And somehow I am totally missing the wing during that play. The only officials that are near the action at the end of the play are the R and the U.

Post by: TXMike on November 15, 2010, 05:42:15 AM: Gut says R blew but absence of H is perplexing. Even if he thought ballwas still live wouldn't he get back in line with the action? If he had blown surely he would have dropped back to "dead ball" spot. The "offended" team self destructed after that play. Mistakes happen, but When a team faLls apart after a ref's mistake, that is on the team not the crew.

Either way, horrible error.

Post by: TXMike on November 15, 2010, 06:51:21 AM: Did you hear the whistle? Seems if the big ole U had blown it we would have heard it. I'm going with the smaller R, or the phantom H

He's getting his rules knowledge from Sunday football, where they did make such a change.

Translation: If ya gotta chocolate whistle, ya may as well blow the thing hard once you've *&@#*@&ed up.

Post by: KB on November 15, 2010, 08:56:12 AM: If you blow it, blow it hard. That way everybody knows you made an honest mistake.

If you blow it just a little, everybody knows that you were not sure in the first place.
