But in fairness on the replays in live action it looked like he was ever so slightly out That’s the thing. The overhead view clearly looked like his heel was just out. That’s what the refs had to go on, not this zoomed in image after the fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scine09 Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 This seems to be the same thing as the A.J. Brown TD that they didn’t overturn against Houston last year. IMO both should have stood. There’s absolutely no evidence that he was out. Unless the league saw something that no one else did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLinks Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 And don’t get me wrong, the call to overturn wasn’t all that out of the realm of course. I thought we weren’t in the worst place down 9-24 at the half. That is always manageable Titans rope-a-dope distance. The big thing was not getting hooked and buried too deep like against Pittsburgh and Cleveland last year, making adjustments and not being as predictable on offense. Plus Brown and Jones were not their best versions by a lot, and Julio still had 1 monster half with room to spare for more. That’s crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're telling me if his heel did not come down (meaning only his tip toes touches the ground) and his body landed out of bounds he is in? That is fucking stupid as hell. How can your tip toes be in if you fall out of bounds, but not be in if your heel lands out of bounds? WTF It’s an incredibly stupid rule.

Popular Post Jonboy Posted September 20, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 I'll be honest...I may have to reverse my opinion on this one. Initially I thought his heel clearly hit out of bounds and said as much in the game thread. I don't trust any of the photos because it's so easy for photos to be distorted with the right timing/lighting/angles. Watching it multiple times again on video though, I don't see "inconclusive evidence" that his heel hit out of bounds. Therefore, I think they should've went with the call on the field, which was a TD. IsntLifeFunny, Eighteen, Aramis, and 7 others 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, I think they should've went with the call on the field, which was a TD. There's no question his toes and most of the heel hit in bounds (which is what kicked up the dirt). It's the back end of the heel that looks every so slightly in the white. I get why they ruled what they did given the existing rule but I would not have an issue if the original call stood either. Heck of a catch/effort regardless. oldschool, Jonboy, IsntLifeFunny, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the rub. Nothing conclusive in the replay so if they were being consistent then you go with the call on the field.

Made it seem fairly obvious to me the edge part of the heel was out. On a white shoe, I don't know if you get that clarity. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF It's seems so similar toe a toe drag, I don't see how that's even close to indisputable evidence enough to overturn the call of a touchdown. I still think we got screwed on this call Eighteen 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
