What the heck was that review before the Maher 60 yard field goal before the half?

[MarionBarberThe4th]

The delay was extreme, but we've all seen plenty of plays ran over the years where they come back and say they were buzzed before the snap.

Surprised at so many pretending they haven't. Selective memory, I guess?

No

They are going to say there was no snap, because the call to review came in before the snap, like a last second time out to ice kicker, the ball might get snapped, but it's a "non play." Not saying this is right, but that's going to be the league's line on this.

If that's the case, it should've been whistled dead.

 

[Kevinicus]

No

No what?

That was 100% factual, not opinion. Well, except for saying the delay was extreme. You disagree with that?

 

[CWR]

Complete BS.

1. We completed it.
2. Ran out the play clock.
3. CALLED A FREAKING TIMEOUT.
4. Sat around for the timeout.
5. Lined up and kicked a 60 yarder.

THEN they review the catch!!!!!!???!!!

Bull crap.

Yes, exactly, and had Maher missed it never would've happened.

 

[CWR]

It was a both review too right, because Minny was out of TOs and couldn't challenge????

 

[Kevinicus]

If that's the case, it should've been whistled dead.

If it's just before the snap there is no time. Has happened many times before.

Because it was under 2 min.

It's all so ridiculous. Cmoney23 post say it all. There was an extended sequence of events and more than enough time to get the review in.

If it's a Minny initiated review it makes sense. If it can from the league it's blatant.

Only booth review inside of two minute

Yeah the timing of the review was suspiciously odd. If you're going to challenge atleast do it right away or during the Cowboys timeout. I'm impressed Maher made it twice in a row.

Heads better roll cmon that’s some clownery

Pure ineptitude

 

[CWR]

Yeah I thought that might be the case. Geez, they had sooooo much time to get that right.

If that doesn't smell foul, nothing will ever bitter you with these officials. To that, I say congrats. Wish I could say the same.

 

[CWR]

Only booth review inside of two minute

Which makes it sooo much worse.

A classic example of icing the kicker....except it was done by the refs.

Really, the refs shouldn't be able to run a booth review once the players enter the field following a time-out. They had plenty of time to look at it earlier.

The delay and being last second is definitely a bad look.

Another rule change coming, at our expense, of course.

but we've all seen plenty of plays ran over the years where they come back and say they were buzzed before the snap.

Yeah but usually there is some commotion to alert the fan or the commentators that something is up as the ball is being snapped or just after. The celebration was winding down before they indicated anything.

There was indication right after the play. CBS just focused on the celebration, so it was easy to miss.

It’s happened before, but that’s the only time I’ve ever seen it happen the way it did today. A lot of time passed between when the catch occurred and the first FG attempt took place. If they were going to review it, they should have done it a lot quicker than they did. The NFL got very lucky that Maher made the rekick, otherwise, there would have been a LOT of pissed off people…not that the NFL gives a rat’s ***…

It was illegal. The field goal attempt was snapped and kicked before they blew the whistle. Once the ball is snapped, the previous play automatically stays as called as it cannot be reviewed.
