Not sure that's a first down.....

 

[jimmy40]

ball was short.

Can you imagine being a Saint or Vikes fan? They must be nervous as hell

 

[Gemini Dolly]

He did get the 1st down, but not by as much as they first have it.

 

[RCowboyFan]

He got it. YOu cannot overturn it based on that replay. Its not indisputable. He seems like he got a generous spot, but even on replay seems like he got it.

What makes the Vikings have a really good defensive line, is it Just Allen or other players? I know the Cowboys have D. Ware, Spencer and Ratliff but they don't seem to pressure QB's the way the Vikings do

All four of their d-line are quite good.

The Williams brothers. Those guys need to be doubled so it leaves the DEs with one on ones against the Tackles. Allen is guy that has to be doubled.

they should of let bush jump

They would have never tried a FG there, and it would have over 60 yards anyway.

An incomplete pass would have been 55. And a 3 yard run by Favre when he rolled out would have been in Longwell's range for sure.

 

[newera]

ball was short.

I think he got it with his forward progress.

 

[utrunner07]

Even if its overturned...how can they go back and measure? The sticks have already been moved

I believe they have a clip marker for the past down that they do not move.

No, it would have been a 54 yarder, and secondly, it would have ended the quarter.

May not have because of the bobble. But no way you can overturn it based on those replays.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Need a sensor in the ball to get the real spot.

 

[Rampage]

ballgame

 

[Yeagermeister]

That's game

 

[trickblue]

They'll throw that flag...

 

[StylisticS]

Was that catchable?

 

[utrunner07]

wow that was stupid stupid stupid.

 

[reddyuta]
