Not Challenging The 4th And Inches Spot

Re: Not Challenging The 4th And Inches Spot

They rarely, if ever, overturn spot calls on challenges. It's not worth doing it because it would have just been a wasted TO. They overturned that one on moorman, but it couldn't have been more clear. Not to mention, it was a full two yards. If the ref spotted it just short of the 1st down marker, maybe only half a yard, they still wouldn't have overturned it.

It would have been brilliance if the penalty hadn't ocurred.

Yes. Due to the fact we called a fake punt that would have worked we ended up punting anyways, thus proving the fake punt was a dumb call.

it wasn't a dumb call because we got a penalty. It's the penalty that was dumb.

I disagree I have seen spots challenged and fixed on many occassions. In this case the challenge is with the spot anyway and the ball was spotted short. If they respot the ball we win the challenge that does not mean we got the first down. You aren't challenging that you got the first down you are challenging where the ball was spotted. You challenge that call and win and they respot the ball in the correct place and then you determine if you got the first down. You won the challenge.

I wondered the same thing. I guess DJ thought they prolly would screw us on that one too. BTW, what a terrible effin spot on that play. There is no way we didn't get that first down.

Re: Not Challenging The 4th And Inches Spot

can someone please explain this to me. I thought that was the game right there and it was very early. I was very upset this spot did not get challenged and then a few plays later a clear catch was challenged. Someone make sense of this travestry of this for me please.

I'll take this one and make it crystal clear. Here goes:

Jauron is a terrible head coach!

Re: Not Challenging The 4th And Inches Spot

I didn't see a good enough camera angle that could have overturned the original ****ty spot. Too many fat guys in the way.

On that play, I would not be giving the ball to my little running back and running the same play that hasn't worked all year. I would have either given it to the fullback or had Trent do a play-action rollout and let him try to beat the defender to the outside. We couldn't do **** running the ball all day so why not try something to the outside that doesn't involve Trent choreographing a run? He needs to improve is "faking ability".

Re: Not Challenging The 4th And Inches Spot

Dick Jauron is the stupidest challenger of calls that I've ever seen. There is no other way to put it. He routinely ignores challenging questionable calls in critical situations.

It pisses me off to no end. The thing that really gets me is that I'm actually shocked each time he does it...or doesn't do it, whatever the case may be. He is NOT doing everything he can to help this team win.

You mean on that 3rd and 1 run play? It's rather sad to use this as an excuse for the loss. Dude! If you can't gain 1 freakin yard on a run, you don't deserve to challenge anything or win a game.
