Stewart wasn't down!

[flpantherfan32137]

There was no video evidence that clearly proved he was down. Without it according to nfl rules, the play should of stood. I can only imagine the reaction if this call went against the Pats in NE, Jets or Giants in NY, Bears in Chicago. I dont think he would have had the guts to make that call in the black hole up in Oakland. A police escort would have been necessary to preserve life. LOL

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

Thanks for proclaiming the thread closed. You'll have to excuse me if I ignore you.

It's not a matter of his elbow being down or not. It wasn't called down on the field. The video showed no conclusive evidence that his elbow hit. It should not have been reversed. That's the rules.

Anyone got a replay of this somewhere? I missed it.

It's the third video down on the right.

In the last angle they show, you can CLEARLY see his elbow wasn't down.

So Rivera is wrong? Just checking.

[Mr. Scot]

I think Rivera may be the kind of guy that will argue a call during the game, but not after.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Actually yes.

Its not a matter of whether or not the elbow was on the ground. Its a matter of whether or not there is "indisputable video evidence" to overturn the call on the field. Since the evidence doesn't seem to exist JStew and the Panthers were jobbed.

And we saw all of the footage, multiple times, in extra slow-mo, with possible zoom that the ref got to see? That the ref got to ask to rewind, play back, rewind again, slow this part, slow that part, etc.? Or did we only see what CBS showed us before they went to commercial?

[lightsout]

It is obvious by one angle (I think it is the angle they showed on the replay at field level from the endzone camera) that, at SUPER slow-mo, you see Stewart's hand hit the ground and his elbow digs into a Jaguars defender's ribs or hip. Regardless, the elbow is clearly NOT on the ground, so the call should not have been overturned. They had it right the first time. I don't even think the head touched the ground either. It was a perfect back-tuck roll.

I wonder what Jags fans think happened.

dumbest conversation in Panther history

[carolinarolls]

not even close...

true but there sure is a lot of talk about a play that if it had a been confirmed would have been pure luck and nothing at all to be pumping our chests about

not to mention people watching from home got better views than anyone and nothing was proved either way

yes the play should have stood based on the original non whistle but was nothing to make a huge deal out of.
