Williams' Fumble on the Kickoff

[percyhoward]

I've never understood why they don't synch the replays so that you can see the position of the knee being down in one shot, and the strip of the ball in the other shot.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

To me that's another week of us having to overcome a scoring play by the opposing team. Maybe its the homer in me and maybe it was too close to overturn but there is now ay you can tell me that his knee wasn't down.

 

[Tio]

It wouldn't be hard, just sync up all the broadcast camera's before the game. Makes a lot of sense.

 

[Risen Star]

He looked down to me.

 

[CowboyStar88]

He was down clear as day

 

[Titleist]

Knee was DOWN, no doubt about it. Garbage call by the refs

Didn't see it, but Sham and Laufenberg were talking about how the call could have went either way and it would be hard to overturn without indisputable evidence. If it was close, then the refs made the right call to stick with their initial ruling.

No worries we won. Happy thanksgiving

Unfortunately the initial ruling was clearly WRONG. Why the man in the booth couldn't see that is beyond me.

We should worry less about the call and more about our player's inability to hold onto the ball.

stripped while piled on by 5 defenders isnt as big a deal to me as dez who keeps coughing up the ball for no reason

No, he's coughing it up for good reason ... he's not covering the ball with two hands or keeping it tight to his body in traffic. If you're going to try to cross the field with all those defenders nearby after catching a pass, you've got to cover up.

 

[theogt]

Anyone who didn't know the initial call would say he was down.

What was indisputable was his knee was down before any camera angles showed the ball coming out. They clearly decided to assume that the ball MAYBE COULDA been moving before the cameras picked it up. They went with might have been, rather than what was actually seen.

I'll have to take you guys' word for it until I get a chance to see it later. All I was relaying is what the Dallas Cowboys' announcers said, which was that they thought the knee was down but didn't think there was enough evidence that it was down before the ball was out to overturn the call.

They were right.

There wasn't an angle shown at the time that the ruling was made that definitively showed that he had possession of the ball in his right hand when his knee was down. My opinion, he was down, but the visual proof was not shown during that sequence.

If he had been ruled down, and the same thing happened, it never would have been overturned either.

 

[Doomsay]

It was a bad call, but he also was careless in protecting the ball. Stupid decision to run it out in the first place.

That's what I'm saying. We had a clear shot of the strip and a clear shot of the knee down. They just didn't happen to be the same shot. They can synch the shots to the nearest thousandth of a second, so why don't they show both?

Because two different tape ops are rolling the replays. Hard to sync roll with two individuals doing the EVS playback.

Rookie backup return men should not be bringing kicks out from nine yards deep
