There has been at least 4 comments that a Mtl receiver was offside on their game winning TD last night
I say really? Where?
Note the TSN score board. 4th quarter 3 and 3 1 minute 25 on the clock
In this shot you can see the ball has not been snapped and no-one is offside
In this shot the ball has been snapped, still no-one offside
I have been saying for years that the shotgun formation is deceiving. By the time your eye picks up the ball a receiver can appear to be offside when he is not. 2 or 3 yards however…
Try counting the number of Als seen in those two images - there are only 11. The receiver who was way offside cannot be seen in the pictures because he was between the hashmark and the sidelines.
People who were at the game saw the offside. The radio announcers calling the game saw it (and please don't say they are homer announcers - Bob Irving is not a homer).
…good work blueblood…i would tend to believe a first hand account…especially that of Bob Irving…so take it from there…The als were off-side…Of course that was just one of the bad calls that this game had…take your pick…I would have to say the als were gifted
How do you claim that the Als were offside when you watched the game on tv and it shows no-one offside?
Its a very simple question and everyone is ignoring it.
You constantly defend the refs and here is proof that the refs were not wrong. Rather than back me up, you want more proof from me rather than from the sore losing ref bashers
I wont be posting because this place will never change.
RO, I am only debating with you because I miss doing so. I dont even remember the play in question, I just question that your pics prove anything either way. Personally, I hope you are right.
You’re making an assumption that all of the people who have commented watched it on TV. I wasn’t at the game but I trust Bob Irving’s play calling because he tells it like it is whether it’s good or bad. He wouldn’t have said it was offside if it wasn’t.
As well, people who were at the game have said it was offside.
