In 1993 the Chiefs went into Buffalo and we watched helplessly as our favorite football team, the Kansas City Chiefs, dropped passes and got concussed and allowed counter trey barbarians to rape our women and pillage our BBQ establishments until nothing was left for us but a bunch of game manager bullshit for literal decades and we never got that close to the Super Bowl ever again until PATRICK FUCKING MAHOMES came to town and now he's here and now the stupid Bills are here and BABY it is time for some mother FUCKING...

Talking about small details can get tedious but they are the difference in games/plays. On the Chiefs monster reverse to Hardman every player is doing the small things. Cheating their stance, selling the fake, not getting penalized for a block in the back, etc ... pic.twitter.com/OwsIT3oTrX
*************
Just before halftime of Sunday’s AFC Championship Game, Bills quarterback Josh Allen took the snap, rolled to his right, and threw the ball away an instant before stepping out of bounds at the 9-yard line. The officials mistakenly ruled him out of bounds. And then the NFL officiating department made a much bigger mistake.
The replay assistant buzzed down to the on-field referee, who then consulted with NFL head of officiating Al Riveron. They looked at the review and found that Allen had thrown the ball away before he stepped out of bounds. So they changed the call to an incomplete pass.
Big problem: That’s not a reviewable play. When a player in possession of the ball is ruled out of bounds, that’s the end of the play. Nothing that happens after that can be reviewed, even if there’s clear and obvious video evidence that the player didn’t actually step out of bounds.

Sounds like grounds for being fired if this is correct
I always assumed this was reviewable. An example would be a player fumbling the ball before stepping out of bounds, but ruled that they were out of bounds before fumbling. I thought a play like that could be reversed if there was clear recovery.

Another edit. Apparently NFL's list of cases reviews this specific situation
******
The NFL's replay case book lists this specific example, when a quarterback is ruled to have stepped out of bounds before releasing the ball.
"On this type of play," the conclusion reads, "when a player is ruled out of bounds, replay cannot make it a pass (forward or backwards)."
*******
in the end it doesn't matter, but the fact that something was reviewed when it can't be reviewed is a big deal [Reply]
So a couple years ago vs. us, when the Pats got screwed because they were out of challenges on the OOB call that should have been a TD - that couldn't reviewed anyway? [Reply]

My understanding is no, it's not reviewable. If the whistle blows it dead how can they give the player additional yards afterwards based on review [Reply]

ARTICLE 4. NON-REVIEWABLE PLAYS. The following play situations are not reviewable:
(a) Fouls, except for Article 5(g) and (j) below.
(b) Spot of the ball and runner:
(1) Runner ruled down by defensive contact or out of bounds (not involving fumbles or
the line to gain).
(2) The position of the ball not relating to first down or goal line.
(3) Whether a runner’s forward progress was stopped before he went out of bounds or
lost possession of the ball.
(4) Whether a runner gave himself up. [Reply]

I don't think a runner stepping out of bounds is the same. Those get challenged and overturned all the time. Happened to Reek last night. [Reply]
I hope the Bills never win another game after sitting out the anthem. It's bad enough that the league never misses an opportunity to politicise everything. Fuck the Bills [Reply]

this was ruled out-of-bounds on the field and the Pats are out of challenges to get it reversed
