Worst Call of the Season

Rich Boy · 12-30-12, 06:55 PM

I hope they change this rule for next season. Not even sure why it was approved in the first place.

TeamDetroit · 12-30-12, 06:57 PM

2nd worst call. The worst call still remains the GB/Sea touchdown at the end of the game. That really cost me!

ttwarrior1 · 12-30-12, 07:02 PM

either way , it was no fumble and they would of had the ball on the half inch line , all u have to do is go over any part of the white area

vikings also giving this game away..too bad but this one is over..GB wins it.

Double Bogey · 12-30-12, 07:12 PM

I just don't understand the drafting of the rule. It's not reviewable if the flag is thrown before the booth buzzes, but is if the flag comes after?

Deuce · 12-30-12, 07:13 PM

Rodgers was fukkin ticked, think he told McCarthy to take a fukkin bath.

McDabs · 12-30-12, 07:18 PM

Refs are all over the Vikings nuts stfu

Why does it even matter? He is going to review the play no matter what, whether he buzzes 10 seconds after the play or he buzzes 1 min after the play, the result is the same. The play is gona be reviewed.

Ball didn't break the plain. Coach threw the challenge flag on a play already challenged. GB player tries to hide the flag which is a personal foul. What a fuked up call

And how about that reception that wasn't a reception in the 2Q by Minny off the deflection? That was NOT a catch, and yet Minnesota turned it into a TD.

JerseyRobby · 12-30-12, 07:30 PM

Bad call but the rule is the real problem. Imagine that rule changing a playoff game.

I thought that's what this thread was going to be about. That play cost GB the game.

blame the idiot coach for not being able to challenge cause he wasted all his timeouts.

your lack of basic intelligence in any situation is completely unsurprising at this point

DrStale · 12-30-12, 08:17 PM

Not a horrible call, a horrible rule. Call was accurate based on the rule.

OK, but that doesn't make the call itself any less bad, does it?

For sure. McCarthy didn't manage this game all that well. That first challenge was really obviously not going to win.

onlooker · 12-30-12, 08:19 PM

Okay. I'm confused.

Should the throwing of the challenge flag wipe out the automatic challenge? Like it did on the Lions Thanksgiving day game.

it looked like a catch to everyone until the 10th replay with the 10th different angel. which is why you dont waste all your timeouts prior to the 2 min warning so can challenge.

challenge was supposedly initiated from the booth prior to the throwing of the flag. so they went ahead with the review.

Normally it would, but they are saying the challenge was thrown after they decided to review it. In which case its a 15 yard penalty.

But its also a 15 penalty for trying to hide/cover up the challenge flag, which is what Jordy Nelson did. He picked up the flag and tried to hide it. not sure if the refs caught it though.

I think the explanation during the game was that because the review was buzzed in from "upstairs" before the flag was thrown that it would be reviewed regardless...

Overall stupid rule. Whole thing depends on the mental capacity of the refs on the field.

That is a given on any turnover or scoring play, the play being reviewed, so why did the Lions get dicked on Thanksgiving?

Just a total mess that rule is. I'm sure it will change in the offseason.

swordsandtequila · 12-30-12, 08:28 PM

Right call, dumb rule. Was a touchdown.

in the detroit game, booth hadnt buzzed down yet.

it is a dumb rule but again blame the idiot coach who didnt know while his players did. he was breathing a sigh of relief when they reversed it to a td.

I know what your saying, but it shouldn't need buzzing on scoring and turnovers, since they are automatically reviewed.

One team got fuked, and the other caught a break.

Rule needs changed.

McBa1n · 12-30-12, 08:59 PM

I'm actually shocked by the development of the ruling on the play. First, the ruling on the field was complete dogshit. Second - this rule is something I knew about and thought I had down prior to the season, I don't understand the ruling that 'the replay booth buzzed down prior to the challenge flag being thrown' bullschtein. That's a new hook, ala the Lance Moore '2nd act' ruling that was not in the rule book. Yes, the play was called correctly, but the rules, in that situation, are super-confusing. I'm sure Mike Smith and Jim Schwartz have a bone to pick about it.

From what I understand, it doesn't matter if the booth buzzes down for a replay, because it's AUTOMATIC on a turnover or scoring play - if the coach throws the challenge flag on a play already being reviewed anyway (like Smith/Schwartz rulings), then it can no longer be reviewed no matter what. To further compound the problem/issue is Mike Perreira came on and agreed with Mike Carey's ruling. But the thing of it is, McCarthy threw the flag in about the same fashion as Smith or Schwartz. So what part about the rule is not in the rulebook?

Most officials are lawyers, by profession, and I can see why. Interpreting the rules, in certain HUGE situations like this, is something the NFL has to address. Yes, most pro-punters know NEVER to bet the favorite in Mike Carey officiated games, because his crew is not on the square and/or incompetent... But it's crap that a rule that gets graded one way is changed in another situation. To me, that's not a square ruling because it defies precedent.

Exactly what I was getting at.

They just added a twist to it with the "buzzing" ruling.

Stevedore · 12-30-12, 09:13 PM

Worst call was Dom Capers rushing only 3 on the biggest play of the game, 3rd and 11 which the Queens picked up. He pussed out and went prevent, cost GB the game.

crustyme · 12-30-12, 09:15 PM

true, every turnover and td are reviewed upstairs but not every play is buzzed down for a field review. unless they see something that may overturn it.
