1) Again, where's the link to their statement? I asked yesterday but you have failed to provide.Time to move on folks.
So if Cooper trips on the 10 yard line and doesn't score, the play become non-reviewable?Yes- that’s exactly what I’m saying. If failure to make the call resulted in an egregious error (touchdown) it can be be reviewed and corrected. That’s literally the rule and you can confirm it yourself by Google search like I did. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it false.
I have seen the call in other games as well, but its been to the returner making a signal that is ambiguous to what has been agreed upon…. That being said. What happened yesterday was more a a logistical fvck up… Minnesota lobbies for the out of bounds review and they can then somehow reoffciate the entire play… not good, bobs. The same reason they cant throw flags after a play for PI… so they set a rather shitty precedent yesterday.Suggest Hawkisoaker donates the $100 to the Children's Hospital. What say you MBPete?
That isn't what happened. The ball was not rolling. It was still in the air.What is this “get away” signal you speak of? Is there a rule that defines what a get away signal looks like? To me, it looks like he was directing his team who all have their backs to the ball to that side. So that would not be a get away signal. Unless, of course, there’s actually something in the rulebook, saying how to do the ”get away” signal.
Maybe that getaway signal is strictly interpretation by the officials? But then again, a review isn’t for interpretation it’s for indisputable evidence.
Something needs to change, its a shitty rule and/or shitty interpretation of the rule. Far too ambiguous IMO. That's why we bitch about it, it won't change the outcome (dems said 2016 was stolen too, nice selective recall on your part) but that rule needs to be looked at so this does not happen ever again. You have to separate that play from our dogshit offense.Wish Republicans were able to accept thw election wasn't stolen too but like this play it won't do any good.
Could care less about the DeJean play. I'm pissed as shit on the offense. Any additional talk about DeJean is wasted air.
He also wasn’t giving a fair catch or the illusive “get away” signal— I thought he was directing his teammates, who have the back to the ball to go to that side.That isn't what happened. The ball was not rolling. It was still in the air.
This doesn't surprise me that you're owning yourself here.Yikes
In fairness, they review every scoring play. So that’s not really up for debate. My issue is that this is determined to be an interpretive call. Reviews are not for interpretation calls they have to be indisputable, black-and-white, calls. You can’t go and review a play and reinterpret an interpretive call. During the field of play, it was interpreted by offense, defense, officials, fans, coaches, that there was no indication of a fair catch.I feel like context is critical and the crew made an egregious error. (nobody gives a f&c! what the B1G office had to say on the issue, as they are just public relations). Given the punt was woefully short, 100% of CDJ's focus was on communicating to his team to keep away, clear the area. At that point, he is 100% not fielding the punt directly from the air. He has not yet ever signaled for a "fair catch," which would require him to wave over his head.
Due to the friendly bounce, he was able to field the punt and every Goofer that was near him does make a play on him and try and tackle him, so no one on the field appears to think it was a fair catch.
It really was not close as it relates to stepping out of bounds, to the point where it probably should not have even been reviewed.
It happened in the UNC game last night!!!!! Watch football games...it happens regularly where a guy waves off blockers, ball bounces to him, and he runs with it.Do they? Because I can’t find any examples of this while everyone keeps claiming it.
You're being purposely obtuse.Uh no- There was no punt return for a TD in the UNC Virginia game.
I’ve seen it a few times every season. Never a penalty until this BS today.
It wasn't a penalty today.
Yikes
This doesn't surprise me that you're owning yourself here.
No it was NOT clear. The view from the front does not clearly show him waving his left arm. It moved some, but was not clearly waving!!!!!!!
Bwhahahahahahaha! You don't even see it! Why? Because you think on a basic level.Tom,
Any reasonable person that reviews the above exchange between you and I can only conclude that you lack intelligence.
For the last time, it wasn't a penalty! Why is this so hard for you to understand?
NO he isn't . You must be blind as a bat. The key word is clearly. The view from behind looks like it. The front view is VERY different.Good grief. He is clearly waving his left arm.
Be honest here.
1) Again, where's the link to their statement? I asked yesterday but you have failed to provide.
2) What would you expect from this weak league? Throwing their officials under the bus? Total CYA, in my opinion.
His odd movements were exactly what I noticed as well. I thought it was odd initially watching it and the play would be dead. I didn't think he could return it after doing so but no whistles came so I was just accepting of it. Not surprised when it came back. I personally think it was the correct call but I don't have any knowledge about reffing really so I'm not a good judge on the matter.While I don’t like the call, for Kirk to call that his natural running motion is silly. I feel like Cooper was pointing with his right arm and basically kind of semi waving guys off away from the ball with his left arm. Can’t believe they called that. But it definitely wasn’t just a natural motion.
Bwhahahahahahaha! You don't even see it! Why? Because you think on a basic level.
What. Did. The. Replay. Official. In. Pittsburgh. Say. It. Was?Tom, it wasn't a penalty. Why are you still asserting it was a penalty?

I'll give you the first letter. It's a "P".
Tom,
Any reasonable person that reviews the above exchange between you and I can only conclude that you lack intelligence.
For the last time, it wasn't a penalty! Why is this so hard for you to understand?
I specifically said a punt return where someone scored which enables a review.It happened in the UNC game last night!!!!! Watch football games...it happens regularly where a guy waves off blockers, ball bounces to him, and he runs with it.
Please show where failure to call an invalid signal resulted in a touchdown.
We’ll wait.
You can’t show an example either so you result to an insult. ClassicDear Lord.
You are not good at logic.
Again, you are using the rear angle. And we have all admitted his arm is moving. However, when you watch the south endzone view you can see those arm movements are NOT as obvious as you keep saying. The arm movement looks much more natural from the front view.
Okay, and you keep telling yourself that the Russian Collusion Hoax and Hunter Biden Laptop suppression are conspiracy theories.Keep telling yourself that.

The point is, when looking at both views it becomes much more ambiguous. Plus Coop has stated he was NOT signalling anything or anyone. Why would he use his back arm if he was signalling teammates in front of him.

Haha did Coop really say that's just how he was running? Oh boy.Plus Coop has stated he was NOT signalling anything or anyone.
LiarDo they? Because I can’t find any examples of this while everyone keeps claiming it.
