...what was with the ref's overturn call on the fumble replay in the Tampa game?

What happened to conclusive evidence? Fumble or not, that was a HORRID call by the officials. Sadly, was watching the game with a Tampa fan but he even agreed it was a bad call. Curious on the thoughts from the loyal Black and Gold'ers.

kiddcreole welcome.
I am still scratching my head on that call.A mercy call maybe? Had a bet on the game? Got me. Weak is all I can say about the call.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way. The ball was clearly fumbled. The question here was who possesed the ball after the fumble. It looked to me like when McAllister landed he had the ball, the whistle was blown, and THEN Ruud came up with it.

Welcome to the BlackandGold...

IMO the ref's wasn't a factor at all in the Bucs game, it was the entire team who loss that was the factor of getting the loss.

It's been like that across the board in the league so far. I don't know if it's because they're trying to implament the new rule changes or what, but clearly they are screwing up big time.

That fumble was a big momentum swing and I thought there was ZERO conclusive evidence on the play. Tampa then went down field and scored. That was that.

This is really shouldnt be brought up it may be a bad call but really thats not the reason the saint lost so bad........ The reason they lost is cause they couldnt get anything going on offense and on defense they couldnt stop anybody........
