Tony Corrente is back with his crew today in Washington. Glad to see Tony back on the field again and wish him a continued speedy recovery.

Morelli overturned a Giants TD because they had 12 men on the field. Uh uh....they ruled the play an incomplete forward pass which was verified by the television replay (there were 12 men on the field also but there was no touchdown although the Giants would have gotten the ball on downs). |

It was right call by Morelli and crew. So far so good

Heading into halftime, Mike Carey has made two mic mistakes: He signaled offsides on a holding call and stated repeat 2nd down on a 1st down play.

Morelli just overturned a Giants TD based on a replay that I thought was inconclusive. The receiver's elbow may have been down, but there wasn't an angle that CLEARLY showed the elbow was on the turf.

Have to agree with zcr. While I think part of the elbow hit the turf before the ball came out the proof was below what is needed to overturn

Carey and crew missed a big late hit on final play of half in which Oakland blocked FG attempt, Giordano for Raiders returned it and was tackled and then well after whistle got hit again and injured by the hit. No flag. A penalty wouldve extended half and given Oakland a FG chance. There are always officials watching the action of the play so I don't understand how plays like this that are not viewed in crowd, are ignored. Happened at the end of the Houston/Indy in plain sight and that was ignored too. Why? I don't understand. I would've called it without question. Why are these type of calls missed?

Thank u #MikePereira
MikePereira (Twitter) Last time i'm saying this....I think his elbow was down(Jets). That's my opinion. It's how i would've called it.

Becky thinking it and indisputable visual evidence are different standards. Thought it was the former not the latter

There is a big difference between "his elbow is down" and "I think his elbow is down" This board show know this difference.

Someone on Morelli's crew with quick whistle prevents challenge

Incomplete pass/fumble is always a tough call...as it's been explained to me, in the field of play, if there's any doubt, they want it called an incomplete pass unless the official is convinced the player could have done a football act with the ball (not that he has to perform the act but be able to perform such an act).....it comes up quite a bit......once they rule incompete pass, I don't think it's subject to a challenge....the interesting thing is that if that same play takes place in the end zone, the call could be a touchdown and again not subject to replay.

Tuck rule play in the Jets-Giants game. Mark Sanchez attempts to throw a pass, pulls it towards his body, and has the ball knocked out of his hand by a defender. The play was ruled a fumble on the field and then overturned after a challenge.
I understand the tuck rule, but I don't think it applied here because the ball was knocked out of the QB's hand by a defensive player.
