Simple question.

Can the replay officials not hear the game sounds when looking at replay? Because in this video clip you can clearly hear the whistle while the ball is in the air.

Perhaps every official needs to start using e-whistles what are all connected to a central timer so they know exactly when a whistle was blown.

They're saying when the whistle blows is not reviewable. Therefore the call on the field stands.

JFC, another blowout with the Eagles / Bucs game. Really? 0 - 31?

Yeah, I gave up on that game when the Bucs scored another touchdown in the third quarter and it was clear Philly was going to take a beating. 🙁
 
OK, 49-ers / Cowboys!

And this :D

Think about this.

Until yesterday, no one had ever sent a text message about a Bengal's Playoff win.
 
Holy cow! 49ers-Cowboys had an ending that was both exciting and bizarre.

For a while there it looked like the Cowboys were gonna claw their way back into the game and send it into overtime. But they just ran out of time. With :14 left Prescott runs the ball, then tries to get everyone lined up to spike it and stop the clock. But the official had to position the ball--and he really did hurry to do so--and the clock counted down to 0 just before Prescott spiked it.

Ironically, I'll bet if Prescott had spiked it before it the ref set it up, it would've gotten them some sort of penalty...illegal formation or something...and they would've been backed up five yards with one or two seconds left. What a weird way for a playoff game to end.

The crazy thing is - they took their time discussing it and then made the wrong call, despite the fact that every player knew the whistle blew first. I think the ref didn’t want to admit he blew the whistle early… so he denied it and the other refs went along. Like I said, those refs are just plain incompetent.

“Hey nobody will expect a run up the middle with almost no time on the clock!”

Yeah, because it is really stupid.

The entire Dallas coaching staff needs to be re-evaluated.
 
That wasn't the entire reason they lost, though. They were playing come-from-behind football most of the game, and they had 14 penalties.

They didn’t seem to prepare well for the game at all. Tons of penalties, a bad game plan… they got out-coached more than anything else. That last dumb play was emblematic of the way that coaching staff wastes the talents of one of the most talented teams in the league.
 
I hate the Cowboys and their annoying fanbase. I lived in Dallas 4 years and hated it. I hate anything Dallas related. It's always good to see them lose.

Btw, they weren't throwing stuff at their own players. They were throwing stuff at the refs.

Don't forget about the 10 second runoff for a running clock pre-snap penalty inside 2 minutes. :)

I have always preferred the college rule of the clock stopping to set the ball on a first down. Would have made the end of this game way more exciting, plus eliminate any question about the refs. I do agree he tried, but he was coming from a long way back.

Aside from the whistle in the Bengal's/Raiders game, the next worst call was the roughing the passer penalty on the Eagles. He clearly pulled up and didn't hit him low. Never should have been flagged.

Not a fan of inadvertent hands/arms hitting the QB's head being a penalty either.
 
I have friends living in the Lake Winnebago area, and just happened to look at their weather. It shows a predicted high of 22° on Saturday, the warmest day in the ten-day after Tuesday.

The Niners are going to be murdered.

I hope so! lol
 
Most of my family are Cowgirl fans. They talk shit to me ALLLLLL season because I am a Packers fan. Now they are quiet LOL
 
WOW. The Cardinals’ Kyler Murray, throwing from his end zone, tries to avoid the sack (and safety) by throwing the ball away—right into the hands of the Rams’ long, who runs it in for the team’s third touchdown.

The Rams are eating Arizona’s lunch, and that play was the highlight of the playoffs so far.
