Fighting Frankies vs. Buffalo

[clyde40]

Defensive battle through the first quarter. Beau Blankenship really reminds me of Rex Burkhead.

30-3. The Frankies crash and burn. Buffalo scores 23 unanswered in the 2nd half.

 

[GM_Tood]

Worst call ever.

Wow, that was a turrible call. QB was at least three yards into the field of play. WTH refs??

 

[GSG]

Yup. Frank tried to challenge it, but you can't challenge the spot of a foul. Dumb rule.

Isn't there a "catch all" rule for the replay official to weigh in on "egregious" errors by the officials on the field?........

That would make too much sense.

Similar to an NFL game last year (can't remember which) where there was an obvious error made on a play that scored a TD. The coach was so upset that he threw the challenge flag at once. Problem was, under the first-year automatic replay rule, if a coach tried to challenge a play that was automatically being reviewed, not only would they not review the play but they penalized him with an unsportsmanlike flag.

I love it when people who make the rules employ so much common sense. Then again, common sense isn't as common as the name implies.

Agree.

The rationale for my inquiry was I "thought" I heard one of the announcers discussing just such a rule last night. Admittedly, I had the game on in the background and wasn't totally dialed in, but thought they were complaining that this play should have qualified under that egregious category, if it was not reviewable.

And, I had never heard of it before.
