Quote: kewljThe bad call on the fumble at the 1 yard line didn't matter, as Seattle turned it over with another fumble/botched attempt on 4th down.
So what is the explanation on WHY this situation is not reviewable. So the NFL can give fans something to argue about at work ? Or is it just an example of the kind of decision a committee ends up making ?
Quote: 98ClubsNext year we'll get clarity. Bad Call this year. Not reviewable in the field of play, what utter garbage.
Non-reviewable plays :: The recovery of a loose ball in the field of play.
Most of the time, those plays are just not reviewable because what happens in the dog pile can't be seen.
It was a terrible call. I think the referee knocked into the dog pile was trying to get the play finished to get medics to attend to Bowman. I wonder if his opinion was asked?
Quote: beachbumbabsAll I know is, knees don't bend that way. OOOWWWWwwwwwwww..... I would be shocked if they can rebuild that; the whole bone structure was out of whack and every ligament must've been torn. Poor guy. I relived crushing my elbow seeing that hit.
You got that right. Knees don't bend that way. Two years ago, I slipped on wet pavement here in Vegas (who would have though such a thing). My knee buckled the wrong way and my 160 or so pound came down on it tearing my ACL. I can only imagine that poor bastard, his 320 plus pounds and that of two other players. OUCH!..in a BIG way!

Hey I didn't know you were in the torn ACL club. We are an elite fraternity.

In the club also. Not a good club to be in
Quote: BeardgoatHaha I actually tried to walk it off. I was playing some pickup basketball and when somebody says they tore their acl, well that is exactly what it felt like. It felt like my leg tore in half at the knee. I was down for like 2 minutes then tried to convince myself it was maybe just a sprain. Got up and took a step to walk it off and my leg totally collapsed. I knew then I was screwed.
That sucks. I did mine skiing. I had to take the first aid sled down the mountain and then first aid guy (med student) said he wasn't sure if I had torn anything but to obviously see a doctor when I got home. I could actually walk pretty okay on it and it didn't hurt much at all after the initial shooting pain. I had high hopes it was just a sprain or something. Womp womp.
