Obligatory 16 yard Hail-mary video

[Canned Heat]

bigjohn:


the rule says, " held" so that his forward progress is stopped.
__________________________________________________ _______________

1) At what point was the QB "held"....even for a split second...? He was spinning out of the tackle, and almost escaped. I can almost assure you that you and your crew would have the record for IW's if you ever wore the stripes, judging by your stance here.

2) Again....would someone please start a badminton thread so BJ can apply some real insight to something.

3) Suppose we had a HC tackle at the goal line too BJ...? Shoot us some insight. Your comments are better than the Sunday comics.

I also wouldn't rule that forward progress was stopped. Mike Carey properly let Eli Manning play through an in-the grasp situation that is now called among the best non-calls in Super Bowl history.

I agree great no call on the Miracle play!! Mike and Don Carey support our local association with instructional advice and come to our annual officials banquet every year. We are very fortunate that these gentlemen take the time to help our program.

As for Big John I think he is most definitley a troll

How can anyone say that the pass was thrown to avoid loss of yardage? If I am looking at the right video, it appears to me that the pass was thrown to an area occupied by an eligible receiver, and caught by that receiver. That's one of the ways to avoid a foul, right? Of course I'm no NF official, but NCAA that takes away IG when you get the ball to the area of a receiver.

[Texas Aggie]

you could make a case for ball being dead before the pass,

No, you can't. There's argument and advocacy, and then there's stupidity. Don't confuse them.

I think Mike Carey ran to the wrong goal line to set up for a kickoff today. The camera caught him running the other way with an embarrassed smirk on his face. Even the top dogs have brain cramps sometimes.

When we do that in our local games here, the accepted mechanic is to pick up the piece of glass on the ground, so safety sake.
