MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2007 What I can't understand is how is this supposedly not reviewable? It makes no sense if that's the rule that you can't review a field goal attempt. But I guess the referees are allowed to discuss it and reverse their call without review. And it's been reversed, overtime. The refs are absolutely screwing the Ravens over royally..between this and a "Replay booth malfunction" If they can't review it, then they certainly cant spend 10 minutes discussing it to change the call.

The stupid fact is its being mentioned the fucking refs looked at the replay when it wasn't a reviewable play. I hope somebody in the organization has a fucking spine and files a complaint to get this win overturned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My real point is that one game means nothing in terms of comparison. You're better off comparing the overall careers so far, and right now, just by the team's success and how he broke out last year, I think Bush has the edge right now. Let's not forget though, HMW's only reason to make that comment was because he hates USC and I guess he thinks even a DE that was overdrafted makes for a better pick than Reggie Bush, however true that might be.

JaMarcus Russell's #1 Caucasian Fan 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2007 The refs made the right call in this case here. The ball did go through the uprights, which is a field goal if im not mistaken. If you see the replay, the ball goes through th uprights before it bounces off the post. I dont see how this was a bad call at all. It was a field goal wheter Ravens fans admit it or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, the point is that for the last two years, every time Williams has a bad/mediocre game and Bush has a decent/good one, ESPN (and others) take a ton of snide comments at the Texans about that draft. Had Bush ran wild today and Williams done nothing, do you not think the media would have been all over it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many times do coaches attempt to challenge a play only for the refs to come on their little mic and say "The play wasn't reviewable" and play carries on whether or not the right call was made. If the Refs can ignore the reviewability of the play, then why even have rules about what plays can be reviewed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2007 Well, if it wasn't reviewable, the ref shouldn't have even gotten any pictures under the hood, so I'm inclined to question whether or not the play was in fact reviewable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2007 In non-Ravens news, the Giants beat Detroit 16-10 and are now 7-3. Game was sealed on a pick by James Butler in the endzone, and after a 3 and out, a pick to end it by Sam Madison. Jacobs left with a pulled hammy, and the offense went to shit afterwards.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2007 Ravens fans have every right to be pissed right now. Side note..I dont think the Ravens org is going to push the issue like they should, Billick gave his press conference and didnt mention anything about it. I Figure he's past the point of caring anymore given he's as good as gone at the end of the season. They're pretty much well on their way to a 10 game losing streak after starting 4-2. Shame 4-12 probably wont even get em a top 5 draft pick this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
