Just watched the replay of the falcons game and the coaches blew the game by not throwing the red flag in the 2nd quarter when the Falcons went for it on 4th down. It was an obvious incomplete pass which ended up costing the Pack 7 pts., maybe more if the Pack would have scored. Even the announcers said the play should be reviewed, how do the coaches miss this??
1) Why are we still beating this to death? It's been covered numerous times already.
2) There was nothing obvious about that 4th down completion. It looked like a good catch. Even Atlanta thought it was a good catch as they didn't exactly rush to the line to snap the ball as evidenced by the 4 seconds remaining on a 40 second playclock.
3) It's already been established that the replay seen by the announcers, and us in the viewing audience, was shown much quicker than the replay in the coaching booth. The coaches didn't get to see their replay until well after the next play had been run. As such, there was no way for them to review the play with enough time to challenge it.
You can say he should have all you want, but hindsight is 20/20. I will also remind you that we were the beneficiaries of a similar scenario in the Vikings game, when Quarless made his TD catch. The Vikings never saw a replay until after the extra point was kicked, and as such, were unable to challenge the catch. Such is the way of homefield advantage.
