Maybe I need to watch it again, but I'm quite certain that they ruled that the Rams player who fell on the ball initially that he had possession and thereby was down by contact before the 2nd "fumble occurred"

Exactly this. and that is why the ball was placed back where it was. The original player had the ball, fumbled, recovered and then moved. By rule he is not able to advance the ball if he recovers the fumbled ball. That is what the announcers said. I still have it on dvd and watched it ANYWAY today. I wanted to see a few things that were in confusion yesterday off the radio broadcast.[/quote]
And over 24 hours later and we still dont know what the exact ruling was because they never made it clear then, and all we apparently deserve now is a few morons on twitter speculating and trying to convince us it was "reviewed" in 21.6 seconds in NY.
The call may have been perfectly legit. But we dont know because it happened so fast and chaotic, and no clear explanation was given or shown.
Way too critical of a play to not take the time to sort it out, explain it, look at it. WAY less consequential and much clearer plays are reviewed ALL THE TIME.
Not sure whats more annoying. The play, or the hawk fans that pretend to be above being upset at the ending because of a fake punt, as if the two have any correlation whatsoever.[/quote]
This type of fan is hilarious, the ones that somehow think they are better than other fans because they don't want to discuss a controversial call that went against us.[/quote]
Indeed. They showed up in droves for this one.
If the seahawks get a false start, are late for the team bus, or wear white jerseys after labor day, complaining about piss poor officiating is not allowed, and one is clearly not an educated fan if they do so, because, as we know and have been told, its not the reason we lost. so we cant discuss it.
Note it.
