@ColeMecham@PhilFer13116119@Evan_Hand Out of hand if the ref doesn’t see. If the coach has the ref attention he probably doesn’t even need to throw it.
Love the new owners! Seriously, you guys are making being a Broncos fan even sweeter every single day.
The Hollywood-level video production, the light shows, hundreds of thousands spent on fireworks for the halftime show, the 5K cameras for press conferences, hundreds of thousands spent on fresh grass every year to keep the field safe and the prettiest in the league, the giant scoreboard. Diehard fans who watch every moment notice it all. And we appreciate your commitment.
I’m the only Broncos fan in my family, but my wish has always been to take my mom and dad to a game so I could show them the atmosphere and energy that make being a Broncos fan feel like a privilege. I finally got them to commit and spent over $1,200 on four tickets to the Christmas game against Buffalo. After seeing everything you put into a regular Week 6 game against Seattle, I can’t even imagine what you’ll do for a Christmas Day game with the one seed potentially on the line. It’s going to be an unbelievable experience.
Honestly, I’m glad it took this long for them to say yes, because thanks to you guys, there’s never been a better time to bring them into Broncos Country.

@BrandonPerna Great move. I don’t think we anticipated how losing Dre Greenlaw would effect our Run Defense. He was in the 92nd percentile last year against the run.
Correct. The refusal to forgive was never about missing words. It was about the resentment she refuses to release. Forgiveness belongs solely to the one who was wronged, and it is the only path to her own freedom, whether an apology is ever given or not.
You can watch her deliberately try to break the woman who shot her, pushing for tears and guilt because she wants her to feel the same pain. That is the cycle continuing. Forgiveness is the only thing that ends it. It is not required, easy, or even expected. It’s the hard choice that requires real strength. Anyone can stay bitter. Not everyone can choose to be free.
The original point was that it wasn’t “two plays later.” It was one play. The Panthers ran the next snap while the previous play still had a challenge pending because the flag had already been thrown. If you want to argue the refs shouldn’t have gone back, we can do that, but you’d be wrong on the rules too.
The rule doesn’t require the officials to stop the play in real time. It requires the flag to be thrown before the next legal snap. Which year was. New York was able to get involved and verify the flag was thrown before the Panthers snapped the ball as you can clearly see in this image. This isn’t even a unique situation.
Almost every Sunday a team will run a play and the officials will come out and say, “Prior to the snap, timeout.” When a coach calls a timeout or throws a challenge flag before the subsequent snap, there is no debate about what to do. The play is wiped out.
The idea that it was somehow unfair for New York to verify the timing of the challenge flag is hard to take seriously. The rule is clear: a challenge is initiated the moment the flag is thrown before the next snap. When the on-field crew misses it, the Replay Official has the authority to use every available angle to confirm whether that happened. That is exactly what occurred here.
This is not some unprecedented intervention. There are plenty of instances where a coach clearly signals or yells for a timeout and the ball is still snapped, or where officials have to sort out the precise timing of a challenge after the fact. Those moments are usually accepted without controversy. The only difference here is that the outcome was consequential, so people are suddenly developing selective amnesia about how these things have always worked.
And again, it was an interception. Complaining that the correct call was ultimately made only reveals that you care more about getting away with the wrong one than you do about the league getting it right. The irony is that your entire argument depends on the claim that the NFL cannot be trusted to get these calls correct.
