Was there a flag thrown?

[fgb]

who cares? tackle someone.

[duke09hms]

Special teams cost us.

[CDu]

Was there a flag thrown?

Yes, and a call was made. And then in the summary review the official said the block in the back was overturned.

Come on, 200 yards in penalties and we are carping about a lack of call on a fluke play that we never should have let happen because of a missed flag?

How could we not have finished better than that?

I think the refs blew that one.

Especially since the replay showed an unquestionable block in the back around the Miami 15-20 yard line.

*EDIT* After reviewing the replay, the block in the back was on the Miami 17.

Was there a flag thrown?

Tv said there was a flag.

plus they missed the real block in the back on the Miami 15-20 yard line.

#1 was also down at the 25 yard line.

or just don't get cute on the kick.

Was there a flag thrown?

Yes. They called Miami for a block in the back on the 25 yard line. But, when they went back to review whether the laterals were legal they changed their mind about the illegal block. I'm fairly sure I have never seen that before.

One of the worst ways to lose I have ever experienced...

Well..the refs, Cutcliffe, Scottie Montgomery, a HORRIBLY shanked punt and a miss on a very makeable FG all combined to blow it. Hate to say it, but we should never have let it come down to that last crazy play.

[duke09hms]

Ughhhhh should have just kicked it out. Make them hail mary

[eddiehaskell]

I understand a knee down can be reviewed and they could've ruled a touchdown based on that...but they also addressed the block in the back which is a penalty. So apparently a penalty CAN be overturned. I'm still scratching my head. I'm also scratching my head as to how he was hit hard "in the side" yet went forward.

Didn't Pete Carroll lose a game on a similar kick a few weeks ago?

Get sneaky on the kick, get beat by a sneakier play. Hard to be too upset.

Oh I agree. But even still, the rules are the rules... right?

I agree. I'm quite sure Cut learned a lesson he won't ever forget (but man, I hope we're never in THAT position again!)

[subzero02]

The refs made the right call in terms of overturning the block in the back. You can review a flagged block in the back to see if it was actually from the side; they have been doing this all year... I have seen quite a few called blocks in the back get overturned this season. You cannot retroactively call a block in the back during a review. Good play and execution by Miami... it ain't over till it's over and reviewed for 9 minutes.

I will agree with that. Ecstasy to Agony in 6 sec.

oops it's upside down but you get the idea.
