I agree. It looks like the official was doing his timing in dog years.

Or, the opposing team put a bug in the official's ear about the "illegal inbounds play "they" always run."

I don't even think he is interpreting the rule correctly to begin with. But anyways, thanks for all the advice and feedback.

Agree, and agree.

Or what if the official just isn't that good?

You're willing to go there because of one call?

Glad to see you're still as perfect as ever.

No, it's an option among all the what ifs. If anyone were to ask me why anyone did something and I wasn't there I could make assumptions. One such assumption is skill level. So since we play all these what ifs what I stated is a perfectly fine conclusion.

MTD, Sr.

Nope, and that's my point. IMO, this is ticky-tacky. A few feet is not the length of the endline.

Sure, it's a possibility, but it's not a valid conclusion based on the evidence provided. There's simply not enough evidence to make that conclusion based on one call.


So don't.
