The booth never BEEPED IN TIME

[playmakers]

I just watched the replay on DVR and watch the refree he made no attempt to stop the game until well after Romo had spiked the ball. They didnt beep in time but since it was such a rush the ref just gave the benfit. Think about it, in 17 seconds the booth got the replay up to them, watched it and beeped down? I dont think so. What a sham that was. However, Im not complianing, WE WON, I dont know how but its awesome.

was a bull**** deed by the refs if you ask me, we won so it doesn't matter, but we got the play off. The refs can go **** themselves that was not right.

The refs did have a couple of bad calls, but in that situation, it's their job to get it right. Think about if the tables were turned, do you want the Patriots getting that kind of call to go their way with the game on the line against us, or do you want the booth to have the chance to get the call right?

I thought the same thing but curious what you guys think about it.

I still want to know if Romo hadn't gotten the spike off would they still have reviewed the play? Because then it would have been to our advantage.

Divine intervention, we win

 

[playmakers]

Yea, if you taped the game and intentionally watch the refree {you can see him the whole time} you can see he made no attempt and I think actually blew the play dead. However, I thought the refs did overall a decent job tonight. I dont think they could of called faceguarding in that situation.

TO was forced out and McBriar was ran into the next play.

It hapepens to us, time to get used to it.



Oh yeah, TOs delay of game?!?!

What ticked me off was how slow the Ref's were to get the ball reset. In situations like that they should be much more efficient.

That really ticked me off. Later in the game one of the Bills WR did the exact same thing as TO but they didn't call it. f'em is all I have to say about that.

TO spiking the ball? He flipped it...

That was my thought too. I don't think there's any way that play gets reviewed if time runs out. You have fans running all over the field, it goes as a T.O. catch and a Cowboy loss.

 

[Hoofbite]

I was questioning how in the hell the refs made the review call. The play was downed at like 11 seconds and the next snap happened at like 2 seconds. You telling me that in 9 seconds they made the decision that it needed reviewing. Give me a break.

Good observation. I hadn't thought about it that way. I wonder too.

 

[WV Cowboy]

When was the last time you saw the "play before the last play" getting reviewed?

Why do teams rush up to the line sometimes to snap the ball quickly so it can't be reviewed?

Because once the next play is run, you can't go back.

Oh, unless it's the Cowboys.

OK, I got it.

I highly doubt that if there would have been a replay if we dont get the clock stopped.

 

[EPL0c0]

I think the burden should be on not just the booth guys, but on the officials. Give a buzzer to the Ref, Ump and LineJudge. And only allow a review *IF* they blow the whistle on time. Intent of blowing the whistle shouldn't negate a play.

Hmmmm......You bring up a very good point. I am going to say that the game would have ended.

As far as wether the booth has to actually see a replay before buzzing the field, I don't think that is the case.

TO spiking the ball? He flipped it...

And the Back Judge was walking over to the ball to pick it up since it was rolling right to him....

 

[Avery]

I will say this, though: it was the right call and I would be super pissed if we lost a game in that fashion due to that.
