not when you are planning 2 QB sneaks in a row
you figure it is almost a guaranteed 1/2 to a full yard each time, only need a yard, do it twice. If you get stuffed then their D just played fantastic

in a perfect world, yes
but if the ref doesn’t have a good view, what do you want them to do?
by The JuggerNitt on Nov 7, 2009 4:55 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
The refs make mistakes whether they have replay or not.
I would rather they be decisive and not use replay as a crutch for every close call.
by VVeRPennState on Nov 7, 2009 5:03 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
While I agree that they should call it if they see it
I’d also rather they let there be a second chance with the review if they know they don’t have a good view than to call it dead when it really is a fumble
by The JuggerNitt on Nov 7, 2009 5:04 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I guess we will have to agree to disagree
I think bad calls are a part of the game, and replay doesn’t really change that.
by VVeRPennState on Nov 7, 2009 5:11 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
we definitely disagree on that, then
as replay is better than no replay more often than not. Yes sometimes even the replay has no conclusive evidence, and sometimes they even get it flat wrong (no excuse for that other than incompetence or shady dealings)
But if the situation came down to the ref allowing a play to continue because he didn’t have a good view, or having to make a BS call cuz he’s forced to guess…well I’d rather send it to review
But I guess agree to disagree ;-)
