Review Rules?

[VolFreakJosh]

I know it doesn’t matter now but since when you’re able to review a play after the ball was already snapped?

Have the rules changed that much?

 

[Strickland]

I honestly feel like that’s why the play stood. I definitely expected them to overturn it.

Damndest thing I’ve ever seen. Call wrong on the field, review when they can’t review after the snap, F the the call again. It’s truly impressive just how inept they are.

Doesn’t make any sense. I could maybe understand if the whistle was right at the snap but the running back had gained 6 yards up the middle before they blew it dead. I feel like the sports world is out to ruin Tennessee.

We're seeing things from officiating we've never seen before on a weekly basis this season.

I didn’t think the call on the field was correct, but I also didn’t think the replay was indisputable.

That was a little bit like being Alabama for a moment.

 

[orangerush]

There are no rules, the next play was over before they blew the whistle. Apparently the zebras make it up as they go.

I've never seen a recall after a play has been run. But that was not a catch in bounds. We got a free one there. Wasn't even close to being debatable

It wasn't even close to reviewable either.

That was a little bing life like Alabama moment.

Looked pretty indisputable to me. I guess it could’ve been a catch somewhere in the multiverse where the laws of football and physics are different. If the glove doesnt fit you must acquit apparently

I agree the opportunity to replay was over. And I can see how the ref on the field could make a bad call ( trying to look at his feet and hands at the same time etc) but the replay was not disputable. It was clearly not a catch in bounds.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Pretty sure that’s happened to us multiple times over the past decade

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

worked out for us

 

[dobre_shunka]

Pretty sure that’s happened to us multiple times over the past decade

Yeah, this wasn't the first time for that. Think it happened in the Ole Miss game 2 years ago

 

[cjbongoinstructor]

Agree with this 100%

 

[DaddyChad]

At least it’s short yardage

 

[volunator]

It wasn't a catch, at ths same time I'm happy somebody had to pay for flopping to stop the clock.

Yeah it was so close it was really hard to tell

I asked the same question last week @ Bama in middle of a play when they whistle dead for a review. I always thought once the ball snapped it was done but…

 

[TheVolsFrog]

They claim the call for review came in before the snap.
Tough crap if you don't blow it dead on the field then oh well.

They’re just making sh*t up as they go along.

the timing was off. certain the call came before the snap but the official didn't blow the whistle before the snap... its just timing... I've seen that before, several times.

 

[memvol]

Interesting, isn’t it? I absolutely hate being a skeptic, but the amount of missed and untimely calls really brings out the tin foil… no way you are that bad at your job and still have one, unless it’s intentional and you have cover.

If the ball is snapped before you blow the play dead, then you can’t review the play, period. A little public accountability would probably help to restore needed confidence.

 

[VFL 89]

I'm betting if you look it up in the rule book, once the next play starts, you can't go back and review. That's the way I've always understood it.

But since officiating is getting substantially worse every year (and nothing is being done to keep bad refereeing in check) whatcha gonna do?

 

[GordonC]

You can't go back and review once the next play starts, but it happens every year.
I've seen it a few times this year, just not in one of our games until tonight.
I mean for DPI to be called, the pass has to be "catchable." That isn't strictly followed either. Never forget the OK game in Neyland when DPI was called against us when the ball bounced off the wall in the south end zone.
No consequences
