Youtube vidoe of the play in OT that should've been reviewed: You be the judge

[keeponbucn]

It's clear as day this hit the ground.

100% clear

besides that clowns dome in the way yes it's clear.

Keepon, that's the best angle I've seen so far.  No doubt from that angle it wasn't a catch.  I still cannot believe they did not review the play, or at the very least call the holding penalty on Hovan.  I'm sticking with my origingal theory in that Fox wanted to desperately get switched over to the Eagles/Giants game.

Ok, it hit the ground. What's anyone going to do about it now? No one in the league office is going to award the game to Tampa Bay. The game is over. It's been over for a little over four hours. It's a bad call. The officials didn't make the right call. Ok, so what? It's going to remain a bad call. It's going to remain a Buccaneers loss. Nothing is going to change that; including complaining about the play. If we were competing for anything other than pride at this point, I could see raising an issue with this one. But, we're not.

I saw that at game speed.....was calling for a challenge/review in the gameday thread.

I get that but Fox didn't really look at the play again. This was the first replay I saw of it and wasn't complaining just thought it was intereesting to post.

They showed one reply, and you could see it fairly clearly.

keep, it was a general thought; not specific. Yes, officials make terrible calls. Yes, some of those calls end up hurting the losing team. But, there's nothing to be done about it after the game has already ended. No one is going to give the Bucs the win. I've seen people already tonight completely tantrum over this call, and there's no reason to become that upset over something that has already happened and cannot be changed.

I agree and would never say this play lost the Bucs the game. It's odd that they didn't review the play. They reviewed a freak'n punt downed at the 1 and not this? It was strange to me.

MJS: I missed the one replay.

I remember learning in school about Rosa Parks and her famous bus ride. She could have just said nothing and followed the rule. She made a stand not for the moment, but for the future. Maybe if we pitch a fit now about a non-booth review, we get the chance for a review next time. I think the Bucs need an answer from the NFL as to why there was no review.

Terrible call.   But at least we get a higher draft pick because of it.

Could somebody photoshop that dude's head out of the way??? Thanks in advance

OK Gruden fan. This thread is here. Whats anybody going to be doing about it now? No one is going to delete this thread. Its going to remain a thread on the Red Board.  Nothing is going to change that, including complaining about this thread.

That was not a catch!
