I know this is my beloved Bulls chat,but what an idiotic blowned call by the refs!!! The Buccs should have had another chance at scoring and winning the game.  I bet they were SEC refs!

What's the purpose of having a videotape rule when they don't use it?

Makes no sense to me that they wouldn't look at the tape on their own initiative, in such a situation.

Especially when it's shown right there on the Big Screens for the whole world to see.

It's just whacky. - Howie

I'm glad our defense bends and doesn't break.

Penalties are NOT subject to the replay rule.

It's my understanding that Rice jumped up and landed on some other Bucs players...this is considered to be an illegal action.

Even so, it was one of the most horrendous refereeing jobs I have witnessed. They blew calls left and right, THEN to make up for their mistakes, they called bogus penalties on both teams. Terrible and totally unproffessional if you ask me.

I saw the game, Rice landed on his feet.  He touched other players.

1 - Unlike in college, in the NFL - a player lining up more than 1 yard off the neutral zone, running toward the line and jumping to block a kick is supposed to jump straight up and down - making absolutely no contact with any other player.

2 - As a referee, I can say that it was a bogus call.  To be sure, it was a technical violation of the rules -- but the Buc he landed on was BLOCKED INTO him.  Any Umpire worth his salt should have seen that.  Rice did jump straight up and would have come straight down had the Colt not pushed the Buc into Rice.

I am willing to bet that the League office issues a "clarification" of this rule sometime in the next few weeks.  Won't change the fact that the Bucs were robbed in OT...

Then again, if the Bucs could have held the Colts ONE TIME in three drives in the last four minutes, none of this would matter...

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.
