Forward progress is reviewable…

I rem a game the Pats played recently where Stevenson literally dragged half the D with half the offense pushing him into the end zone for AT LEAST 8 secs and it was the most amazing run ever supposedly.

Forward progress, when ruled on the field, is not reviewable. Forward progress in terms of, how far did a player actually get is reviewable.

Meaning, the ref rules the player down at the 1 or that the player gets the touchdown, and the play is reviewed and found to be right or wrong.

When the ref rules forward progress, that ends the play. It’s a stupid rule, I honestly don’t understand why it is a rule, when we have instant replay to confirm or overrule.

In certain cases. This is one of them and This one deserves to be seen. (I edited the thread title to make it obvious what this thread is about).

Getting screwed like this is just completely wrong. Don’t f*****g tell me that a goal line forward progress call isn’t reviewable. The officiating this season across the NCAA was trash, but seemingly worse in the SEC, and even arguably further garbage in our games. But, here we are.

All I know is that each and every one of those refs needs about 10 Chuck Norris roundhouses to the face.

Exactly my point. I’m tired of refs not knowing these rules that are critical to game outcome. It’s not just hurt us before, but other teams as well. It’s got to stop.

The forward progress BS bit us in the @$$ a few times this season, possibly costing us 2 wins.
GBO!!

The play ends where the ball is found to be when down by contact, ruled to have gone out of bounds or where the forward most position of the ball reached when the whistle is blown rightly or wrongly. The ball was over the goal line. The ref can divine when the play is over and whistle it dead, but the ball is to be spotted at the forward most position reached when the whistle sounds, just like a play when the runner is pushed back several yards. Blow the whistle and find that point.

Another thing I can’t figure out, if players are taught to play until the whistle, how in the hell do you blow the whistle AFTER a player scores a TD?

You mean to tell me these trained officials are that incompetent?

My intention is to point out, if you watch the film, his foreword progress is stopped twice before he reaches the ball across the line. I don't thing this is going to be a popular opinion, but it's there, watch the film. How the fp rule is applied allows refs to determine the outcome of games and that needs changing. We put ourselves in this position. We play aggressive. Maybe a bit to aggressive this game.

I agree, however the momentum was a nano second of stoppage.

While we're talking about forward progress, it wouldn't hurt to take a look at our shoes for slippery surfaces. Looked like we were wearing roller skates on several plays last night. Not so much with Purdue.

Yes. I recall Fulmer having the team bring 3 pairs of shoes for each player, different length cleats for the field conditions. Coaching error. I think it would have made a huge difference if our guys had just a little better footing.

Informative? NO. If does not matter that his feet are moving laterally. His body was still going forward. It is reviewable, so the refs should have reversed the call. However, I might agree that pulling the ball carrier might be a penalty. But, that was not called, so it's moot.

It is not reviewable, ask any official or rules analyst. Once they ruled forward progress, that ended the play. Forever.

The rule is stupid, and I would bet it gets changed this off-season. It’s screwed us twice now, against Ole Miss and Purdue. As soon as I saw them say forward progress I told my wife we were screwed

They get to end the play calling forward progress and THAT is not reviewable, but the spot they place the ball Is. if they blew the whistle with the ball at the one that is the only correct spot. Good call or not. If they blew the whistle with the ball across the goal that is the only correct spot. The rule declaring spots near the goal has been featured here multiple times. What else can be reviewed except ball at time of whistle?

Regardless of it being reviewable or not....what kind of bush league, amateur, rookie, trainee ref goes into a bowl game on 4th and goal in overtime with the game on the line and calls forward progress on what could be and was the final play of the game?? That's amateur hour plain and simple.

He will be driving a crimson SUV in the near future with the license plate "SankeyOKs".
If anyone thinks that poor excuse for an officiating crew would make that call or not call the hold/PI on Till if it was Sabin bama... I have a bridge to sell you

It actually is reviewable according to the rule book

Very few plays are actually ruled forward progress stopped. All of those other plays are reviewable, you can check the spot, you can find fumble recoveries, all sorts of things.

But if the play is stopped and forward progress is called, it is 1,000,000,000,000% not reviewable
