Refs let them push the pile far enough to get the first, then decided to blow it dead before he fumbled. At least I think they blew it dead...

We could not challenge. That's what makes this worse. The booth didn't even review it.

basically the chiefs either stopped or recovered a fumble. refs didn't call play dead before fumble, but then said that SD got the first down because of their forward movement (despite the fumble).

coaches can't challenge during OT so that was that.

They didn't even blow it dead...no whistle. They just decided (very quickly, I should add) after we stripped the ball and scored.

I've gone back and watched it 4 times. There is no whistle blown until Grey ran into the end zone. They let the play go, we ended up in the end zone, they ruled he had the first down but no replay was made to see if he fumbled. Complete screw job, more from the booth than the refs. The refs did their job, missed the call, but let the play go until the very end. They made a ruling and then no review after we ran out of the pile with the ball. Unbelievable, never seen anything that blatant not be reviewed.

Bullsh*t. The whistle wasn't blown until after Grey ran into the endzone. They are saying that now to cover their ass. Very little explanation by the referee given at the end, and the replay officials sat on their hands and didn't ask if it was forward progress or down by contact.

Screwjob. His progress wasn't stopped, he was stripped, and for no good reason his progress was deemed stopped. There were no whistles and the booth chose not to review it for no apparent reason.

Either his progress was stopped or it wasn't. There was no whistle because his progress hadn't stopped. They just decided to stop the play once he had a 1st down.

It was joke and really makes me wonder about how something like this could have happened.

I haven't gone back and watched it, but if his helmet came off then it was dead from when it came off.. If we stripped it after it wouldn't have matter. But the fact is that NO whistles were blown. He WAS getting pushed forward so the strip was legit as was the TD.. The play should have been reviewed to see when we gained posession as upposed to when his helmet got ripped off (if it did i don't exactly recall).... It was a fuckup by the refs and the replay booth to just say he reached the line to gain and not review the TO.

Just the wrong call, no other way to put it.

I was listening on the radio and thought maybe it was close - the radio guys didn't make a big deal of it.

Watched the replay when I got home and the officials flat out fucked it up. There's no other way to put it - the Steelers are playing golf because the officials missed what appears to be a pretty straightforward call.

In the end, that's probably better for KC because Rivers is hard on the Broncos and they'll get get Denver in the 2nd round if they advance, but still - the Refs absolutely screwed the Chiefs and by extension the Steelers there.

It looked like bullshit but the truth is it didn't matter.

If the Kicker does his job, the game is over with a W from the 2's.

With no depth left, and playing special teams it was obvious the guys were exhausted.

I don't really care how it ended up, it was an exciting game, gave some hope for the depth players talent and doesn't change anything.

The Starters will come back next week and push the shit into the Colts.

Give me a break, you can hear the whistle blown plain as day after Grey ran into the end zone. If they were calling forward progress being stopped they would have continued to blow it while Grey was running down the field. No whistle was blown before he scored, there is zero question about it.

You're right, Succop missed a kick he should have easily made. If he makes it, none of this matters.

But if he needs to do his job right, which he does, then is it unreasonable to expect the refs to do their job correctly as well?

Definitely. If San Diego can get by the Bengals, the Broncos will be shitting themselves.

Before the game, they said the Chargers were 1st in drives of 10+ plays, TOP, and 3rd down percentage. That is the perfect recipe for beating a Manning-led team. They'll just need some clutch stops by their defense like they did a few weeks ago in Denver and they can steal another W.

Disagree. The ball was being fumbled, but we did not have the ball when Weddle's helmet came off. Dead ball, whoever has possession at the time maintains possession. SD ball. Sucks, but true.

I've gone back and watched it 4 times. There is no whistle blown until Grey ran into the end zone. They let the play go, we ended up in the end zone, they ruled he had the first down but no replay was made to see if he fumbled. Complete screw job, more from the booth than the refs. The refs did their job, missed the call, but let the play go until the very end. They made a ruling and then no review after we ran out of the pile with the ball. Unbelievable, never seen anything that blatant not be reviewed.

I just did the same, and I have to stop watching it, it would take an NFL official to come up with what happened vs. what the final outcome was. The guy with the best view of it all doesn't blow the whistle, and starts following the Chiefs as he thought it was a fumble. So I can't tell you how the play ended with the final ruling because whichever official said he was "down" sure as hell never bothered to blow his whistle.

The key to me is that no whistle was blown, that means the play was live. and with officials, especially one of the ones with the best view of "forward progress" or "helmet off" takes off after the recovered strip, it's just wrong.

And I think I've heard that forward progress isn't challengeable. Well I'd like to understand what "challenging the spot" is then...

I feel like the ref decided forward progress stopped just before the helmet came off and the strip happened. Then he decided to spot it at a first down. I have no idea how he knew where to spot it, he basically just decided it was going to be a first down regardless of what happened. That spot has to be reviewable. Is there a difference between an upstairs review and a challenge?

players go until the whistle blows but refs can just randomly make up any shit they want?

Exactly. They really can. Did it not just happen?

We can't challenge a play in overtime, sir.

A rule that I wish to be changed to each team getting one challenge in OT.

I just chalk it up to the refs being old blind and stupid.

I don't care what he decided ... the whistle DIDN'T blow before the strip.


Leavy screws us constantly and HE DECIDED that san diego should win.

The good news is, I think, his gay ass is fucking gone. and if there's any justice, if he was going to call the super bowl, THAT play keeps him from it. But in usual "fuck Kansas City" fashin, THAT play will be what the league does to teach the world a lesson about questioning their minions and give it to him.

Well, I'm not seeing us in "that" game, so if Fuck Face wants to fuck us one more time, he'll need to ask for the Indy-Chiefs game to do it. And if he does, I hope somebody drills him in the dick with the nose of the football at some point, then tell him it's not reviewable.

I am on your side, but what does the whistle blowing have to do with anything? All they have to do is say they meant to blow the whistle and the play was over.

The refs can't go back after letting the play go to the end and say forward progress is stopped. It's a right then and there call, and if it is made, whistles are blown. They didn't make that call at the time, they are saying they did now to cover up the fact they screwed up by not going to replay. It would be equivalent to a QB being "in the grasp, momentum stopped", but letting the play go and having the QB fumble and defense score and then go back and make the in the grasp call. Refs aren't supposed to let the play go until the defense scores and then go back and say he had progress stopped. If you make that call the play has to be blown dead.

I totally agree. But it just happened. All the ref has to do is say the whistle fell out of his mouth or some other bs

Should have been reviewed from upstairs. They didn't even look at it.

For what it's worth, Pittsburgh deserves the apology!

As far as I am concerned if the league decides to write a "we screwed up" letter, they can just go ahead and send it to Pittsburgh and not KC.

I don't understand why the officials wouldn't just let the TD occur and then it would have to be reviewed since it was a scoring play. They are supposed to let it play out like that.

Don't you know? Forward progress is only forward progress until the exact moment the runner reaches the first down marker. Then it's automatically dead.

Again, in there morning meeting, the gathering of NFL officials will simply laugh about this blown call, claim it actually wasn't "blown", and compare "fuck job" stories from each of the other games.

All plays can be reviewed in OT by the NFL replay officials if they deem it necessary..

The only reason you wouldn't review a call where a spot might have been wrong by inches and where there is a legit question about a fumble is pure arrogance.

what is the point of having review if you are not going to review obvious reviewable calls? :spock:

NFL has already come out and said they screwed up the two calls. The fumble/first down and the field goal.

In related news, the NFL's front office has purchased a new printer for printing apology letters for officiating mistakes.
