    Surprised that Vrabel didn't challenge Hooker's INT

    Allen himself admitted in the presser that this game he was a bit off early on. That play is one of them.

    The announcers showed after he got the second toe down he bobbled it right before he hit the ground.

    agreed- it looks like the one end of the ball hits the ground. It was a hell of a play but he never had full control. Josh got away with one there.

    Not surprised. It clearly hit the ground.

    Not sure why we are rehashing stuff like this when the Bills just destroyed the #1 seed from last year after destroying the superbowl champs.

    there is another view right in his face, and you can see the ball CLEARLY hit end first on the ground, and bounced, it wasn't a catch.

    I'm more surprised McD went ahead and challenged the catch on Titan's first drive.

    Re: Surprised that Vrabel didn't challenge Hooker's INT

    With the new rules, that was close to an int. The ball is allowed to hit the ground as long as he has full control of it, which he did


    The problem is when his second foot came down, there wasnt full control of it. A tiny bobble


    But the ball touching the ground doesn't matter anymore because it didnt move
    Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions

    It was inside 2 mins of the first half. Would have to be called from upstairs Vrable had no say.

    i'm not, the review shown on tv didn't show the toe drag, and from what i hear about from people in the stadium, neither did the jumbotron review.

    i mean it's obviously a catch when you have the right angle but with TV and the stadium showing different angles i'm not sure what else he's supposed to do, unless the team has access to other angles.

    Who was responsible for him to even consider it.

    He has tons of room for improvement and so do the staff that advised such an obvious wrong decision.

    That type stuff has to stop ..... i don't mind challenging process but that one was clearly a catch.

    How about when he called the timeout when Josh had drawn them offsides.

    Not good.
