I can see where the official missed it though. Their view point, you can’t see through the player with the way the ball was underneath him. And that it was loose. Therefore looked as if down by contact.
And we know refs have a hard time seeing, let alone not having x-ray vision. :laugh:

I didn’t like it, but understood it. It was MM’s stupidly using those TO’s on 1st downs and therefore not having a challenge.

I’m saying the booth official should be able
To call for the review. It shouldn’t require the head coach of a team having to challenge it themselves.

What you described was exactly what happened on the Dez no catch in Green Bay. The ball touching the ground was shielded from the on the field ref which is why the reverse angle in replay is what revealed that the ball hit the ground and got that reversed.

I agree if they can find a way that it doesn't slow the game down or give advantages to one side or another during a hurry-up offense or with time running out, etc.

My son is an NCAA baseball official and I officiated NCAA hoops back in the day long before replay.. I've asked my son how do umpires feel about the review process and, it was surprising that he told me they all are very much in favor of it. He says those officials basically are more about "getting it right" than worrying about whether or not they missed one. Knowing many umpires at the professional level, he says they all welcome it as well, again - to call the best possible game.

This is NOT how the NFL or officiating crews respond to the technology - to the detriment of the game.
