Play's dead when forward progress stops, not when the whistle blows. Tennessee got away with a hold on the int in the end zone. Calls go both ways for every team, every season.

Why are there whistles then...just do away with them and go only by FP.

Well if forward progress was stopped then blow the whistle. You don’t get to stand there with your thumb up your butt till UT gets a touchdown then say, oh I should have blown it dead. If he scores before you can exhale your breath into the whistle, the TD counts!

I love how officials can just secretly decide when a play should be stopped just like they did tonight and against Ole Piss. It’s giving them a little too much power if you ask me. The play isn’t dead until they blow the whistle.

That's what I was thinking.
*player scores*
Ref: oh, ahem, yeah play was over I decided it just didn't do anything about it.

Watch the replay in slo mo. Runner's left foot was the only one on the ground when the ball was 1 1/2 ft from the goal like, with a UT player pulling him. You can't drive with one foot. His forward progress had stopped with 1 1/2 ft to go. Refs got it right. Should have gone for 3 the series before, but certainly this series. Sends a bad message to your D.

I'm guessing you are being intentionally stupid just for the fun of it.
At least I hope so, because you sound really ignorant.

The play didn't happen in slo-mo, you effing dolt. He wasn't down, and was still struggling toward the goal line, which he reached BEFORE the whistle. GTFOH w/ your silliness.

Why even try to talk with a Georgia fan? They're filth.

I don't know but UT ends up on the wrong side of these calls too much.. Seemed like a judgement call from the official before he actually blew the whistle.. Yeah that makes sense, not..

A player's forward progress stops when he stops moving forward. He was getting pulled into the end zone by one of his teammates, but he still got stopped.

He was actually still moving forward he only had one foot on the ground because that's how you drive forward, it's how humans run and walk. No football player drives forward with both feet on the ground at the same time. He was still moving forward when he reached, and no being stopped for a split second in slow motion does not mean progress was halted.

The officiating tonight should be reviewed by their governing body and an explanation be given explaining the rationale for those calls.

And forward progress stops when forward progress...stops! Clearly that wasn't the case last night. If his forward progress had stopped, he wouldn't have crossed the goal line would he!

Funny that 99.5% of everybody that saw the play (including most fans of other teams) disagree with you. Your Dawg colored glasses are showing. I think I’ll believe the 99.5%.

Also I will be willing to bet you will see a dozen plays tonight alone where ga players pull push an mob force the runner forward. Rule or no rule it’s part of the game that never gets called. I just hope tonight the refs call it against ga repeatedly so dumbazdog will feel the same pain and frustration as they get neutered tonight like the did in the sec championship

My test for this is always, if this was reversed and it happened to the other team, what would the response be? If your response would be TD, then so be it.

I would be saying it was definitely not a TD because forward progress was stopped

Yep. I was taught that you “play till the whistle”. Not when the ref thinks about raising his arms. And the whistle signaling “play over” did NOT come until after he crossed the line. That much is 100% clear. Most coordinated people with any motor skills can wave their arms and blow a whistle at the same time but I guess this ref can’t do it. Probably a Georgia grad who had to take remedial classes.

Seriously stfu and see your mutt ass out.

Calls go both ways, fair enough. Calls that inarguably decide the game DO NOT get excused that easily. If this is the national title and UGA gets jobbed on that play most UGA fans would be livid.

PS I hope you get the jobbed in the playoffs on a play similar to this.

That would be poetic justice!!!
