The play obviously should have been challenged. CBS cut to a shot of Rex Ryan. An assistant in the press box, detached from the sideline madness and with the help of TV monitors, presumably was instructing Ryan what to do.


But stationed at Ryan’s left shoulder was team chaplain James Trapp, among the spiciest hotheads when he played defensive back for the Oakland Raiders, Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars from 1993 through 2003.


Trapp, the hood from his parka pulled up, tapped Ryan’s arm. Trapp shook his head repeatedly and said, “No, no, no.”


The risk of challenging and the call being upheld would be a lost timeout.

Oh that's the guy you want next to you with a game winding down.

Edit : That's the Hogan play.

An appropriate amount of thinking obviously went into how these things unfolded. The mentality of this organization is creepy.

It's sort of ridiculous :


But at that specific moment, Ryan’s entire focus should have been on whether or not to challenge. When Trapp poked the head coach, Ryan gave him full attention right then and there.


The team chaplain, of all people, was (at best) giving the head coach bad advice or (at worst) distracting him right before the two-minute warning in a one-score game.

That's overly pessimistic and melodramatic. But there's that, yes.

The chaplain

You can't make this stuff up. Good to know Rex listens to a chaplain. We are so amateur.

James Trapp ? You have got to be kidding. It has to be a joke.

The same loser I remember playing for the Raiders ? Rex is listening to this idiot on whether or not to challenge calls ?

I've f-g heard it all now. Please tell me this is a joke and I just fell for it.
