Rules question from Pack/Bears game re: replay challenge
Al started to get into it, but I missed his explanation about why the packers didn't get their timeout back after challenging the spot.
The way I understood it was that if you challenge the spot and they move the ball, you won the challenge. Down/distance shouldn't matter, right? Can someone explain this one to me? In case you missed it, there was a 3rd down play where the Chicago RB was tackled right at the 1st down marker. They measured and he got it by a foot or so. GB challenged the spot and the ref moved it back by about a foot. They remeasured and it was still a first down by the tiniest of margins (the ref nearly had to get on a knee to see). GB lost a timeout even though they "won" the challenge. |

I'm 100% sure I've seen a team get their time out back for that in the past. Either they changed the rule or the refs fugged up.

Re: Rules question from Pack/Bears game re: replay challenge
apparently, the Packers asked incorrectly
they challenged it was a first down they should've challenged the spotting of the ball they lose if evaluated by the first criteria win if evaluated by the second criteria |

This game was rigged with a half dozen bad calls against the Packers, so you can just throw out whatever the rules were supposed to be.

It is standard, stradle the damn LS and rush through A gap. Don't blame the Refs, the NG is the idiot here. |

Re: Rules question from Pack/Bears game re: replay challenge
I missed the play that got challenged. Did they move the sticks to set up for the next play?

Obviously they were challenging the first down via challenging the spot.. Why not alway just say 'we challenge the spot' then? They have to measure for the first either way right? I thought the rules were written such that it didn't matter what you ask because when reviewing the play they are to check every reviewable aspect. Like if you challenge whether some guy's knee was down before he went into the endzone and it turns out he stepped out of bounds 10 yards earlier then you 'win' the challenge and keep timeout.. I think Al Michaels was BSing. I don't believe the 'asked wrong' explanation given how plays are reviewed. |
