Moorhead commented on fumble review

[CoastRat.sixpack]

When the tv broadcast came back from halftime, they went to the female field reporter who said she asked Joe why he didn’t challenge the fumble call, and that he responded that his guy in the booth saw it and told him the AL player was down. Go listen if you recorded it.

Take it for what you will, because any other game in the country gets stopped there, without relying on a coach to raise hell.

While I agree that any other game would have been reviewed I also feel Joe probably felt like he pushed the boundary a little by cussing-out the side judge so he probably didn’t want to rock the boat. I’m sure Cohen told him at half-time to plead forgiveness and keep his head tucked down the rest of the game.

That wasn’t a easy call for our booth. They have to see that one angle at slow motion.

I dont think the TV broadcast showed a conclusive replay until after the next play was ran.

 

[Shamoan]

No, they showed one well prior to the snap that was conclusive. Brent was calling for the t.o. For a good 8-10 seconds before ball was snapped.

 

[Seinfeld]

That’s awful. His booth guy should have at least recognized that it was close enough to call a TO so that both he and the booth officials would have time to take a few more looks. If he definitively told Moorhead that the knee was down, then his booth guy failed at his job

From the naked eye it looked close enough to get a review. Unbelievable the game wasn't stopped for a review.

 

[Seinfeld]

Correct, they showed it at least once we’ll before the snap, and then they slowed it down and paused it after the next play had been run. It is beyond my comprehension as to how the entire viewing audience around the world saw something to question the call, but the officiating crew in the booth miraculously saw nothing to make them think that it might be worth another look.

Hadad and Joel can joke about the conspiracy theory all they want next week, but this crap happens year after year, and it’s sickening

It was the first half. Call a time out

 

[vandaldawg]

They did. It was clear. Even danielson was all over it. He was all over the phantom block in the back call. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. We whiffed on not calling the timeout. You have to right there. Period.

Reminds me of the time back in the 1960’s that we played Bama in Tuscaloosa. The head coach called up to the press box and demanded to speak to the receiver coach. The coach that replayed advised that “he has gone to get hot dogs”. The coach that answered the call later explained that the receiver coach bought 2 hot dogs, but that he ate both of them. I have heard that the dogs in Tuscaloosa are pretty good so perhaps that is what happened to our replay guy. BTW, you can read about this in “the Maroon Bulldogs” , a hard back book published back in the 1970’s. It is a pretty good book if you like being depressed......

Get a new booth guy.
