Wild Card Weekend Gamethread

[OurF'ingCity]

Yeah, how can forward progress be stopped when he was never moving forward?

 

[pokey_reese]

How was that not a fumble?

 

[The Needler]

LOL, That is a horrible call.

 

[McBride11]

You really don't think so?

Okay, maybe LAC.Good defense and Rivers is a decent QB with some good weapons.

 

[Harry Hooper]

What, they ruled his forward progress was stopped?? That's simply ludicrous. Dude was crushed, what are they talking about?

Yeah, he never even made a half-step forward during the entire play.

 

[CFB_Rules]

He didn't rule forward progress, he ruled the runner was down before the fumble. That's why he was pointing at the ground.

 

[McBride11]

He didn't rule forward progress, he ruled the runner was down before the fumble. That's why he was pointing at the ground.

Then that should be challenge-able no?

 

[pokey_reese]

If I were a KC fan I would be livid.

 

[CFB_Rules]

Then that should be challenge-able no?

I'm guessing Triplette realized he effed up and decided this was the way to "fix" it.

 

[mostman]

Took 8 seconds for the Titans to realize they should call TO.

 

[trekfan55]

Looks like the Titans defense is on its game now. The offense on the other hand...

 

[DJnVa]

He didn't rule forward progress, he ruled the runner was down before the fumble. That's why he was pointing at the ground.

No. He said forward progress which is why it couldn’t be challenged.

 

[The Needler]

The idea that even if forward progress were possible there, that the whistle was blown and the call made in the split second between initial contact and the ball coming loose is ludicrous,

 

[DJnVa]

Kelce is dead

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Kelce goes to the tent

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Kelce just got knocked the fuck out.

 

[McBride11]

Speaking of unforeseen injuries...
Kelce looks bad

 

[eustis22]

and kelce is done

 

[patinorange]

That ain’t good.

 

[Investor 11]

That's it for Kelce today

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

Concussion, out next week

 

[shoosh77]

Someone going to the tent

 

[jsinger121]

Kelce concussion

 

[GregHarris]

Protocol.

 

[mostman]

That’s also a fumble.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Why the fuck would you try to help him up

 

[OurF'ingCity]

That did NOT look good...

 

[trekfan55]

So is that a fumble?

 

[McBride11]

Also, that's a fumble

 

[rodderick]

That was another fumble, why no review? This crew If godawful.

 

[BillMuellerFanClub]

kelce doesn't know what day it is. scary stuff.

 

[CFB_Rules]

No. He said forward progress which is why it couldn’t be challenged.

I understand what he said, that's just not what he indicated on the field. Pointing at the ground is an established NFL signal. Making it up as he goes.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Al Riveron cheating!

 

[Ale Xander]

I don;t like when anyone gets hurt

But in kelce's case I'm open to suggestions

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

That's two missed fumbles in 2 minutes. GJGE, NFL

 

[johnmd20]

That was another fumble. Refs crushing it.

 

[trekfan55]

Also, that's a fumble

No chalenge, however. And why would the men upstairs (or NY or whatever) not call for a review?

 

[Harry Hooper]

Looked like Kelce's knee was down and the ball came out.

 

[ernieshore]

And these are the All-star refs.

 

[rodderick]

No chalenge, however. And why would the men upstairs (or NY or whatever) not call for a review?

They couldn't challenge, there were less than 2 minutes left.

 

[DJnVa]

I understand what he said, that's just not what he indicated on the field. Pointing at the ground is an established NFL signal. Making it up as he goes.

Yes, but then the NFL said that explanation was right. And that’s why they couldn’t review.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

They replay THAT?

 

[CFB_Rules]

And these are the All-star refs.

Well...sort of. there are 16 crews, 10 get playoff berths (Super Bowl crew also works divisional round). Wild Card would be the worst 4 of the 10, so these officials graded out somewhere between the 38th and 62nd percentile.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

And then they choose to review that obvious catch? Ok...

 

[The Needler]

Yes, but then the NFL said that explanation was right. And that’s why they couldn’t review.

Yes, because that's what he told them. They can't decide otherwise in NYC.

 

[McBride11]

No chalenge, however. And why would the men upstairs (or NY or whatever) not call for a review?

Right, NY had to review it because under 2 min. Make-up no fumble call perhaps

 

[CFB_Rules]

Yes, but then the NFL said that explanation was right. And that’s why they couldn’t review.

No Riverron said that GA was correct in saying it couldn't be reviewed, because Triplette indicated forward progress. He didn't opine on the correctness of the ruling itself.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Somebody needs to knock that loaf of bread out of Tyreek Hill's hand when he's cutting back across the field and getting hit from behind.

 

[staz]

And then they choose to review that obvious catch? Ok...

Not so sure that was obvious.

 

[Ale Xander]

Another blown call
