Sometimes they call the wrong number. Was a different Olineman downfield?
I watched play over and over no defensive lineman was downfield

The play that they called Fortner on Illegal player down field was a quick slant. He didn't even have time to get down field because the ball was out fast. It was just another one of many bogus calls. Took away a nice chunk play from Kirk if I remember correct.

True, but u had one corner against fortner and kirk. They should have blown pst him!
Oh Fortner definitely whiffed his block. Should of been a bigger gain.
Exactly I was thinking the same thing That's why I rewind the play... It was a quick slant like one two three there wouldn't have even been time for an offensive player to get down the field..... I'm still furious over the referring in this game.... Still wanting to throw [BLEEP] at the wall.... But instead I just post and drink another beer lol

But it was still a first down regardless of a whiffed block
