Rodgers broke the plane on the TD. There were some questionable calls, but no more than in any other NFL game. Bowles, Bates, and our crappy defense cost us this one. As they always do.
I honestly do not think so. I understand that there is no way to overturn on replay but if the ruled no touchdown under replay would not have been reversed if challenged. What is worse is the ball gets knocked loose going up
Check out the reactions to this Tweet. Pretty much everyone saw the officiating for what it was in that game. Again, I love the tank, but I would have been furious if the Jets were playing for a playoff spot today.
NFL officiating is just atrocious. Yes, it's a hard game to officiate; but there are just too many dubious calls that influence the outcome of games.
The ball broke the plane. It was as clear as any camera shot going straight down the goalline is going to show. Doesn't matter if the ball was knocked out of his hands or not, so long as the ball broke the plane while in his possession. It's likely that they would't have overturned it had it been called no TD, but that's immaterial. The Jets coaching staff and defense lost this game today.
If the Refs did fuck up and get caught, you can expect another "I'm sorry" from the league to which Bowles should say: " shove it up your ass sideways".
Starting in 2016, NFL decided to use replay to enforce penalties. I have never seen it used though, until today, against the Jets, of course https://www.profootballweekly.com/2...roper-down-spot-fouls-and-game-clock/a9xtxs5/
It happens to all teams, but certain teams ,and players, seem to always get key calls to go in their favor at critical junctures. ASJ's fumble that wasn't against the Pats immediately comes to mind. In this game, the call on Adams against Graham in the end-zone was a joke. And just as they say there's holding on almost every pass play, in today's NFL, there's also contact between receivers and d-backs on every play. The problem is that more often than not, the offensive player is just as guilty of the infraction as the defender, but it's almost always called in only one direction, particularly when certain quarterbacks and teams are in close games.
