With the correct calls this time?

are you drunk?

Most likely a Q, but I'm not searching through nearly 3,000 posts to find it. If offended, PM Bob Dole with your complaint.

This article is from September 22 of this year....


Referee Bill Leavy, who was downgraded after a Week 1 mistake, erred again in applying the NFL rule book Sunday.

Leavy and his crew penalized the Minnesota Vikings 15 yards, rather than charge them a timeout, after coach Leslie Frazier challenged their call on a fumble.

NFL rules prohibit coaches from challenging calls on turnovers, scores and certain other plays. Known as the "Jim Schwartz rule" after the Detroit Lions coach challenged a touchdown last season, the wording was re-written in the offseason.

"The ruling on the field was that there was no possession by the receiving player," Leavy said after the game. "Therefore, it was a muffed kick and could not be advanced by the kicking team."

The penalty for challenging an unreviewable play is the loss of a timeout, assuming the team has one. The Vikings had three.

Leavy acknowledged that it was a missed call on the part of the officials.

"A timeout should have been charged instead of a 15-yard penalty," he said.

Leavy set the Vikings up on first-and-25 at the Cleveland Browns' 41-yard line. The Vikings should have had the ball for a first-and-10 at the Browns' 26, with two timeouts left instead of three.

Leavy's crew was downgraded by the league, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, after a series of mistakes in the Week 1 game between the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers.

what's reeruned is 'if' his progress was stopped, it was before the 1st down marker.


horrible call. Those are my favorite "The play was dead' calls in which there was no whistle at all.

Hell we should just probably give Charles the bonus anyways, kind of a "Hey, you're terribly underpaid for your production and you're a beast and we're all in love with you" kind of bonus.

Rewatching on NFL replay that bullshit "dead ball" call on the fake punt in OT was a complete and total farce. The refs blew that bad!

He was SHORT of the first down and the last minute surge got him passed the line but also created the fumble.

I hate how many games the refs have F-UPPED this year to cost wins and losses. Thedy better fix this shit immediately so it doesn't screw the playoffs.

Sure..it's not like it would violate the cap rules or anything.
