    One last thing about the game on Sunday!

    Last year, week 3 in Miami, Ricky Williams is stopped cold on what I think was 4th and goal with about 2 minutes left, but then on a second or thrid surge he crossed the plane and they gave him a TD.

    On Sunday, Travis was still moving his legs and on a second effort he reached the ball over the goal line. I know it’s another judgement call but it still hurts.
    Resign our own guys!

    I could not really tell for sure but at that point in the game that one was worth a challenge.

      I agree but if you admit that you could not tell then ask yourself if there was CONCLUSIVE proof to overturn the call on the field...the replay rules are such and that might not be fair but I still say there was not conclusive proof...no angle at all.




      For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

        Thats another disadvantage being a sucky team. Our games don't have all the cameras the national games do so a lot of plays don't get the camera angles needed. I doubt that play would have been reveresed. I'm not critisizing Mularkey for not trying it.

          I agree...and I would have screamed at GW if he had challanged it...I was going to be willing to give MM the benefit of the doubt...but in rethinking it, if he challanges and loses we lose a TO that might have been important later and he could have demoralized the team...all in all MM did the thing...

            They have a goalline camera. They showed it I think twice in replaying it. CBS coverage sucks. On the one quick time I saw it, I saw Henry's arm with the ball. The first time, I mistook something else for the ball.

              Of course, it all depends on when the whistle blew. That's something we didn't hear during all those slo-mo replays Sunday.
              Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
              And someone else said "Never mind!"

                That's why I want to hear from someone who taped/tivo'd/dvr'd the game.
