Olsen's fumble - review


Blackmagic

Recommended Posts

All turnovers should be reviewed. But why wasn't Greg's fumble not reviewed? It wasn't clear cut.

I don't think that he caught it and made a football move. Looks that he starts to lose it as he moves.

You can't challenge turnovers, but the refs should've double checked.

The booth reviews and then signals the refs if they think review was necessary; apparently, the booth agreed with the call. It was definitely a catch and fumble in my opinion, but who knows how things may have turned out given the crazy interpretations of the catch rules this year.

Yeah ultimately I think that was a fumble, though a really weird one.  I wonder if Greg was wearing some defective gloves or some poo, cuz he almost lost the ball when he "tucked" it on his game saving 4th down conversion catch too.  But hell, we persevered through all the bullshit, both the self-inflicted variety and the not.

Yeah that was the correct call unfortunately.

Really the refs were pretty even for the most part yesterday. We got away with a few. So did the Saints though.

That Stewart fumble pissed me off, but looking at all the angles, there just wasn't enough to change that call.

If you have to slow it down to 10% of the original speed to make it look like a fumble, IMO it shouldn't be a fumble. Calvin Johnson can catch a ball, go to the ground, take a nap, eat a snack, then get up and lose the ball, and it's incomplete. But that's a catch? Sorry, doesn't pass the sniff test.

Virtually every other play like this in 2015 has been ruled an incompletion.  I personally think it was a catch and fumble but the NFL is totally inconsistent in their rulings on these.

I think we should have challenged it.

Right, all year the NFL has called that an incompletion.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
