haha, good call out, i don't, caught it on yahoo sports the other day. yeah.....i think the reviews can get crazy because they're not necessarly just reviewing stuff around the goal line...say you break an 80 yard TD, they can review the entire play and catch something that a coach may not have even been thinking about. you may be better off falling at the one yard line so it's not reviewed.

about this play....if calvin johnson's catch in the end zone was not a catch because he did not maintain control through the entirety of the play, then this shouldn't be a TD either. what a bonehead. he even had the audacity to say he didn't know how deep he was on the end zone....umm, you can't see the big white line! hahaha

A couple weeks ago this was Challenged by the Bucs coaches, they got a 15 yard penalty for challenging the play

I guess since scoring plays are already reviewed, if you challenge a scoring play it is unsportsmanlike penalty.

The play from NFL.com

(8:47) 7-C.Henne pass deep right to 19-B.Marshall for 60 yards, TOUCHDOWN. PENALTY on TB, Unsportsmanlike Conduct, 15 yards, enforced between downs. The 15 yard penalty will be added on to the kick off The Replay Assistant challenged the runner was in bounds ruling, and the play was Upheld.

What If Sports predicts the Giants to go to the Super Bowl!

I know its all simulations, but its usually accurate and this just pumps me up even more for the season!!!

did anyone mention the peyton manning mess? I'm too lazy to look. Now the Colts are even saying its doubtful that he'll play. I feel bad that the streak is gonna end, but also happy because that'll mean Eli has the longest current streak

i just ran into this....it shows eli at 13th longest current streak. i guess eli does have the next longest QB streak.

anybody think the bucs will win the south?or the rams out west? and with all the giants problems,is there really anyone who thinks they're superbowl bound? the nfc north has to be considered the best division.........something else to consider-a lot of players involved w/negotiations and league suits were in suits and ac all spring. Will it affect their focus on the field?

 

[Spartacus]

Yeah I'd like to predict the Eagles to win, but it always seems teams with that many FA moves end up failing. The Giants though seem to have a bit of injury bug. Still this should be the number one and two teams and both playoff contenders.

This is somewhat of a contradictory statement,Brian.Go with your instinct.Dont let emotions cloud your judgement.dont let the qb situation distract you. Right now,who has the best offensive line in the division?

WHO CARES IF YOU HAVE ALL DAY TO THROW IT IF YOU HAVE NO ONE TO THROW TO OR YOUR QBs (yes that's plural) suck!

Let's see,the qb-cant throw with no protection.rb-cant run with no blocking.recievers dont have time to run patterns.Every qb will look bad with no protection."Sorry"qb's all of a sudden look good when they have time.It's a team sport and most of them are in fact linemen.duh!
