Absolutely.

 

[arthurracoon]

yes, but it can't be challenged because the whistle blew

 

[imaCafan]

What play????

If your talking about Looker's catch before the field goal attempt, no it wasn't a fumble.

No, this thread was about the fumble caused by Adrian Wilson and picked up by Renaldo Hill but was ruled an incomplete pass.

No, this was the I. Bruce catch and fumble that wasn't reviewed because of the whistle! Another bad break for the Cards.

The officiating didn't cost us this game.

Passive play calling on defense cost us this game.

WHEN we blitzed, we sacked bluger and forced interceptions.

But when we rushed three or four, we got killed. Plain and simple.

The thread is about the Wilson tackle that caused the fumble that was called incomplete. It was very, very clear that the reciever caught the ball went three steps and the ball was cleanly knocked out before he was down and absoulutly should have been a fumble recovery and Cardinals first down deep in Lambs back yard. THe official blew the whistle and called the play and because of that which I don't get we were not allowed to challange the obviuos horid call by the ref. That cost us at least three points and in retrospect maybe the game. That being said, 4 and 7 no stop and the two most horrible thrown ball by a qb in a long time Blake!

I actually thought that play could have been an incomplete pass. After watching the replay over and over, it looked like the ball was slipping out , and just caught when Wilson hit him. The ball then popped loose. It looked like he did not have full control when Wilson hit him.

I saw it the other way, in fact the fans in my section countred the steps after the catch which in my eyes looked to be in his possesion as three. When it was replayed on the scoreboard. Three steps he wasn't down the ball was not called a fumble because the whistle was blown by a anxious official.

[MadCardDisease]

It was clearly a fumble but as soon as I saw the Ref talking with Mac I knew he was telling him that he couldn't review the play because it was blown dead.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Clearly a fumble.

Agreed, you could see the look on Mac's face was like "oh man let me guess the whistle blew right?"

The tight end was Brandon Manumaleuna. It was clearly a fumble and the refs didn't call it. How in the world do you NOT call that a fumble? If that were a Cards player they would have called that a fumble. We then would have challenged, chewed our fingernails for a few minutes, then have to listen to, "The ruling on the field stands. The receiver had possession but then lost the ball on the hit. Arizona is charged a time out. Rams ball on the 47. First down."
The Rams did have to punt but we got the ball on the 20 or something. Field position made a difference when we got the ball. That play was a kill shot on the Rams. And we get so few of them that it really hurt not to get it when we finally get one and deserved one. Oh well, I'm just venting here. I think that would have been the beginning of the end for the Rams that day.
