Can anyone explain to me what happened?

[SLUdog]

How was that not downed?

 

[Bill Shankly]

How was that not downed?

We used to do that in high school. It ain't dead till the whistle blows.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

We got 17ed, that’s what happened.

 

[bulldognation]

Refs ignoring facts and Memphis went all on bush league scoop. Even Mowins was aghast.

What’s more… our own coaches on the sideline act as thought nothing to see here.

Utter defeatist attitudes here in the 2nd half.

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

Yes we got F 17ed

 

[garddog]

Second guy was on a knee with his hand on the ball. It was dead.

 

[Willowdawg]

Black marker bag was thrown and ref was waving play dead. The whole crew should be suspended without pay and made to take the rule book test again after the suspension. I'm gonna apply and if I can get hired. Their obviously hiring anyone.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

No, I don't think our players know the rules

 

[ckDOG]

Got 17ed with a barbed wire ***** and our staff liked it

BLOW IT UP

 

[Jddrew1142]

Neither do the fans apparently.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

What happened is we have an incompetent AD who has made another bad hire and gave Mike Leach $20 Million to take to Key West.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Yes we did and we only got away with it when we had a dumb *** reffing crew

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

The ball IS DEAD when touched by the kick team AND the 17ing ref waved his arms!
Ball is DEAD!!

 

[SLUdog]

If the ref acts as if the play is over.....what should we do?

 

[bulldoghair]

WWE

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

No matter what the rules are if the ref signals the play is dead the play is over... period

 

[PineGroveBully]

Total **** show

 

[Bill Shankly]

Yes we did and we only got away with it when we had a dumb *** reffing crew

Exactly. That is the only kind of crew you get now. You have to act accordingly.

 

[Dawg1969]

i really thought i heard a whistle. Am i alone on this?

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

This crew should be FIRED at 7 PM TONIGHT !!

 

[Bill Shankly]

No matter what the rules are if the ref signals the play is dead the play is over... period

Actually it's the whistle.

 

[PineGroveBully]

Why are refs reviewing play on a screen smaller than most our phones?

 

[Jddrew1142]

Now this would be a screwing from the refs

 

[Cousin Jeffrey]

Actually it's the whistle.

Nope. It’s either. From the rule book:
“A live ball becomes a dead ball as provided in the rules or when an official sounds their whistle (even though inadvertently) or otherwise signals the ball dead.”
