That was one of the stupidest calls I’ve ever seen.

 

[TheContact]

Pats fan here.

How was that not a touchdown?

And why did it then become the Pats ball?

Refs made a weird fucking call can’t explain it

 

[overcast]

The Rams got a similar call last week but that made a lot more sense.

 

[Sanjuro]

Pats fan here.

How was that not a touchdown?

And why did it then become the Pats ball?

He had possession of the football in bounds, then lost possession of it past the pylon.

 

[squicken]

Kraft money

 

[ramuh]

Damn. Shitty call.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Wait wouldn't that be an incomplete? Or his own recovery? It seems way too minuscule man.

no, he was a runner at that point. The ball was loose as he hit the pylon, he didn't have possession when it was back in the endzone on his body, so once the ball went out of bounds it's a touchback.

 

[Milabrega]

This is the worst ref call in the regular season I've ever seen.

 

[shwimpy]

dat German suplex

 

[Sagroth]

I couldn't care less about the Jets, but that is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the worst call I have ever seen from the Refs.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

suplex city!

 

[JABEE]

That’s the worst call I’ve ever seen

 

[Chase17]

Wasn't even the call on the field. It was overturned to that. Inexplicable.

 

[Colasante]

The fumble into the endzone resulting in a touchback rule is terrible enough as it is, but that didn't even actually occur here. Mind boggling.

 

[Rvaan]

None of the Texans DBs can tackle.

 

[Doctor West]

Not a fan of either the Jets or the Pats, but that was an awful call. I feel bad for Jets fans.

 

[Mackenzie 92]

fuck the pats and the refs smh

 

[GitarooMan]

So basically the argument is he didn't recover his fumble fully until he was out of bounds. That's a tough one.

 

[Duxxy3]

I honestly don't know what to say on that Jet's call. To me it looked like a touchdown. From what others are saying, the call was by the rule. Seems like a weird rule to me.

 

[Draconian]

That ruling is straight up trash.

 

[Dante]

That's one of the worst calls I've ever seen in that Jets game.

 

[boiled goose]

Wasn't even the call on the field. It was overturned to that.

Yup. Weird circumstances aside.

Overturning the call is surprising...

 

[overcast]

no, he was a runner at that point. The ball was loose as he hit the pylon, he didn't have possession when it was back in the endzone on his body, so once the ball went out of bounds it's a touchback.

I feel like there wasn't enough evidence he lost it though. Especially for an overturn.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Someone please link a vid of the garbage call when available please lol.

 

[Drakeon]

Jets were robbed.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Good call

 

[BumRush]

Hmmmm...i feel like that's called a touchdown 99.99999999% of the time

 

[Officerrob]

The pinnacle of Kraft money?

Different stakes because it's regular season vs playoffs, but as a Raider fan that was every bit as bad as the tuck rule

 

[Martinski43]

Officials in this game should be held accountable for calls like that

 

[foppy79]

Good call

Gata still heel of NFLGaf

 

[davidwhangchoi]

terrible call. probably will be talked about all day on ESPN

 

[Violence Jack]

Bowles was far too nice. He should be in the refs ear all game long. They’d have to throw me out for that bullshit call.

 

[squicken]

NFL fixing games for New England how shocking

 

[Drakeon]

Garcon is so money.

 

[spyder_ur]

It's a little bit of a silly technicality, but the call is probably correct. He lost control of the ball before the pylon and didn't technically regain possession in bounds. Weird play.

Either way, lucky as hell.

The auto review of scoring plays probably screwed the jets there. Even if they marked him down they would've had it at the 1 and not sure the pats would've thought to challenge on those grounds.

 

[JABEE]

Fixed game in NJ

 

[Draconian]

Officials in this game should be held accountable for calls like that

Aren't they just doing what the replay officials tell them to? That's who's at blame here.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Bill’s checks always clear

 

[ScottSullivan]

wow insane catch by Garcon there

 

[boiled goose]

Different stakes because it's regular season vs playoffs, but as a Raider fan that was every bit as bad as the tuck rule

Lol. Tuck rule just bad rule.

 

[ramuh]

I just don't what to say

Pure fuckery.

 

[GalacticToast]

Tuck rule anyone?

Dont be dumb. That was a good call on a bad rule.

This call though, was a mess.

 

[FTF]

Pats D trying to help Jets out after that call.

 

[Jarate]

This Aikman take smh

 

[foppy79]

HOW WAS HE THAT OPEN

also lol McCown's arm

 

[overcast]

Kearse wide fucking open lmao.

 

[PillarEN]

This Packers game is a real bummer.

 

[Purdy]

Garcon is so money.

Beat me to it.

Bad under throw there given the time, sucks that our receivers are less reactive than the corner

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Sometimes you get calls

 

[Gigglepoo]

I still don't understand why the Tuck Rule was a thing. Why was that even a rule?
