Replay system sucks!

[zulater]

First off how the hell did they reverse Brown's catch in the first quarter? Where did that ball ever touch the ground? If the call on the field had been incomplete, maybe I can see where it would stand. But there's no way you can reverse the call on the field with no evidence?!

Now just watching the post game show on the NFL network and it confirmed what I thought to begin with. That is that Wallace's knee never touched the ground, it skimmed it, but never touched! That was a fucking touchdown they took away!! :yell:

The NFL is clueless. The play doesn't stand even when the evidence supports the call on the field!!:frusty:

lol it's easy to say it sucks when it goes against your team. I only saw the 2nd half of the game...damn wrestling meet...but Wallace definitely looked like he skinned the some turf off the ground onthe TD that got called back. Would've been a fantastic play if he stayed up.

Just saw an angle on the post game show that proves his knee never hit.

It doesn't really matter - if his knee even skims the turf, he is down. Tough call, but I can't really argue. And I thought the Brown catch could have gone either way, because from behind him it looked like the ball hit turf, while the one in front of him looked like it hit his front arm then he tucked it into his back arm.

There's no way that Brown catch should have been over-turned. You need indisputable evidence, otherwise you gotta go with the call on the field.

I never saw anything to indicate the ball hit the ground. Still haven't.

I think the ball hit the ground because of his arm's position when he made the catch (wasn't directly underneath). But, you also don't see the ball touch the ground either.

therefore you shouldn't reverse.

As for the Wallace TD, if his knee even skims the grass he's down. It isn't the knee taking a chunk out of the turf, it's the touching of any kind. It was the right call.

The Brown reversal however was bullshit. I didn't see indisputable evidence that the ball hit the ground. Therefore the call on the field of a catch should have been kept. If it was ruled an incomplete pass on the field, I would say there wasn't enough evidence to say it was indeed a catch. The call on the field should have been upheld due to no indisputable evidence.

I guess even the refs don't like Thursday night games. Hochuli had a sub prime night, imo.

[SteelerEmpire]

The refs (and Kemo) [and bad red zone play by Ward, Miller, and Mendy] , on purpose or not, helped to keep the Browns in the game.

On Brown's Catch (and it was a catch), the ball CLEARLY bounced from one hand into the other....unless his hand is the ground, that was a catch.

I agree about Browns catch, but that's not the replay system; that's Hochuli. He's declined as an offical ever since that S.D. @ DEN debacle a few years back.

I disagree with you about Wallace though. The knee was down. Not sure if the rule is clear about grazing the grass vs. mashing into the turf, but that'll get overturned every time.

In all seriousness I wish someone who watched the post game show could make a youtube of the replay I'm talking about. From the angle I'm talking about it really looked as if his knee never contacted the ground, it's was more his knee pad and shin that skidded the grass.

Unless I'm mistaken, that's enough.
