Poor Devin Thomas

WaldSkins · 09-22-2008, 01:27 AM

Poor Devin Thomas, he gets his first NFL touchdown overturned by a flagrant foul call that had nothing to do with the play. If i was him, i would have started to cry even though Heyer was just retaliating for the way #90 took down Portis two plays earlier.

I dont think that this touchdown should have been overturned and it should have been assessed on the kickoff ala Reggie Bush last week. Thoughts on the call????

I think it was a piss poor call, plain and simple.

Well it was a cheap shot no doubt, but it shouldnt have negated the touchdown..

Officiating this year has been horrendous. These guys are humans and will make mistakes, but they need to do a better job league-wide.

Bonehead play by Heyer...

Thomas will still get his TD next week when we light up Dallas.

I think we all agree it was a bad call, but luckily it didn't have any major influence on the game. Bad calls are bad calls and as soon as that flag is thrown there is really nothing we can do about it other than deal with it and move on. Let's just be glad we arn't SD who should have won the game over a blown call.

Yes but why was it assessed on the play? Shouldnt it have been added to the kickoff. I just thought that it had no effect on the play and shouldnt have cancelled the 6 points. Did the refs call this wrong?

it was because it was done before the TD wac scored.... IF Thomas had scored the TD, then had he done that, thats when they would have addd it to the kickoff

Not true because Reggie Bush did his little mocking thing before the TD and his was assed on the kick off. It is BS!

Interesting point...but technically accurate.
That touchdown by rule should have been called back...correct?
or is there some sort of stipulation for taunting fouls?

mooby · 09-22-2008, 04:47 AM

I think that it was a clear cheap shot by Heyer. Like 4thGen said if it had happened after the play then it would've been assessed on the kickoff, but unfortunately that's not the way it went down. I immediately felt bad for Thomas, he hasn't had a great start and I think if that touchdown was upheld his confidence would be skyhigh right now and he would be a lot happier person.

But if it happened during the play, why was it a foul? I thought you are allowed to block during a play, right? He shoved the guy in the chest didn't he?

Head shot, to the side of the head.
