4th down spot

It absolutely was reviewed and adjusted by replay. The official explained that.

 

That is incorrect. The ref made the announcement that the player did not make the yardage needed to pick up a first down. It was reviewed

 

This.

 

I think the Najee(non) Td was pretty bad. I believe He crossed the line. I was wanting a challenge.

 

I have less and less trust in the review process. How many times has a play been so obvious that the announcers and the "rules specialist" agree it will be overturned, only to have a "Call stands".

If indeed this was reviewed and adjusted, it was done terribly. The placement of the ball was nowhere near what the replay showed (which was at least one foot or more from the line to gain). The subsequent measurement was barely short an inch (the referee seemed to look at it a long time). A proper review should have told them to move the ball back a foot, skip the measurement, and give the keys to Ben.

 

How could anyone who watched the game possibly not know this?

List of reasons:
Bathroom break?
Beer run?
Blinded by hatred of Tomlin?
Mad cause we were going to win?
Posting on the board and not paying attention?

 

No clue. But you're correct they did review it and it was obvious it was not a first down. Haden locked that dude up!

 

They measured with the ball placed at the original spot by the officials. Then they reviewed the play and determined that the ball was no were close to a first down so no need to measure again. They spotted the ball at the ten yard line and the Steelers took a knee.

 

Yes He did.
We are a different team with Haden. Even at His age.

 

This is exactly what they did.

 

My apologies if they did move the ball from the original spot. It appeared that they did the measurement at the original spot where it was an inch short, and I thought that they left it there. From a 'results' point of view, even that is fine since it was short and the Steelers took over. My concern is only in the hypothetical - if that spot was one inch closer to the goal line, and review did not have them move it back, it becomes a different ball game. Just harping over nothing really since in this case, all turned out well.

 

There was little chance they wouldn’t automatically review a spot that close to the marker with the game on the line. Even if it was an inch closer they still would’ve reviewed it and moved the ball back. It was way too obvious.

 

I don’t know about intentionally. But weeks ago during a college game I made note to my wife how the ref spotting the ball wavered as he ran out onto the field. I saw that repeatedly today, but I’d don’t see bias one way or another. Just random inaccuracies.

 

Haden's tackle was brilliant whether he was cognizant of what he was doing or not. First, he wrapped the receiver up so he couldn't stretch the ball. Secondly, he went down to his knees which gave him the added leverage needed to stop forward progress. It was a fine football play.

 

Why in today's game we go by a chain for measuring blows My mind.
What other job in the world would You use a chain for a measurement???
So many things wrong with the whole setup. IMO.

 

It was brilliant, and that Heads up dive for a pick earlier. Those are the things We miss while He out.

 

The Sideline ref on the top was just too slow. By the time Haden has stopped forward momentum, the ref had just started to move.....

 

Mine. When we anchor somewhere. Chain don't stretch....

Even better, one of the Titans was whining about officiating after the game. WTF?

Specifically, he didn't think the hit on a defenseless Freiermuth was a penalty. He also had a problem with the interference in the end zone that set up Roethlisberger's touchdown, never mind that the defender grabbed Claypool throughout the route and had his arm as the ball arrived.

 

Hmm. In mine(Job) We always had 2 change chains every six months because of stretch in the chains. Different Job,and different uses.

 

You yank your chain so much it stretches? wow

 

Had the Titans got that snap off, the league would of been in a really bad place this morning.

 

When I saw that ref move forward I tried going through the TV to kick his ass. If somehow that would have been given to Tenn. I'd have given up on the NFL and wrote some nasty letters to them.

 

I wouldn't brag about that if I were you. Not a good look.

 

3 and 4 would be my guess
