BS penalty. Int. grounding on Jameis. (1 Viewer)

[Super44]

Never ever heard of such a rule. I still cannot figure out the call and what the ruling was.

Is it the Saints fault the clock wasn’t running? Why would the official spot the ball and not start the clock? Why would the officials allow the Saints to even snap the ball?

I DON’T GET IT!

Anybody?

Yeah they were being little turds in this game. If that were Brady they would let him know.

I think the refs are inferring its jameis job to look at the clock and know when to spike. I agree with you. There seemed to be no immediate confirmation he was inbounds or not.

They call that on the SAINTS, but no penalty when the Falcons coach runs out to mid field to fuss at the refs and argue to reverse a call

 

[Taker597]

Man... They try to hand ATL that game. It honestly hurt them. If they didn't bail them out. They would of had more time on that last drive.

 

[Mamba]

That was definitely an officiating gaffe.

Spiking the ball on 3rd down and short with nearly 30 seconds left was our gaffe. And that one could've directly cost us the game.

Landry was down by contact. Clock should have started OR refs should have let Winston know it was called out of bounds.

Chump move to call that penalty on him.

Lattimore one was just as obnoxious, too.

But good teams overcome stupid penalties, and they did just that.

Don’t get it.
When we snap the ball, the clock continues to run.

The refs explanation would mean that every spike would be an intentional grounding

 

[Krodwhodat]

It was legit. Winston thought the clock was still running and that he was tackled in bounds. The refs stopped the clock because Landry got up and ran out of bounds. It’s a penalty to spike on a stopped clock.

BEcause bet your you know what if Landry would've gotten up and housed it, they would've called it down by contact at the point of catch

I said that to my family and friends here watching the game. There was no need to hurry up and spike it. But it will be an awareness learning session for sure.

Intentional grounding is throwing the ball to avoid a sack! He wasn’t trying to avoid a sack! Bullshirt call!

Yep, even if the clock has stopped, when the ball is snapped, the clock starts again, so it's running, you can spike the ball. Total BS call on the refs, just one of quite a few questionable decisions they made in that game.

Right, it was a penalty.

But Landry was obviously down by contact, so much so that Winston didn't think it was even possible he wasn't. Refs should have made their original call of out of bounds clear.
