If you think the Lions got jobbed. Help out a bit.

WAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, stop sucking your thumb and look at the obvious......he catches the ball with his hands and the Lions win. I think its pretty easy to make that call. All homer BS aside. He brings the ball into his chest. You saw that right? Possesion does not occur until the ball is secured(not moving), right? His knee is clearly OUT when the ball comes to final rest. Sorry, but it is close but easy to see.

Now.....go....errrr.....have fun with 0-4.

Think of it this way Lion fan. Even if the TD had stood,knowing your luck the Bucs woulda ran back their very first kickoff for a TD.

There is no way that there was enough evidence to OVERTURN the call. If it was called incomplete on the field the same would be true. It was just too close to OVERTURN.

Exactly

Thing about it is, that play brings up an interesting question. Pollard's ass was in bounds, as were his feet it appeared, but his knee slid out of bounds before he had total control and possessed the ball. So is a knee more important than an ass and 2 feet if the knee is out of bounds? :?

Any part of the body that touches the sideline is more important than the rest of the body that may be inbounds.

[Nixhex]

IMO the zebras suck more each year.

Look at this picture for example. McLeon intercepts the ball and Owens damn near rips his head off via his facemask and no call was made. Dante Hall had the same thing happen on a kick return and no call was made. How in the hell on an interception does the zebra not see this? Oh, but they can see a little push in the back that happened 30 yards away from the play. Pathetic.

Trix,

Read Poptarts post. There is no way that there was enough evidence to OVERTURN the call. If it was called incomplete on the field the same would be true. It was just too close to OVERTURN.

Now gofuckyourself.

if the zebras see anything like the above pics, then why isnt there enough evidence to overturn it?

in the third pic, pollards knee is about an inch from being out of bounds with the ball up by his hands. in the last pic, his knee is out and the ball moved what appears to be about 6 inches. whatever the distance, the ball was moving. that is indisputable. moving ball= no catch.

had he caught it with his hands as opposed to against body, it would have been a catch.

[Bucmonkey]

Was close either way, I've seen waaay to many calls go against Tampa to even offer up an apology here.

EXACTLY!!!!!!! These tards don't have much of a clue. They barely look up from the trough of slop they are eating let alone make good judgement calls.

A replay call is NOT, BY RULE, a judgement call.

If an official looks at the monitor and indisputable evidence (which is contrary to the call made on the field) is present, a call may be overturned.

NOTHING judemental involved in that at all.

Judgement call...?!??.......geez, you're an idiot, aren't you...?


Grego, in frame 4, Pollard has possession and control. He may have it in an earlier frame, but I don't care to argue that. I'll play along with your take that only in frame 4 is possession and control demonstrated. That means that somewhere between frame 3 and frame 4 Pollard makes a catch. How then does the official viewing this know for sure that Pollard didn't secure the catch BEFORE his right knee touched the line....at some point between frame 3 and 4....?

Answer is that he DOES NOT know for sure.

He made an ASSumption, and perhaps even a logical one, but the bottom line is that he ASSUMES something that he does not SEE.




Indisputable VISUAL evidence.


Official blew this one.

[G.O.]

cant agree with that, pop. but i do know what you are trying to say. i see the ball sliding down his arms several inches while he slides maybe 3 inches on the ground.

maybe we need the next frame to see where the ball is at that point, but still- if the ball moved that much in that short a time- with his knee one inch inside the line to maybe one or 2 outside the line in a split second, i dont see how he could have been controlling the ball.

FUCKING TARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know its not LITERALLY a judgement call. I was talking about the judgment of the people on this board. OH MY GAWD, the idiots in here are at an all-time high.

I've yet to see you raise the bar off the dirt, trixxxie.
