Regardless, this particular play I have no problem with there not being a whistle. |

The play in the Auburn-Oregon BCS game a couple of years ago would have never been called properly if people listened to Twocentsworth.

Today's NFL officials seem to be following the rules from 60 yrs ago where you had to tackle the guy & lay on him for 3 seconds before was considered down. Just wait Jeff...we'll ha e plenty more of these embarrassments by the NFL officials. Can't wait for the playoffs - they'll screw up a game For sure! |

Well folks, that's a wrap. Twoscents said it was so, and thus it will be.

And yet, I'm willing to wager you know exactly what I mean and therefore it is not lost.

Conceptually perhaps, but are you really saying that if an official is 80% sure a player was down, he should blow the whistle? If not... then no, I don't know exactly what you mean. Sure is sure. Not sure is, well, not sure. Currently the line is 100% vs anything else. Not 100% sure = don't blow the whistle... so what do you really mean?

But, let me give you what I mean in another way. It seems to me that the NFL has instructed the referees not to whistle a play which is subject to automatic review even if they are sure the runner is down unless it will be obvious to the fan in the last row that the runner is down. We just don't see plays whistled were a referee is in position to be sure when it involves turnovers. I think a better standard would be based on what's obvious to a fan in the first row. Too many seemingly easy calls are getting passed to the automatic review. |
