Has anyone ever seen the NFL office overturn a ball that's been properly spotted by the refs?

Black Jack??

A BJ is a terrible thing to wast

I work at a lab that does overnight medical testing and one of the test we run is called a Bence Jones. I'll give you 3 guesses what it's labelled on every scrap of paperwork including the test tube but you're only going to need one. For a certain joke I made I now and forever more am only allowed to call it a Bence Jones.

Well the BJ would be a terrible thing to waste if you lost or contaminated the sample

Disgusting play: the BJ came in short and First down was still given. There were some terrible make up calls for both Teams: Milt's helmet hit on Herbert should have been called.

It was the Down Judge and Line Judge who were the ones marking it. BOTH marked it short with the Down Judge signaling 4th down.


No. Milt's hit on Herbert shouldn't have been called because the O-lineman shoved Milt in that direction. Milt doesn't make contact with Herbert otherwise.

I don't know.. a BJ wasting a long time seems like a good thing to me..

It was a very strange series of events which never got fully explained.

I pride myself on being able to analyze Patriots games objectively and I can say without bias that he sure as hell looked short to me, it sure as hell looked like the refs spotted him short, and then next thing you know it’s first and ten with the NBC announcers fumbling through some completely non-sensical explanation that they themselves didn’t understand.

Never got explained because they were trying to help a team. I'm kind of surprised that more ref help hasn't happened with all the gambling and such. Maybe they have been but it's out of sight....would not surprise me at all. Gotta get that spread!

The ball spot was the refs just saying "fuk it" just give Herbert the first down. It was clear as day he was short.

Milton Williams could've gone the other way, but he got pushed into Herbert which was why he may have got the benefit of the doubt. The ref also just may not have seen it.

The Carlton Davis PI call was a gift as well.

Refs are human and Pats will get calls in their favor and others they won't.

I dont understand the use of all this technology in football if your actually not going to go all the way and use it correctly. You have sensors in the ball. You put a sensor in every whistle so that when it is blown it logs a time that you can then pinpoint the location of the ball at specific times.

Refs spotted the ball correctly. They called it a 4th down. They were overruled by the NY office.

I dont think the sensor is used until the ball is spotted. The sensor just saves time so they dont use the chain gang. It doesnt change anything.

I'd still like to know why there was no flag on an obvious helmet-to-helmet on a defenseless receiver, Demario Douglas, after he was tackled. The hit was so hard, we could hear it in the stands. On replay, it was clear too.

Missed some last night too
Hands to the head and HTH last night on Rodgers
Not called.
They stopped that whistle in 07 as well, GMen crashed Bradys head with ZERO Calls.
Is what it is...
