And for like a full second before the ball landed!

[u/Always_Chubb-y → u/MadeByMillennial]

The ball hadnt even touched a player when the clock hit 0

The ball hand crossed the GOAL LINE in the air when it hit 1 second

[u/jackcviers → u/Always_Chubb-y]

The attempted explanation that it was out of sync doesn't work, either, because then the play started a full second late. So if that's the answer, they got two free seconds.

[u/SaltyTurdLicker → u/jackcviers]

Only way to be out of sync would be refs aren’t starting a clock they only can see until a good second after the snap considering they asked the clock operator to change it from 8 to 9 before the snap.

[u/jackcviers → u/SaltyTurdLicker]

Right. So two free seconds. One when they didn't start the clock, and the extra second they added at the end while the ball was still falling, at least from the replay I watched. Otherwise, it was just at on even the delayed clock that only they can see, because the one on the camera started when the ball was snapped.

And they announced that the play was under further review, which requires indisputable video evidence to overturn. The replay showed the exact opposite, so... WTF?

[u/GrizzGump → u/Always_Chubb-y]

There’s not even like a half spin you could make on this, right? Is the ball supposed to be out when it crosses OOB? If not, then like what’s the angle? The clocks weren’t aligned?

[u/Always_Chubb-y → u/GrizzGump]

Even that wouldn't work, the ball hadnt even crossed out of the endzone at 1 second. It was 0 seconds everywhere
