First, Cundiff’s kick wasn’t for the win – it was for overtime.
Second, Woodhead fumbled, not Edelman.
Otherwise, great roundup of the game story.

Plays cant be reviewed if there inside the 2 min mark.

I didn’t say that Baltimore could challenge it; I was wondering why it wasn’t reviewable upstairs. Someone mentioned that it was because it was initially ruled incomplete, which I agree is the current rule. My problem is that the general rule inside of 2 minutes should be something like “If either team can legally challenge a given play outside of 2 minutes, it should be eligible for review by the officials inside of 2 minutes.” I think complete/incomplete would fall within those parameters.

And as far as the actual play, I thought instantaneous possession was the necessity in the endzone, unless the receiver is falling to the ground. If that’s not the case, then the catch/no catch play in the endzone doesn’t make any sense either.

Maybe this should be looked at along with the tuck rule and blocked field goal behind the line of scrimmage on a down other than 4th. The latter is the dumbest rule in the book.

CBS is reporting Chip Kelly to Tampa Bay? Of course they’re not the most reliable recently…

Figured he could be expected to haul in an easy game winning TD pass. I was obviously wrong.

That team deserved better than to lose like that. Evans turned out to be a disasterous pickup

Lee "9 Route" Evans. Ask him to do anything other than go deep and you're asking too much.

I would dedicate my life disocvering a way to have you skip HIV and go straight to full blown AIDS. Probably get Brad Pitt and his monkeys involved at some point.

You don’t get AIDS you stupid bastard you get HIV. Maybe if you spent some more time reading CDC documentation instead of trumpeting up a guy who faked his own death to escape the trial he deserves you’d know what the hell you were talking about.

True, Paterno is worse…but not as evil as the tuck rule

I think we can all agree Paterno not ever having to face criminal charges and taking the coward’s way out by dying is worse than Ray or Ben getting off from their police investigations.

Hoping NE looses next week.

I can certainly get on board with that if it’s San Francisco, but if it’s the Giants I’d probably have to back New England, as sick as that sounds.

I don’t think I could stomach another “out of nowhere” run by the Giants. Twice in five years? Time to leave town…

ah, but I am NOT a Ravens fan and think Ray Lewis IS a murderer and should be in jail! I just thought it was a TD.

Let’s all get along and unite in something we can all get behind. Hoping NE looses next week.

sure…alleged.

No reason to provoke thought…just reminding people YOU cheer for a rapist

We cheer for an alleged rapist who was never charged. You cheer for a convicted thug who conspired to commit double murder. Just reminding you

Yeah Nick, everything set up their way and to lose like that to a team they outplayed is just…..dammit. i blame cundiff less than Evans. Evans should have sent them to the Super Bowl. Cundiff would have just tied it against a good offensive team on the road. Could have went either way.

Between Paterno and this loss, probably the worst sports day of my life.
