I don't understand how they don't have a camera system for this though.

They usually do, don't they?

It looked like it was worth reviewing but the Pats can go die in a fire so who cares?

you better back down

 

[I H8 Memes]

The ball in that shot is already past the uprights. People really think that kick wasn't good?

it looked wide to me during the live camera shot last night. It only looked good on the replay shots that came after and those were all from a camera to the right of the goal posts. Unfortunately they didnt show the straight on live shot again before the game ended.

 

[Goro Majima]

I dont think its reviewable though.

It probably isn't. I've never seen it happen but you never know, Ed Hochuli might change his mind some day.

I thought there was always a camera that looked straight up though.

 

[nateeasy]

Hmmm (from the video with a quick photoshop addition of an extended goal post)

No clue where the ball actually crossed over thought, but every frame I see the ball is just slightly right of the end of the pylon, meaning no good by NFL Rules.

I'd like to see a view from directly behind it. Not from this weird angle

 

[Spectral Glider]

The ref isn't even standing under the upright. How can he tell where the ball is.

I don't understand how they don't have a camera system for this though.

There's two refs under each upright actually. What's weird is they do have a camera right there on the cross bar but for some reason there was no shot from it for that kick. Suppose that's an NBC issue.

 

[Futurevoid]

Giants fan only, too much time involved following other sports, can't do it, plus i rather be letdown by one team, than 4 every year, don't know how some fans can be crushed 4 times a year...

Woe is the life of us Giants fans with those two Lombardi's in five years. Imagine being a Browns fan!

First world problems.

 

[jmdajr]

I had a cowboy/Yankee/tar heel/laker fan coworker a few years back. Awful.

ewwww

 

[captive]

I have no vested inteest in it one way or that other honestly, though when it was shown on TV i thought it missed. Its way too close to call, so I'll always defer to the guy standing right under the pylon. but its still fun to dissect it

I have no vested interest either, would have prefered both teams lose since they are AFC. And it looked no good to me. /shrug.

I don't understand how they don't have a camera system for this though.

even worse, if it doesnt go through the uprights its NOT reviewable, if it goes through the uprights it IS reviewable. Makes zero sense.

 

[LyleLanley]

This. People can look at the replays all they want but the fact of the matter is, no replay angle will beat the view of the dude standing right under the post.

Couldn't that be easily fixed with more cameras?

For week 7 plz

I was looking at the schedule, and noticed the Jets' short week is Thanksgiving against the Pats after being on the road in St. Louis. Something tells me that's not gonna end well.

 

[Futurevoid]

@BScalabrine24

The #Jets should use Tim Tebow at CB to replace Revis because no one does a better job of keeping the ball away from receivers than Tebow

:jnc

EDIT: Schefter confirms league is looking into Belichik/Shannahan situations with the refs along with John Harbaugh.

 

[Pagusas]

how do they do the ball tracking thing in Tennis where they can instantly see where the ball hit on the court to contest if its out of not? Can the same system be done in the NFL?

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Of course it can, which can also allow for a review. But with what they have now is what I was referring to.

I wanted to get tickets to that Thanksgiving game. But given the recent play of the Jets, I don't think I can pay 200 bucks to watch their ass get kicked by the Patriots.

I hope all Giants fans can recognize that this is a golden era for us. I've been following the team since about 1995, had some awful times.

They can't get the original refs to agree to the current terms the NFL is proposing much less this idea.

It's a system called Hawk-Eye. They're actually going to be testing it out for baseball at Citi Field next year. We'll see where it goes from there.

Cameras in the top of the goalpost! Or lasers that go off when something hits it.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

What I find sad is that he was that close to missing on such a short field goal. That was way closer than it ever should have been.

Speaking of kickers, again I would like to ask: WHY CARPENTER!? WHY!?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

The timeout almost worked!

That was nothing. 60/70 giants were worse than Millen's lions.

Whats worse is he nailed it the first time when Billy Bellicheaks called the TO

Can you imagine if it was called no good? Billy Cundiff would probably be somewhere laughing his ass off.

Regarding last night's game -

Really bothered me when Collinsworth congratulated Torrey Smith for having a great game as if that was any consolation for losing his baby brother.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Well

NFL - Broncos
MLB - Yankees
NHL - Rangers
NBA - Usually follow players, never had a team Right now is Kobe, not highly invested in NBA, I wait till the Finals to watch NBA seriously, unless some great drama gonna happen to certain teams/trade

That's not as bad as Ray Lewis saying the Lord made it happen and so they had to come together and get a W.

One mile high goal posts.

Now when Torrey underplays, doesn't perform, watch Twitter go bananas with marks of Torrey needs to lose another sibling/family member to perform

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Baltimore fans that say it!

1988 here.

Fuck Flipper Anderson.

 

[Futurevoid]

Sorry, Colts fans:

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Colts HC john Pagano announced WR Austin Collie ruptured his patella tendon and is out for the year.

 

[GraveRobberX]

By the way NFL, figure out why so many players are losing their helmets, every other play whoops, helmet off

 

[cashman]

I long for the days when being a Cowboys fan means being a front-running douchebag again.

 

[Kave_Man]

I dont think its reviewable though.

Here's the thing though...

I'm pretty sure something similar happened to the Browns last year and they did review it.

I might be making this up though but I'll doublecheck when I get home tonight.

Word.

1986 here. I've had the pleasure of seeing all four Super Bowl victories. Of course I was only 8 at the time of the first so those memories are far hazier than I care to admit. I had the pleasure of attending Super Bowl XXV in Tampa (I lived in Miami at the time).

 

[Alligatorjandro]

That sure was a fun day of football yesterday.

 

[squicken]

Sorry, Colts fans:

eh i'd rather hilton and brazill play than a guy who they were never going to bring back next year. collie's played his last game. he's a FA and no one will touch him with his concussion issues. he should sue peyton for hanging out to dry so many times

 

[GraveRobberX]

Oh Business class add $10
Takes 1 hour 45 minutes

Went to Greyhound (bus)

One Way:

The Fuck!?!

RAIDER NATION BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH

Born in late 1986 here, so the Giants are the winningest football team in my lifetime. Feels good man.

Collie was the man though. He knew he was gonna get destroyed yet he would make those catches anyway.

Doesn't matter, the Jets will sign him. Their offensive LaRon Landry project.

Sorry, Colts fans:

Sorry? It's expected anymore sadly. Guy is just too fragile.

Doesnt' Greyhound charge a fuel surcharge when your checkout that isnt initially shown? Maybe its a different bus that does it, not sure. All I know is I take Amtrak from my town to Chicago all the time. Once I tried using a Bus and the price was way cheaper like you showed here, but once i went through the checkout there was an additional $40 fuel charge!

 

[Cagey]

It's easy money if another team gives him a contract, so I understand the thought process, but at the rate Collie's going you just hope he retires.

 

[GraveRobberX]

I came to America in 1986

My first Superbowl was 1990, fell in love with the Broncos, learned heart break quickly at the hands of Montana and 49'ers

Then Super Bowl 32 & 33 was sweet vindication

Also damn@ Revis gone for the year ouch and what the fuck is Rex wearing with that green splotch Jets shirt, looks so ugly

 

[squicken]

Can't remember who it was but there was a college guy with a history of concussions that just plummeted in the draft. In terms of measurables, concussion avoidance is now a trait. If you have to take a guy out and then sit him for two weeks every time he gets one, then it's Scarlett Letter. It's kind of the unintended consequence thing where players know that they need to do everything they can to avoid a concussion diagnosis
