Stupid rule, but the refs made the right call.

By somehow not seeing a player with both an elbow and a knee down they made the right call?

That was a bang bang play. That's what the review was for. If Schwartz wasn't an idiot, it would've been overturned .

It wasn't close at all. And Schwartz's mistake doesn't absolve the refs from failing to do their jobs.

Boohoo. Not the first time they've missed a player being down. Certainly won't be the last. It's still Schwartz's fault for not knowing the rule. The play would've been overturned. Can't stress that enough.

i'm fine with the refs erring on the side of caution, knowing it gets reviewed automatically. would have been more of an outrage if he stayed up somehow and should have scored but it was blown dead.

I've seen some of the most incredible long balls I've ever seen between RGIII and his receivers this year. What an arm, and his play fakes are ridiculous.

[shafnutz05]

Lol...the "slot, route running WR" is quickly becoming the white player version of the "running QB"

[the wicked child]

Great catch there...

Haven't been this excited about an athlete since Sid came to town.

Dallas is really bad

So because Schwartz made the last mistake,it doesn't matter that the first and greater mistake was made by the refs? Good to know.

The refs would've overturned their mistake. Quit being argumentative for the sake of being argumentative. Your telling me you know he was down before we saw the replay? I'm calling BS.

I said he was down when it happened, as did my dad, as did much of the planet.

"Anyone with two good eyes (or even one good eye) could see that both Forsett’s knee and his elbow were on the ground, and players on both teams started walking back to get into the huddle for the next play."

And that's besides the point, as I am not one of the seven people on field level paid to see such things. The fact that they would have reversed the call is irrelevant because a) they blew the call in the first place, b) the rule involved is non-sensical and has been applied inconsistently this year. Stop hiding behind Schwartz's mistake to pretend that the refs didn't make an egregious error that swung the game. Schwartz's mistake doesn't happen if the refs get the call right instead of letting the play go for no reason (which leads to things like injuries, bad calls that don't get reversed on replay, or penalties that affect drives and games).

Sanchez and Blowhard keeping it classy during the anthem, cracking jokes as they're standing next to first responders/servicemen. God I love rooting against those two losers

[PghSkins]

Whew.

I loves beatin dem Cowpies.

[Godric]

Sanchez is so bad

[DudeMan2766]

TB looks like he may have had some work done

[DudeMan2766]

Why is Greene signaling to bring the ball back? He was stopped, it was 4th down. He just bought about 10 more yards with that fumble

[shafnutz05]

Lololol

Sucks I am facing the Pats D this week...but that was unbelievable

[Pavel Bure]

Lololololilolololililloloo

[DelPen]

Why trade for Tebow if you won't put him in at this point?

[shafnutz05]

I am 100% convinced the Jets grabbed Tebow to make headlines and gain media attention, and for absolutely no other reason. They never intended to play him with any regularity

[DudeMan2766]

LOL Its bedlam in the Meadowlands right now

[skullman80]

I don't see how Tebow gives them any better chance. The guy sucks as a QB, just like Sanchez does.
