iso_55 Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 So, in the twitter universe everyone is saying the Lions got screwed & that the ball was out. My response to that is **** the twitter universe. I think the whistle blew before the ball did come out. But the Bombers have been screwed over so many times by the officials that cost us games in the past even if it was a fumble, I don't care as it was about bloody time a call went our way.

Tracker Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 From what I could see of the replays, there was no conclusive proof that the ball was torn out of Harris' hands before his butt hit the ground, but even if it was a bum call, the Arcenaux "reception" as he fell out of bounds juggling the ball should have been called. bustamente, Super Duper Negatron, iso_55 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I think the reason the whistle blew early was because the BC players were holding Harris up while they tried to strip the ball.

Jesse Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 The whistle blew. Whether he fumbled it or not isn't relevant. The whistle blew. The play was dead. Logan007, Bigblue204, Goalie and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty30 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Imo the ref blew the whistle earlier than he should have, but the fact of the matter is that the whistle blew before Harris fumbled.

Stickem Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 In that melee it was hard to tell exactly when Harris actually touched the turf...I believe he was down and the whistle blew ending the play..The ball did come out but the play was whistled dead before the ball came out....Matters not anyway as the command centre ruled it was a dead play and not a fumble..How many have we seen go the other way and cost us bigtime...Great win.

Nolby Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I immediately thought they had blown the whistle before any possibility of there being a chance that it was a fumble. Bigblue204 and blitzmore 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-F-F-C Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 The call could have gone either way but I don't think there was a definitive view that showed it was a fumble and because it was called "down by contact. It would have had to be very definitive to overturn the call. But I think the true issue here is how Harris handled the ball. At that time of the game I believe he was only thinking of himself and the yards vs. getting both hands on the ball and protecting it. We didn't really need the 1st down. But the worst thing that could have happened would have been a turnover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty30 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 The play was dead. It was bad call....not bc there was a fumble, but because the refs blew the whistle early. There was no fumble because the whistle was blown before the ball was stripped. Nolby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I believe it was a fumble and that we were really lucky that it wasn't called that way. I think that Arceneux caught the ball, got 1 foot down, but didn't survive contact with the ground so that one shouldn't have been a catch. IMO, there were also 2 offsides that weren't called. One of them, would have given BC a first down to keep their drive alive. All in all, one of the worst reffed games of the season. At least we won.

wbbfan Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Was the whistle early? Maybe. But I thought his forward momentum was stopped. Qbs on keepers get a bit of leeway but ball carriers generally do not. Whistle blew, play was dead no fumble. I also saw a pic on fb where he seemed to be down by contact with the ball in his arm. bustamente 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpgallday1960 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Bombers got fortunate with that fumble call no question. A lot of bad or missed calls that game. Dumb question: on that roughing the passer call on Westerman, wasn't he essentially tripped into Jennings? Didn't look like it was his fault, unless they felt he deliberately extended his roll into Jennings. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Horribly refereed game. I'm not sure who got ripped off more. But BC at the end definitely had the most prominent screw jobbing. Dirty30, Bigblue204 and TBURGESS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we please have back the ball that @MattNichols16 threw in the stands. @Kohlert2 1st TD pass.

rebusrankin Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I sit in that endzone. 1. His momentum was halted before the ball game out. 2. The whistle blew ending the play before the ball was out. 3. Those who feel the wrong call was made can **** themselves because they're wrong.
