Force Outs (1 Viewer)

Basically said that all the force out calls this weekend were bad. Fitz' force out was bad judgement. Bubba Franks' TD absolutely should've been a TD. On the TO one, the ref should've ruled force out and dealt with the feet being in or not on replay if necessary. TO's wasn't a forceout situation becuase it was ruled on the field as a complete pass. And he doesn't want to put force out on replay. But in situations like Owens', the ref should rule a force out. He basically said that the reffing was pretty bad in regards to force outs this weekend.

For those of you arguing about Owens getting screwed 2 weeks in a row, well there's proof of one. The previous week's forceout I think, based on his description, would be much like Fitz' FO that went in his favor. That it was a bad call and the defender's actions weren't enough to rule it a FO. Just my opinion, but they were similar situations and I never thought last week's was a FO anyway. But TO and Franks both got hosed this week. However, if TO gets that catch, Barber probably gets the TD instead of TO...

I started a thread about this earlier. Was glas to see the NFL admit they were wrong and clarify how it should be called. This is what makes the NFL great. No other league does this public self analysis.
