Not how it works. Per network/broadcasting rules or what have you, Fox only had the rights to broadcast one game today--be it from the early slate or late slate. CBS, on the other hand has the double header, early and late game this week. Since both Jets/Packers and Panthers/Rams are Fox games this week, can only have one... and local NC chose the Panthers, of course.
Then I guess that I don't understand the broadcasting rules because Fox often has double-header games, and why would the NFL block Fox from showing two games today? The NFL would have made more money if Fox broadcasted two games instead of one. Are you saying the CBS outbid Fox for a 2nd game today and the NFL only allows one network to carry 2 games?
Basically, Fox and CBS alternate having the double header each week, per their broadcasting deals with the NFL. There are exceptions, like usually both week 1 and week 18, they'll both have double headers. If you're really interested to read more about it, I believe the technical explanation is somewhere in this wikipedia article on NFL broadcasting rules: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_on_television#Doubleheaders_and_single_games
Wow, I have never seen that called. It could have changed the entire game. Good thing our defense stepped up.
If I watch other games, which is pretty rare because the NFL product is crappy because it has the worse officiating of any sport, I'll definitely be in the lookout for that occurring (coach running into ref)
Maybe, but when I watch other non jet games it's really just as bad. I'm not wasting 3-4 hours of my day to have a game decided by a terrible call or 2 or 5. Last week the falcons got totally screwed against Brady for example.
thanks i NEVER watch any other games so its good to know its not just us even though it feels that way when i see how they call shit against us that they dont against our opponent.
Fine wit me. Was out on the water today so I'll have to watch the YouTube version (much faster than the NFL Network replays).
That makes the call all the more outrageous. As said during the Game Thread, boundary issues are typically preceded by a warning before a flag is thrown. That a flag was thrown for that in those circumstances should have the NFL investigating the official that threw the flag.
"Hall scored a 34-yard touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter to put the Jets up 24-10. The play was an inside handoff that Hall was supposed to flip to Garrett Wilson, who was supposed to throw it to Braxton Berrios. Hall saw the defensive end coming up field and decided to keep the ball. He raced through the defense for the score and then did a Lambeau leap." Just read this in a NY POST article. I have to watch the all 22 but if that's true, makes the run even more impressive
Just re-watched it... yeah, that's what it looked like... but it wasn't a DE who fucked up the plan... it was a CB.
