GA was robbed of what should have been a safety, 2 pts by way of either of 2 interpretations
intentional grounding in the end zone,
or, the OL who recovered the fumble did not get out of the end zone.
after the punt, GA got a TD on one pass play. still a 3-I4 score GA leading.
Both teams were playing good defense for sure.
Yeah, I still have zero clue how they did not overturn that safety call. It was so abundantly clear that the lineman was down in the end zone.
I agree. I think the fact there was some question over if the QB's arm was moving forward I think the easy way out was to just say 4th down on the half yard line.
I think sometimes the refs get in to a sticky situation and if given a easy way out they take it....sort of "no harm, no foul". A sanctioned "do over" if you will.
I don't always like it, but I get it. Take the best way out with the least amount of harm to either team. You see it in baseball a lot with balls and strikes. The plate ump misses a pitch, then on the next one he gives it back. Any sport for that matter you see the officials try to even things out when given a chance.
