I think he was motioning to coach

Im addicted to threads like this, but it doesn't help get over it. No way they do what is right, its over. We need to attempt to move on...

No we don't. As long as the league keeps screwing it up they need to be held somehow accountable.

 

[St. PJ]

We should start a go fund me to show #60 and Roger what a bounty actually looks like. I truly don't know what to do with this anger, and am grateful I wasn't at the game, otherwise I'd likely be in jail right now for trying to get on the field and bludgeon the side judge; I maybe drink 5 times a year, and I was drunk enough and angry enough.

 

[roguesaint]

so wait not only did the other guy not throw a flag but the guy directly in front of it didn't either? Holy [ mod edit thinly veiled profanity] how do you not what is going man this just pisses me off even more woooooow

 

[Guido Merkins]

He was waiving off Payton...not the other official. If you look at the wider shot, Payton is running down the sideline...the other ref doesn't even reach for the flag....there's enough crap with this. Spreading misinformation doesn't help

These refs are lucky they made it out of New Orleans without getting smacked around.

 

[RT3]

just added another twitter video to the OP that shows Calvaletto was pointing at Payton who was running at them at the time...

BUT...

it also shows Turner definitely had his hand on his flag and was so ready to throw it before deciding against it

 

[Mr. Sparkle]

I wish they had just locked the doors.

We will never get the win we deserve, but those officials' heads need to roll. No NFL player should accept them as an official for their game, because all their hard work could be erased with no logic.

What I would like to hear is the refs' explanations for not throwing the flag. Zero chance that happens.

 

[Guido Merkins]

How about it was the playoffs and they wanted to "let them play" and in that moment, they lacked the guts to throw the flag to decide the game??

then their job as "officials" to maintain fairness is subjective to own biases.

That is a problem.

Vinovich said it was non-reviewable, thus he wasn't bothered by it. That's about all you're gonna get.

 

[la. champ1]

Disturbing that the ref is barely ten yards away from the play as it happens. Smh

Given the down, distance, scores and time left on the clock....NOT throwing the flag had a greater affect on deciding the game than actually throwing the flag....it doesn't shake out.

IF they throw the flag, the play is then reviewable and the time & attention can be given to look at all the angles, in slow motion, to definitively get the call right. By not throwing the flag, the rules prevent the same level of scrutiny to be applied on whether or not there was PI, helmet to helmet, etc.
