The Jags were NEVER going to get that call overturned no matter what angle they were able to see the play from.

 

You all already know why.

---

I survived the Gus Bradley Error.

The point is moot. The only thing the players can do is hold onto the damn ball and these debates die off..

---

Except the laces stay in a straight line from the beginning of the end zone line all the way through before it moves. What a bunch of dank. If it were the Chiefs it would've been overturned and we all know it. Or if it were the Pats, Cowboys, Steelers, etc...Its become sickening at this point. From the officiating in the GB game to this its just a comedy of errors from coaches to players to owner to refs. I want this nightmare to be over.

We had 4 turnovers yesterday...they had none.

---

Have you seen my baseball?

That was a touchdown. No way spin it. They got it wrong.

---

Looking to troll? Don't bother, we supply our own.

 

 

I think it was a TD but it's that old "incontrovertible proof" thing.  It's the reason that even with replay the refs still get a lot of calls wrong.

I don't know, it looked to me like the ball was leaving his hand before he crossed the goal line.  I honestly don't care anymore.  I slept very well last night.

I hope the day comes when the NFL is confident enough about using microchip laser technology to help make determinations on plays such as this one. 

 

It's more than understandable that Jaguars players and fans thought this play was a TD.  If the call on the field was a TD,  it would have been very difficult to overturn the call.

I was a lot more entertained that I expected to be, but otherwise agree.

 

I was disappointed, but not surprised.  I didn't lose any sleep over the call.  Looked like it was coming loose as he approached the line and there wasn't any good angle to reverse.

I've seen this play be called TD time and time again.

1.) I think it was a TD. 

 

2.) That's why you don't reach for the goal line unless its 4th down!

Microchip laser technology is coming someday, and it is needed.


However, with the type of play that happened yesterday, how does the chip/laser technology prove that Ivory still had control of the ball there? Technology would only confirm the ball crossed the plane, even if Ivory wasn't controlling it at that point.


It looked to me like it was a controlled TD crossing the plane. The incontrovertible issue was the difficult part.

---

Had it been called a TD, it would have remained a TD...but it wasn't called that way.  It is what it is.  Had the Jags not had 4 turnovers and multiple dropped passes, that game would not have been close.

---

Have you seen my baseball?

How many times have we seen Tom Brady reach the ball an inch over the line and then have a defender slap it away - it's always called a TD.  He broke the plane and that's all that matters.

When we're drafting in the Top 5 and have a top notch coach in 2017, we'll thank the refs.

---

On our way to another top 5 pick wooo

Indisputable visual evidence is what they call it. The ball was clearly not moving at all in Chris Ivory's hand when it crossed the goal line. There is no way you can see what CBS did and deny what Gene Steratore needed to overturn the call was there.

There would also be a sensor in the ball to clarify its relationship to Ivory's hand, I guess.
