Stewart wasn't down!

[Brooklyn Bully]

If they replay it on NFL Network, I'll try to pause it where I saw it and take a snap shot of it. I'll gladly admit I was wrong if I am.

You can tell his elbow touched the ground, there's no way it didn't. His entire forearm hit the ground.

But there was no actual evidence, and imo definitely not enough to overturn it. Tough call.

unbelievable. someone needs to lose a job over this. how do you blow a call that badly? a call that was reviewed and not simply made on the spot?

unless there's something we're ALL not seeing, which is unlikely, i have to imagine rivera is gonna be on the phone with the league getting this reviewed through whatever channels possible. the zebras owe us one.

I think the elbow slammed into the ground .. but also think the elbow making you down is bullshit .. back .. ass .. stomach .. knee .. face ... thats all that should make you down in my opinion

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Yeah there was no reason for that called to be taken back. I through my cat across the room for that. She hasn't forgiven me :(

But at the end of the day, we won and that play doesn't matter at all. It could have mattered, but it doesn't matter.

You think? I've watched it plenty of times and I have yet to see a single frame that shows his elbow down. Someone please post this frame because otherwise, there's no possible explanation. And afaik, the ref doesn't have angles that aren't shown on TV.

The reason I know he was not down was because he burst back up, and started trucking. I did not see any evidence to overturn the call, so I would have been less upset if they had ruled him down in the first place. Because they didnt, and the fact that we gave up a touchdown in 30 seconds and in 2 plays.. made me fired up. But we won, so I moved on.

The "fulcrum" could have just as easily just been his hand. We've seen him do it before. No evidence of his elbow hitting the ground. I also was furious when it happened, but since we won it's not as big of a deal. It should still be sent to the league office though. There wasn't a shred of evidence that his elbow touched, just the possibility since it was close to the ground and he made a great play of it.

I also agree that an elbow touching shouldn't make someone down.

I just rewatched it in semi-slomo on iTunes Follow Your Team and it looked to me that his elbow was on the Jags guy's thigh and he leveraged himself with his hand.

Dear NFL, for the benefit of Huddlers and Panther fans worldwide, could you please pony up the indisputable visual evidence in question? Thanks.

BTW, Rivera said in his post-game interview his elbow was down...didn't make much of it.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

could you please pony

Yes!

[coralreefer_1]

Probably a day late and perhaps already been said (no , I didnt read 90+ posts)

But really...get over it! Was he down...maybe. Was that the decision of the refs....certainly!

Game moves on...we barely nudged out a win, but a win none the less.

/end

Just saw a replay from another angle on nfl.com, and his elbow never hit the ground. Like I said, it's like the refs took one look at it and said

derp no way this happened herp, we shouldn't let such an impossible play stand, this guy's name isn't even chris johnson no way he did it herp derp herp

NFL robbed Stewy of one of these greatest plays we'll ever see in our lifetime.
