You're being ignorant. the refs don't need to do anything. A judgement call isn't reviewable. It's quite simple.
Hey, guys, I'll spellcheck...and I worked at 280 Park Avenue. I know how these morons are more interested in covering their asses than doing the right thing. And aside from the Raiders, the Jets are one of the teams that the NFL office knows it can screw with impunity (because they knew that Leon and Woody are easy-going). Other teams I heard them diss all the time are the Falcons, Seahawks, and Colts (teams they kissed-up to include Denver, Pittsburgh, NE, Miami, and a few others). I have hung around these idiots from the NFL and heard about how they have plotted against various teams. You wouldn't believe the crap I heard them talking about. Ok, it may have just been outside talk on a July afternoon, but sometimes I wish I had a tape recorder. I could have sold the information back to them for a small fortune !
I guess they could call for it to be reviewed upstairs or somehting,otherwise Mangini would not have taken the timeout to give them more time to think about it.
We agree..they don't have to do anything. Except they got the call WRONG -- Bob Costas just said as much on NBC -- and it cost us the game.
Seems like you are just making stuff up and You're obviously having a tough time grasping the rule. It's called a rule because that's the way it goes. A judgement call is NOT REVIEWABLE. Is it really that hard to understand? Judgement in error, Judgement on the Field Judgement Judgement Judgement is NOT REVIEWABLE! PERIOD.
No. It can NOT be reviewed. Judgement calls are not reviewable by replay. Being pushed out, as wrong as they were, is a judgement call. The only thing they could look at the replay for after that play was a clock issue, or the line of scrimmage, etc. The refs can huddle to make sure they have it right, but the replay booth (since it was inside 2 minutes) can NOT call down to have it reviewed. Sorry, you're wrong here.
I will email them, and say that there were 4 pass interference penalties on the Browns that were not called. I will tell them that anyone with one good eye could see that Baker was forced out. I will tell them that for the first time in my life, I believe that some NFL games are fixed. This one WAS fixed.
He called the TO to give them more time to discuss it on the field (He said in his post game) . He knew it wasn't reviewable but he was actually just grasping at straws. He figured, What did he have to lose..
They will definately get a phone call from me on Mike Carey's officiating crew. 4 FACEMASK PENALTIES WERE NOT CALLED!! 4!! And for a reg to call incomplete, then his buddy run up and say he was forced out only to still call it incomplete... What a shitty referee crew.
Well, there have been other games this year and last where calls that were 'not-reviewable' were so critical to the game that the refs volunteered up to the replay booth. Judgement or error is ridiculous....the call was WRONG and not only should it have been challengeable by Manginin/Jets, but the refs should have the ability to review it themselves. This wasn't a call in the 2nd quarter, for chrissakes. It was the key play of the game.
I thought I was the Only one that saw those. I called 2 in the Gamethread on Leon alone. 1 on a run the other on the SHort KO Return. Where were the other 2?
NAME the games... It can not happen. Replay can only be used for particular calls... no way it happened outside the parameter of the rules. The refs have no way of looking at a replay unless challenged by the coaches, or in the last 2 minutes, by the replay booth... end of discussion.
So you're saying that if 1 of the refs went to the other 2 and said "Hey, you f***** up, he was clearly gonna be inbounds and they knocked him 4 feet outside the sideline" -- they can't do anything but say "Well, I didn't call it a touchdown so I can't change it since it was a judgement call" by asking for help upstairs? They can huddle, they can call upstairs. It's up to them. They have discretion -- the most important thing is to get the call right.
Fair enough, I'll review where I read it. Maybe it was Peter King's MMQB. But I can't believe the NFL Officiating folks would have objected to get the call right.
