As the beneficiary of the most illogical, insane, and incorrect challenge flag overrule of all time- shocking he didn't try.

Lol. It was so illogical that there were already rules on the books that governed it.

He is full of crap... how can you think youd lose the challenge when your offense ran up to hurry up and snap the ball when your people in the booth never even had a chance to see a replay. A total liar and that call was HUGE. We EASILY win the challenge and that keeps us from giving them 3 points.

Not challenging it was only the second worst part about this series. The play call on 4th and inches was the real tragedy here.

The lady ref had the call right at first, than the guy on the other side seemed like he talked her out of it....she should have held her ground...but either way it should have been challenged instead of running up to line of scrimmage like bats out of hell...

Normally I would agree, but in this situation we literally did have a painted line on the field indicating the first down marker, the 35 yard line since it was a touchback to start the series. The ball either makes it to the 35 or it doesnt, real simple to see on replay. Thats why when NBC finally did show the replay, it was blatantly obvious it was a first down, everybody from Collinsworth to the rules analyst all said it was beyond a doubt he reached the 35.
And dont forget, we are not talking about a punt here. We are talking about going for it on 4th down on your own 34 yard line. If you dont make it, that is 3 points automatically given to your opponent. You telling me the head coach cant take the time to even exhaust every option possible before going for it that deep in your own territory?

My history has been when the official tells you that, it’s usually pretty clear.
Ugh.I and others pointed out that the HC should have had someone upstairs to watch the play, replay it quickly, and tell the HC if the play should be challenged. That's his job. To properly prepare the team to make the right call. Not to wing it by feelz, based on his experience of how the refs talk. Sheesh. He didn't even trust his own eyeballs. He went by his inferences from the behavioral patterns of officials. Totally unserious.

One of the refs was named "Hussey", and I was so hoping it would be the woman, but alas, it was not.
