  • And you wonder why fans get fed up with NFL rules!

    Try to make some sense out of this shit:


    The NFL admitted Tuesday that the Browns forced Derek Carr to fumble in the fourth quarter of the Browns' 45-42 overtime loss to the Raiders and that the play should not have been blown dead, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
    With 5:54 remaining in regulation and the Browns up 35-34, Myles Garrett and Genard Avery combined to strip-sack Carr, and Larry Ogunjobi recovered.
    But the refs blew the whistle and ruled Carr stopped for forward progress, robbing the Browns of the turnover in the crucial point in the game. Garrett and Avery still combined for a 3-yard sack, but didn't get the strip.
    The Browns got the ball back at their 35 after a fair catch interference call against the Raiders, and Nick Chubb scored on his 41-yard TD three plays later to increase the Browns' lead to 42-34.
    "Watch the passer on this play,'' said Senior Vice President of Officiating Al Riveron says, at about 2:38 in the video. "We rule passer stopped for forward progress and we kill the play. This is not forward progress. Obviously this is a fumble, we should not have blown the whistle. But because we ruled forward progress on this play, this play is not reviewable.
    "This play would only be reviewable if it pertains to the line to gain or the goal-line. So again, once the official ruled forward progress, the only way that play is reviewable either via a challenge or a booth review is if pertains to the line to gain or the goal-line.''
