Did anyone else think we were actually dumb enough to spike the ball on 4th down?

I thought it was 4th due to the broadcast when we spiked it and frankly after the way that game was going I was sure we lost the game by spiking it on 4th down... I temporarily lost my poo and started throwing things before realizing they called it a 1st...

 

Oh and also, DJ Moore is clutch. Huge catch on that drive.

We were lucky that was called a first. It's bad a team has to rush and down it without knowing if it was a first or not. Refs need to blow the whistle and measure if they aren't sure. Looked like the refs were still gathering after the spike talking about it.

CMC went down on the line so I was positive it was a first. I was pissed when the graphic said 4th and 1 since the ball was spotted a half a length over the yellow line. I know that line isn’t official but they aren’t usually that far off. I didn’t think we needed a measurement but was surprised they didn’t call for one.

Yeah, the pace of the game was too fast for "Booger" and his shoddy crew to keep up.  I guess rather than stop the clock to asses the spot, and piss the Giants off for giving us a free time out, they let the game play on.  I heard the TV announcer say first down so an official must have signaled it right away, giving Cam the green light to spike it.  If they indicated first down and we spiked the next play to stop the clock, I don't think the replay official could have buzzed down by then.

All that being said, I still lost my freaking mind when they called a running play with no time outs in that part of the field.  I get that CMC could have broken one and the Giants would have never seen a run play coming, but time being what it was, I lost my poo.

You know Rivera's dumb ass probably like "just like I drew it up".

I heard the announcers say 1st down but then they had the graphic still there and I got scared as poo before calming down and thinking no one could be that stupid then freaked out again when I realized we could be that stupid and it would definitely be the Panthers to do some poo like that.

It might have won the C'mon Man of the year award.

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
