This is the type of stuff that replay assist is supposed to review on critical plays......IMO Replay Assist is a complete joke and it's only used to manipulate the outcome of games. It's supposed to be active so that every play is re-viewable and if they determine a penalty was committed they can actually call the penalty upon review with Replay Assist. That is according to the NFL Rules on Replay Assist. It was used yesterday in the Eagles vs Bills game to call a penalty that was not called on a Fair Catch Interference Penalty. So don't tell me the NFL is not RIGGED! This is all the pr00f I need!
I don't know about that. The last I heard was not only do they plan on keeping him around, they also don't intend to recoup any of his bonus.
Gainwell has a guy on him...he maybe 3 yards away but as soon as the QB turns and throws his way he is taking it maybe to the 4 or 3 yard line....then what are you doing? They clock has :18 seconds when that play starts..no timeouts.
JPJ gets a flag from every official. The play was a lot closer in live action and I didn't give it a second thought. You also have to live with these calls when it's one of the best CBs against a WR who shouldn't be in the league.
Yeah I see that too. I don't know what it is, but my guess would be they think the ball is coming out quick. You would think someone would tell them you need to keep working to the side the QB is rolling out to. Weird.
True but even when he is where he is supposed to be it is a crapshoot on actually catching the ball.
Yeah I'm not a conspiracy person, but that just seems impossible to miss. You could tell it in real time easily as well as it wasn't those really close right when the ball gets there plays. It's not just the contact, the turd isn't even playing the ball...mind blowing unless the fix really is in. The ref can't say he was looking to see where his feet are they weren't near sideline or anything else...he's looking only for two things OPI or DPI.......wow.
In didn't notice this is real time. The DB had good coverage and I doubt MVS would have caught the ball anyway, but it is PI. The problem with replay assist is it doesn't create penalties. So if they would have thrown a flag they could have reviewed it. You can not blame replay assist here, but you can blame the rules. I think there are ongoing discussions to expand it, but then you open up another can of worms. It is easy when there are only a few games, but remotely trying to police every game in real time will be difficult. If there is a missed hold or PI not called, by the time they look at it the next play might be have started.
You most certainly can use REPLAY ASSIST to call a penalty! It's a new rule this season....and it happened yesterday in the Bill vs Eagles game....not once but twice! It just goes to show you that REPLAY ASSIST is used to manipulate the outcomes of games! It should have been Pass Interference....it was obvious in real time.....looked even worse when you see the ball in the air vs when Ward made contact with MVS. It should have been a flag!
No, it can only be used to correct penalties that were called, it cannot be used to retroactively call penalties that were missed.
That's how you manipulate an outcome; if that isn't DPI nothing is. This was the whole reason replay assist was implemented. But if they make that call, then there is a chance next week's game is meaningless.
It can't be used for PI at all.
Guess I misunderstood their intent.
Not sure it will be that big a match up. Suspect it will be over by halftime and they will be panning to fans disguised as empty seats.
There were 15-20,000 no shows on MNF in a must-win game for the Steelers and Hall of Honor night. The Browns loss combined with little faith may mean a ton of empty seats form the start. The only thing Pittsburgh hates more than mediocre football is watching mediocre football at night.
