2019 NFL Playoff Game Thread - WC Round

[Van Everyman]

Who challenged that?

Al Riveron

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Who challenged that?

Booth review

 

[Ed Hillel]

We fixed the catch rule!

 

[DJnVa]

always pick up the ball even when it's blown dead. never know.

It wouldn't be a recovery with the whistle being blown.

 

[Marciano490]

Damn. Too bad neither team paid their players extra to recover every ball that hits the ground.

 

[staz]

This is nuts.

 

[Average Reds]

I thought it was a catch and fumble

Then the rule sucks, because once the ref rules it incomplete, no one will treat it as a fumble.

Edit: the rule still sucks.

 

[Catcher Block]

No one recovered it because the ref stood over the ball saying it was incomplete. This is insane.

 

[johnmd20]

Nice explanation ref.

What the fuck?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

??????????

 

[Ed Hillel]

That is fucking ridiculous.

 

[j44thor]

WTF? Refs couldn't have blown that worse.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Ladies and gentlemen...the NFL

 

[mikeot]

What is a catch ? Vexing the best minds since the founding of the NFL.

 

[shawnrbu]

Corrente botched it.

 

[soxin6]

The NFL refs continue to show how horrible they are

 

[Van Everyman]

Holy shit did they fuck that up

 

[Catcher Block]

Wait. What?

 

[JCizzle]

This is on the refs. I think the result is fair.

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

NFL is such a joke.

 

[DJnVa]

Bad call.

 

[Hoya81]

How can it be a catch with the Db’s arm in there

 

[McBride11]

They can't call it a catch because no one recovered the subsequent fumble? What?

 

[Ed Hillel]

What???

 

[DJnVa]

Wait, without a recovery they can't rule it a catch? What?

 

[Catcher Block]

Then why review it?

 

[rymflaherty]

Fuck does a recovery have to do with whether it was a catch or not?!?

 

[Freddy Linn]

“It was a fumble but we picked the ball up.”

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Is that really part of the rule?

 

[staz]

"The ball was, um, words and stuff, replay 2nd down"

 

[Fred in Lynn]

But you also took away a potential recovery of a fumble from Philly.

If coaching staffs everywhere aren’t stressing playing through whistles, they’re asleep at the wheel.

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

That was maybe the most effed up review I’ve seen.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

NFL referees making shit up on the spot. What a shitshow

 

[johnmd20]

How do you NOT pick that off? This is murderous.

My guess is that the CB who dropped that pass is only paid to defend passes, not catch them.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

This is a shitshow

 

[DJnVa]

This is on the refs. I think the result is fair.

You're still taking catch away from the Bears.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

If that really is the rule, then there will be a rule change this off-season

 

[Al Zarilla]

Oh, I can throw on the run off the wrong foot Trubisky.

 

[Marciano490]

How do you NOT pick that off? This is murderous.

My guess is that the CB who dropped that pass is only paid to defend passes, not catch them.

I’m enjoying this theme. I hope we can work it through the SB.

 

[Average Reds]

Nice hands out there all around.

 

[johnmd20]

I’m enjoying this theme. I hope we can work it through the SB.

Yes, it's really good stuff. If more people catch up to that other thread, it will become something.

 

[DJnVa]

But you also took away a potential recovery of a fumble from Philly.

Sure....but the catch DID happen. The recovery was all potential. One thing we saw, one is assuming.

And Chicago could have recovered it as well.

 

[McBride11]

just call it Chi ball where the WR fumbled it. Like if it got fumbled out of bounds

 

[HurstSoGood]

I'm 97% sure that was a 100% debacle. 97%.

 

[Average Reds]

But you also took away a potential recovery of a fumble from Philly.

If coaching staffs everywhere aren’t stressing playing through whistles, they’re asleep at the wheel.

Except that would not apply here, since there was, in fact, a whistle.

 

[shawnrbu]

Great game. Black & Blue NFC Football.

 

[Marciano490]

How can you not trust Mitch with another endzone try?

 

[Fred in Lynn]

I’m enjoying this theme. I hope we can work it through the SB.

Can it involve performance improved by a CPAP?

 

[Marciano490]

Yes, it's really good stuff. If more people catch up to that other thread, it will become something.

You and me man. We’ll carry that flag forward. Like the end of Glory.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Cris didn’t watch the first game today obviously (craziest stuff ever).
