    regardless of what it was, we got lucky the call could have gone either way. it could have just as easily been obviously NOT a safety and refs called one. :shock:

    its nice to be lucky sometimes. :hihi:

    We need all the luck and good gris gris we can get!

    From what I saw, on TV, I thought it was a saftey...

    BUT

    Then ESPN showed a line-camera angle and I clearly saw KW spin, his back towards the field, and push across with his feet still pushing. He thrust his back outwards and then his butt touched the ground right on the line.

    But this is all opinion and we are now 988-25.

    clear⋅ly
    –adverb 1.in a clear manner: It is difficult to explain complex matters clearly. 2.without equivocation; decidedly: It is clearly out of the question to drop the case.


    Was it, really?

    Fixed. :wave:

    I was shocked it wasn't a safety but took the lack of extended protest from the red team as confirmation.

    the ball CLEARLY didnt cross the goal line and it was defintely DEBATEFUL if you think it did.

    we got away with one there -- move along, nothing to see here-- i mean what did they put the ball on the 1/8" line? as a matter of fact they did

    I saw it CLEARLY cross the line, as did the refs (obviously). Because of our back-and-forth, it makes the call debateful.

    I saw the ball, in KW's arm cross the line; it does not matter if the defenders then push him back into the endzone as long as it crossed at least once.

    OK, you guys are driving me bonkers...

    DEBATEFUL is not a real word! The word you're apparently thinking of is DEBATABLE.
