The refs' "missed" fumble on Schultz changed the entire complexion of the game

[MarcusRock]

Since people here like to contend that they just want a fairly called game I'm shocked that this play hasn't been talked about. With Indy already up 3-0 and the Cowboys driving for what would be their first score, Schultz clearly fumbles this ball that the refs, who you all say swallow their whistles, immediately blow a play dead that was a fumble and Indy had pounced on. @Blackrain told me to be vigilant about what the refs might be up to in this game and will you look at this? An egregious benefit to Dallas who were trailing and about to go down 10-0 if this had stood. With the Cowboys as notorious slow starters, pass-happy Moore probably would have abandoned the run and Air (Pick City) Prescott would have been front and center in the offense. This obvious intentional blown call kept that from happening. Matthew Stafford said it best about AT&T Stadium: "Home cookin'!"

Schultz clearly fumbles this ball

Knee down before the ball came out.

 

[Doomsday]

He recovered the ball so even if it was a fumble it didn't matter.

It is also why the Colts didn't bother to challenge the play.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Yet another one disappointed in a Dallas win.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

His knee and forearm is down before ball comes loose. Also Shultz got the ball back.

How anybody can think that was a fumble is looking for an agenda to push

 

[doomsday9084]

He . . . . got the ball back.

THANK you. I was (ridiculously) yelling at the TV (Chris and MIke specifically) for saying indy should ask for a review. Schultz made a clear recovery.

Phew this thread is over lol

Knee down before the ball came out.

Wow. Plain video showing you the ball was out of his possession before either was down. It's not about "out," it's possession. It was tucked and then pried untucked.

 

[Silverz1972]

He recovered the ball. So no effect.

Doesn't matter. The momentum created from just hearing the official announce to the stadium that it was a fumble would've been too much for the Cowboys to overcome.

But But But he got ball back... how that change the momentum? Not like he lost the ball

I would need to see a couple other angles on this to say one way or another.

Even if they ruled a fumble ; he recovered it.

Nope.

For sure bro.

If anyone thinks this will destroy our conspiracy theory that the league/refs are out to get us, they are sadly mistaken.

 

[bottleKids]

Sorry a play went our way?

Here is the photo of the ball out. Schultz barely has one hand on the ball with the Colts player pouncing on it with 2 hands. The Colts player let go once the ref right there immediately blew his whistle vehemently saying Schultz was down. He clearly wasn't. Egregious non-call.

He recovered the ball so it would not have mattered.

It seem like Shultz always seems to get stripped from behind. Carolina and Cincinnati come to mind. Shultz has to correct this.
