yes the review should have taken place, IF the buzz occured prior to the snap of the ball, there was at least 12 seconds for the buzz to happen, my guess is it was a great job of officiating

10/9/2007 12:19:19 AM

the field goal complaint is a stretch

the broncos did it to the raiders

and then the raiders did it the next week

and the bills did it this week

no big deal

[Edited on October 9, 2007 at 12:21 AM. Reason : ^IF? the officials placed the ball down and then Romo spiked it...then they reviewed the play...]

10/9/2007 12:19:46 AM

not a big deal in this instance

but a big deal as a whole

and will more than likely be changed in the offseason

10/9/2007 12:21:25 AM

this was absolutely PERFECT end of game officiating by this refereeing team. I wouldn't be surprised if this team is reffing at least a conference championship game.

if you note on the first field goal "attempt" the two referees under the goal posts do not even indicate a completed field goal attempt, neither ref raises his hands, they both understood the situation and noted that the side judge probably came in and stopped the play, the refs can't stop a field goal from happening if the TO happens 1 second before the snap

10/9/2007 12:22:12 AM

it shouldn't be changed in the off-season

its a legitimate rule/loophole

10/9/2007 12:22:31 AM

This was a great game. One of the best ive seen in awhile. Gotta give props to the kicker. The man hits two 50+ yard field goals in a row...this is why these guys are paid millions.

10/9/2007 12:23:05 AM

goddamn there's a lot of idiocy in this thread.

the head referee is the only one with the buzzer. if you note, on the play where they spike it, the linesman marks the spot and the field judge is placing the ball at the spot, neither of these refs have a buzzer, they are doing their job as its outline in the handbook

10/9/2007 12:24:02 AM

Nick Folk FTW!!!

10/9/2007 12:24:07 AM

Tony Romo is a wonderful man and I am glad that he will be a QB in this league for years to come.

how can something be a legitimate loophole?

10/9/2007 12:25:10 AM

btw...there is absolutely no logical reason for the TO rule to be changed. also how on earth would you change it? you can't take a TO 1 second before the snap? how do you know when the snap will be. the side judge is responsible for making sure that the TO is taken correctly, if the ball is already snapped then no TO should be taken, if it hasn't then either coach should be able to call a timeout

10/9/2007 12:26:30 AM

That rule is terrble

Its like you're fucking a chick and trying to get her pregnant

And you're just about at the point of no return

Then she tells you she has to take a shit

Then you have to wait 10 minutes and try all over again

10/9/2007 12:26:33 AM

no, not really

10/9/2007 12:27:22 AM

the most important thing about this game is that Nick Folk has a job tomorrow

A team shouldn't have to re-do a play just because the coach/side refs don't call the timeout in time. Especially not a field goal.

There's your logical reason.

ok enough about the refs, they did an adequate job at the least...

how does TO get away with being so uncoordinated? he is not half the receiver smith is

He talks large amounts of bullshit to hype himself up and seem better than he is.

10/9/2007 12:31:21 AM

yea, my thoughts exactly. TO is WAY overrated. Paid too much as it is.





TJ who'syomomma is way better.

[Edited on October 9, 2007 at 12:34 AM. Reason : Bengals ]

10/9/2007 12:32:57 AM

^,^^,^^^ Don't be such homers. TO is damn good. So is Steve Smith.

TO is averaging 90 YPG and 19 YPC.

Smith 72 YPG and 14.4 YPC.

Doesn't look to me like Smith is that much better than TO.

10/9/2007 12:38:27 AM

Steve Smith is better at making plays after the catch than TO is

10/9/2007 12:41:19 AM

i didn't watch but the last 8 minutes of tonight's game, but i don't see how you can say that TO isn't at least good.

10/9/2007 12:41:40 AM

He's good, yes. But he's also overhyped and overrated.

10/9/2007 12:42:36 AM

he had two or more big dropps,

10/9/2007 12:44:02 AM

TO's been pretty low key this season compared to last season...

10/9/2007 12:46:31 AM

did they run any time off on the TD to terrell owens?

i thought it was at :20 when the play started and at :20 when it was over

anybody else notice this?


oh and

come on dude

10/9/2007 2:59:07 AM

we all know if it had been any receiver to drop that pass other than TO, he himself would have gone back to the sidelines like a little cockface and bitched about how it should have been him catching it.

haha, this has nothing at all to do with the QB play
NOTHING

10/9/2007 9:17:15 AM

On the two point conversion try to TO, there was some serious pass interference. The defender was not even making a play on the ball and had his back to the play, pushed/grabbed TO, and luckily was able to pull the ball out of his hands.

Even my wife said "that should be pass interference". Regardless though, I'm glad Folk hit that FG because it was worth 5 pts (over 50 yards) in my fantasy league. One hell of a game for sure.

For one thing, there was no TD pass to Owens. The 2-point conversion attempt was to Owens at 20 seconds and no time is supposed to run off the clock. On the TD pass the clock went from 24 seconds to 20.

10/9/2007 12:49:36 PM

even though i really really really wish the Bills had won cause I hate the Cowboys, that was a helluva game

10/9/2007 12:54:35 PM

As a Bills fan the only thing I can say is that it was a great game, unfortunately ouf offense is pathetic. Two defensive touchdowns from a line-up which is missing 5 starters and to still play like that is nothing short of miraculous. I hope to god the Cowboys beat the Pats next week though

Umm Delhomme has actually played well this year. At least the 4 games he did play. So I don't know what you are talking about. Also T.O. isn't even the leading receiver on the team, that would be Witten.
