Officiating crew is done

When I say correct call, I meant that the whistle shouldn't have been blown in the first place, allowing the TD.

Same play but due to a whistle, that happened when the ball was in the air supposedly, the play should have been dead/replayed.

If they had replayed the down, it COULD have resulted in just a FG, and then the Raiders could have just kicked a FG at the end to tie and go into OT.
However, the Bengals could have just possibly scored a TD on the replay of the down, so it may not have made a difference.

I found it odd that there was a call overturned in favor of the Raiders that didn't require a challenge flag, but the Bengals had to use a challenge on the same type of thing just plays later.
The roughing the passer call was BS too.

Those weren't officiating issues.  Multiple camera angles clearly showed the Raiders receiver catching the ball, and the fact the Raiders were starting to huddle allowed the replay official to quickly see it was a catch and notify the referee.  The second play looked like a catch and fumble live, and the Raiders raced to the line to snap the ball so it could not be reviewed.  Thus Zac threw the challenge flag to force a replay review to overturn the play.  The system 100% worked on those two sequences, and the were among the rare times things were done correctly last night.

But the refs called it as an incomplete pass. It was then ruled a catch when the NFL office in New York called it in.
I thought that unless it was inside 2 minutes of a half, there would have had to be a challenge thrown to overturn it?

Regardless, I don't give a f***. Bengals deserved that win. They played better. On to TEN/BUF.

Yeah, there's no doubt about the fact that they should not have blown it dead.  I could understand it if his foot was a fraction of an inch from being on the sideline, but the replay was clear that there was still a foot or more of green between his shoe and the sideline.

One of the rule tweeks this year is expanded duties to the replay official.  That is one of the things he can do is communicate that it is a catch or incomplete without stopping the game, but it has to be clear on the broadcast to do so.

Upon review, they realized he didn't step out of bounds and awarded the TD.
However, the whistle was technically blown about less than a second before the catch. The ball was in the air when it was blown.

What happens when the whistle is blown while the ball is in the air?

I would not be surprised to see Boger retire after this season. At 66 he is already one of the oldest active officials

Play is dead.

It's not different than a returner sprinting down the sideline and they whistle because they think he stepped out, or the runner doesn't touch the ground and they blow the play dead.  The whistle has blown, so nothing after counts.  The only time it can coun't after the whistle is in the case of a fumble where there is a clear recovery after the whistle and the ruling on the field was down by contact.  A coach can challenge the runner was down, and if it is in fact determined there was a turnover and there was a clear recovery, the recovery is awarded.

The other 'play' that was a complete headscrather was the timeout given AFTER the play was completed. There was no whistle. No stoppage of play. Nothing. Chase caught the ball. Double tapped his feet and they blew a whistle. But then... timeout was given! What!?!?

This.

Everyone forgets this because of the "whistle td", but that roughing penalty was a critical call late in the 4th quarter.

Yeah.  They got it right in the sense that the DB was CLEARLY calling for a TO before the snap, but no official had any reaction until AFTER the play was over.  We see plays around the league ALL THE TIME where they don't see the TO and the play is allowed to stand.  If they didn't whistle it dead during the play, it should've still counted.  Especially since the official in front of Chase had thrown a flag after the snap because of the 12 men on the field foul.  I have a feeling the ref was covering his ass because they allowed the ball to be snapped since the rules now say they are supposed to blow the play dead when the snap is imminent and apply the penalty at that point.

Right 

It was a complete BS call and only got the flag from Carr's acting job. But that call very,very much could have altered the outcome of the game.

Crickets from national media on that though.

That was the one.

The reason is because technically by rule once the whistle is blow the payed is dead no matter what.

The official accidently blew it while the ball was in the air negating the TD.

It's bullshit because basically people are mad the Bengals didn't get screwed because the official screwed up.

Yes technically the TD should not have counted but the whistle should never have been blown.

It's like everyone wants the a stupid loophole to effect the outcome of the game because so asshat can't do his job.

Yeah on this other forum I'm on people are saying that the Bengals only won because of shitty refs, etc.

Its always  one thing or another! Screw em, I'm gonna enjoy this win and get ready for next week!

The whistle shouldnt determine the outcome of the play in this situation, not that refs don't make mistakes when to whistle either.
