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...

there's a difference, you can review and determine that a player did in fact step out of bounds, however if the rule on the field was that they stepped out of bounds, you cannot then reverse it through review
there's an article on football zebra that says out of bounds is reviewable as it pertains to a touchdown or a first down, and they go on to say that a player can be awarded "an additional step" if they were incorrectly ruled out of bounds and were close to a touchdown or first down [Reply]

It was the opposite - he was ruled OOB but wasn't. But the Pats were out of challenges. Maybe the end zone counts as "line to gain" here.
Yep, seems to be subjective though. I'm looking for an NFL article, but football zebras state that the player can be awarded an additional step towards a first down or touchdown if they are incorrectly ruled out of bounds on review.
my guess is the Patriots play probably would have been ruled a touchdown [Reply]
**********
Item 1. Runner Inbounds.*A ruling that a runner was out of bounds is reviewable only to determine: (a) the spot of the ball in relation to the line to gain or the goal line at the spot where the runner was ruled to have touched out of bounds; (b) if the runner fumbled the ball before taking two additional steps beyond the spot where he was ruled out of bounds; or (c) if the ball broke the plane of the goal line in the runner’s possession before taking two additional steps beyond the spot where he was ruled out of bounds.

it seems that as long as they achieved a first down or touchdown within two additional steps the call can be reversed to inbounds and a first down or touchdown [Reply]
Either way, the Josh Allen play is clearly not reviewable. This kind of makes sense to me. I think the fact that the pass was incomplete makes it easier to stomach.
It's obvious that a completed pass cannot be awarded after he was ruled out of bounds, because the defense would have given up on the play. [Reply]

One of my old Navy buddies that I keep in touch with on Facebook is originally from Buffalo and is a lifelong Bills fan. He was completely disgusted by that.
The media has gone back to not showing the Anthem during regular season games. I didn't even realize that was still a thing.
Buffalo ain't New York City. I can't imagine that went over very well with most of their fans. [Reply]

I'm surprised Andy wasn't all over that. He knows the rule book inside and out. [Reply]
I’ve watched every single talking head review I can find, and not a single person has mentioned the Bill’s Bush League Bullshit toward the end. [Reply]

Yeah but if it was the Chiefs pulling that it would be the headline on every show. [Reply]
