It was called a fumble on the play, too close to overturn IMO. Indisputable evidence needed to overturn a call, remember?
I expect San Diego to be competing with the Texans for a playoff spot, I don't really expect the Raiders to do the same. So I think this loss benefits us. It was pretty clear imo. The ball flew forward 8 yards and he was in the middle of a throwing motion.
I thought the rule was the arm has to be going forward not that he has started his motion? In this case the arm had started its throwing motion but didn't yet go forward WITH the ball. What an insane day in the NFL... Pack lose to Washington Cincy lose to TB Colts struggle at home Charger lose to the Raiders NO loses to Arizona
The motion of throwing a ball is almost entirely forward. The ball came out after it was in front of Rivers head and the ball flew about 8 yards forward.
This game is pretty much the most important of Kolb's career. If he sucks it up on national TV, he may be done in Philly.
NO WAY, the ball came out while he had the ball behind his head and his motion made the ball go forward but was already loose. I'll watch the highlight again to make sure but I am almost certain the ball was already loose before his arm passed his head.
Regardless, I don't agree with the evaluation of the rulle. The process of throwing a football is almost entirely a forward moving action. Well, it leaves both those teams at 2-3 rather than one of them being 3-2. I think that is positive
What a strange day of football. Oakland over SD Arizona over NO Giants taking a huge dump on the Texans Detroit ROUTING somebody let alone winning a game Cowboys choking.....oh wait, that's not unusual ....and just think, MNF this week is going to be insane.
Yet they overturn the Gradowski fumble were it was very similar ? At least they can be fair. Whatever. If the special teams coach isn't fired by tomorrow, I'm not watching one single Chargers game for the remainder of the season. Ridiculous.
really kicking myself in the ass for leaving ray rice on the bench today. started jamaal charles and peyton hillis. Still only down 103-90 he has vernon davis i have brent celek (big td earlier) and the jets defense tomorrow night. Hoping to complete the comeback.
