"The Push Off"


Recommended Posts

old, you would be the one leading the "fuck the back judge" if the roles were reversed...

and yes, most people agree that he was touching jackson, but he didn't gain an advantage from it... even this segment (which hardly ever not back up their fellow refs, considering he said that justin smith's penalty was a valid one) said that he wouldn't have made the call.. for him to say that is the equivalent of him saying "that was a bad call"...

but he will never, ever come out a say that...

who really cares though? we finally caught a break, but it does annoy me to know that the same people defending this call are the same that would be calling for heads if the roles were reversed and we felt that we got screwed on a call that changed the outcome of the game...

i wish they wouldn't have called it, so we could have watched carson light up that defense and win the game in the final seconds... but a win is a win is a win... so who really cares now?

I doubt it. Because the Bengals would have surely scored if given a fresh set of downs at the 5 yard line.

Like you said, he said the call against Justin was a good call.
We all know that`s not the case.

He said it was a judgement call, and he said Heap pushed off.
A reciever pushes off to gain an advantage.

Wait, if the Back Judge hadn`t thrown the flag, the Ravens would have tied it up,
with about 2 minutes left for Carson to drive down for a winning score.

I don`t think that flag "changed" the outcome.

Then why are you arguing about it ?

well that wouldn't exactly be "reversing the roles" then, would it?

agreed it was a shitty call... but the point (that you jumped right past) is that he NEVER says anything even remotely close to "i would not have called it"..

if you watch the play in regular speed, he didn't "push" off, he simply had his arm on jackson... if your logic is on, how could he say that he pushed off but didn't get any advantage by it? its not the refs logic that is off on this, its yours...

tying the game up with something like 2 minutes to go wouldn't have changed the outcome? not for sure, but the ravens would have had an opportunity to change the outcome...

slow day at work :)

That play didn`t lose the game for the Ravens.

It`s a judgement call. In his judgement it wasn`t OPI.
He has shown poor judgement in the past.

What the fuck are you talking about ?
It`s my logic and the Ref that threw the damn flag`s logic.

It`s not the logic of this asshat that said the call on Justin was a good call
and you.

The dude in that video posted plainly stats at the end, that Heap pushed/warded off Dexter.


Also, I watched the play in regular speed several times.
At first I thought the call was questionable . . .

[quote name='oldschooler' post='544463' date='Sep 10 2007, 11:23 PM']That call on Heap was questionable. But they had 4 chances from the 5 yard line
to make up for it.[/quote]

I think the call on Heap was less questionable than the call on Madieu was . . .[/quote]

The outcome was a Bengals win. So no, tying it up, and giving Carson the ball with
2 minutes left wouldn`t have changed that outcome . . . IMO.

Slacker.
