If it was complete, I think there would have been a runoff because of the review, because the clock would have been running, and the half would have ended.
This was so exciting. Deep pass, great play. Race up the field, gotta snap or spike the ball, clocks running tick tock tick tock
Hold on hold on hold on
Let’s make this as boring as possible

The review was the play before the foul. The foul apparently never happened, because the booth called for a review on the play before it.
OK. The problem with the Coliseum as a football stadium was that they had the track for track and field events between the stands and the football field. That made all the seats, I don’t know, 20 yards further from the football action than for a normal stadium. Still that way? It sounds quiet tonight like it might be.
Right but if the play WASN'T overturned, then the foul stands, and the clock is dead by rule.
I think if the play was upheld, the way Hochuli was talking, they would have assessed the offsides against the Rams.
No that's when it was known. Raiders announced it after the Tenn-KC game
I think we're talking about two different things. The play to Gurley in the flat happened. It was called complete on the field. The Rams went to the line quick, and snapped it and that's when the defender was called for offsides. That snap never actually took place, because the booth called for a review of the prior play. It was dead at that point. If they upheld the ruling on the field, the clock would have been running, and they would have called a runoff against the offense. The penalty never officially occurred once they went back and reviewed the previous play.
You can't review a play after the snap of the next play, so the only way they could have reviewed it was if they completely eliminated the snap and penalty that happened.
That makes no sense. That violates the rule where you can't review a play once a subsequent snap takes place. You can't go back and review a play, and then make a determination and then apply to a play after that already happened.
Hochuli was most circumspect in his explanation. The penalty called was a pre-snap penalty, so no play after the questionable catch took place before the NFL Command Center overturned the completed catch ruling. The overturn meant the penalty in NFL reality never had a chance to occur.
That's why Ed kept emphasizing it. The offsides was a penalty BUT that makes it not an official snap so it doesn't preclude a prior review. The penalty would still stand. Or he would have no reason to emphasize the penalty still occurred. I think it is a loophole.
Well. Growing your own grass finally became legal this New Years. So they are a bit new at this.
Sorry, that's what I meant, that they coupdn't challenge there. But I never got why theybdidn't buzz in for a review from upstairs.
Quinn learned his lesson. When you have a lead in the playoffs and you have a good running game, you use it.
I like the Falcons running the ball here but man their insistence on trying to get Jones a TD is going to kill them. Throw the fucking guy a jump ball in the end zone for fuck’s sake.
You are gashing them down the entire field by running. Five to seven yards a pop. Then you get to the 7 yard line and you pass it twice. Absurd. Maybe Quinn hasn’t learned a thing after all.
Atlanta +2 in the turnover department but only up 6 because they're settling for FGs in Rams territory.
But it can't be a pre-snap penalty. It was defensive offsides (it wasn't encroachment, because Hochuli was clear the defender never got back to the other side of the LOS), which only occurs once the ball is snapped. The whole thing makes no sense. The only way Hochuli could have granted that review was if he claimed he didn't hear the buzzer and that's why the subsequent snap was allowed to happen. But once they went back to review the prior play, everything that happened after the snap should have been irrelevant.
The whole thing made no sense. But fortunately, I think they ended up in the right place.
I think the bolded part may clear it up a bit. Thanks. Although, I've never, ever seen anything play out like that. From a logical perspective, it just doesn't make any sense.
I hear ya. And who knows if either of our interpretations are accurate. Guess it's good the overturn actually resolved all this.
Really? Wow.
There is a video out there (I saw it on Barstool and not sure how to link) but Peters for KC is running off in the tunnel with fans around him and recording:
Fan yells: Let's go Marcus!
Peters: SHitttt, where we goin?? Home?
