Thread: Observation on Fumble TD

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but I saw a very strange thing on that "fumble TD." The ball was hit loose, it went flying through the air, and the WR caught it...however, if you look in the background there was something that puzzled me. As soon as the fumble was hit the back judge reached ni his pocket and grabed his yellow flag. He thrusted his hand in the air like he was going to throw it, but as soon as the eagles reciever made caught the ball, he immediately shoved the flag back in his pocket. Did anyone else notice that other than me. And if so, was there a call that could have brought that back? (no, i'm not blaming the loss on that, we played like shit)

nah, probably was a D foul.

oh, sorry about the swear webby, i just typed that in at the end really quick

I noticed that too and I was yellin at the tv that that was a penalty of sumthin but i guess not like if the viks got it there is some king of rule about that?



THANKS FOR THE GREAT YEAR :rr:

He was reaching for his beanbag to throw as a fumble signal....and grabbed the flag also.

yeh...I agree philly girl

sometimes they grab whatever they can get to in a hurry. I have seen them throw their hat to mark a fumble when they can't get to their flag quick enough.

ha.. i noticed it, but immediatley thought it was a fumble on D, which wouldnt have surprised me.. but i did notice that the reciever took more than two steps, and the ball went forward, w/o hitting the ground, shouldnt that be a forward latteral?

:king:

No, because it was caused by our player.
