Refs suspicious fumble screwd job in Skins game

[frostno98]

During the 3rd quarter, Campbell had the ball stripped away from him deep in the Skins territory that was clearly a clean strip fumble. Refs claimed that his momentum stopped and the whistle blew. The play happened so fast, that there's no way his momentum was stop. Impossible, and on Replay their was clearly no whistle until after the Broncos defender stripped the ball away.

Something smell awfully fishy, because the whistle did not blow to stop play until after the fact.

Yup goes to show you how corrupt the NFL is. No wonder the odds were so good for the Broncos. Same thing happened to Dallas against GB. Rb for dallas recovers fumble and they say play is unreviewable even though it was clear that the cowboys got the ball back. I don't like these not reviewable calls. This just opens up the door for the refs to cheat when they have to.

Check my blog about professional sports in general being fixed to some degree. We have the technology to make every play reviewable, why would we not have every play reviewable? Because then the refs can't influence the game...

This thread has nothing to do with why Denver lost. The Ref made a Phantom call. They claimed they blew the play. Fox replay clearly shows that no whistle was blown, when the pristine picture perfect strip fumble occurred. There's no explanation for that, how these Pro's can miss something that simple.

This is not like the Ed Houculi play against San Diego last year, where the whistle was inadvertently blown. It never happen here. The Ref made the wrong call after the fact, claiming that Denver stop Campbells Momentum. They barely touch the guy and he could still move freely.

Either way this game, was setup for Washington to at least cover the spread.

Frostno is correct. Huge game changer.

I was damn lucky to have DEN -2.5 1H and not the game

You had to know Denver was going to eventually implode. Choke artists those guys are. Glad to see my Chargers back at the top of the AFC West where they belong. Philip Rivers and Co are going to dick slap the donkeys next sunday

I agree. Every play should be reviewable or nothing should be reviewable. At first I really liked instant replay but it has totally changed the way the game is called, and I think in a bad way. Refs let more plays go because they know they can always have it reviewed. So the whistles blow a lot later and they pretty much make any questionable fumble/incomplete pass call a fumble originally and then know they can always change it once its subsequently reviewed. I guess that wasn't the case here though...
