The kicker missed a FG and tanne threw a pick in OT. That 1st down didn't cost us the game

Gotta try...He had that yardage
Real time I thought we had it too, wanted a challenge. After seeing the replay, I wasn't sure, and there certainly wasn't enough to overturn it. Philbin felt the same.
Your nickel and diming Philbin when he made the right call.
Did he? I mean sure I have seen refs spot that ball better but it wasn't a god awful spot and I rewinded the play several times. He needed to be on the 32 and I don't think he got all the way there . . . though I think he was a few inches further than the spot.
Point is, the Fins had one timeout left and Philbin knows that wasn't getting overturned. For all we know, Philbin challenges that call, loses and then with those change of events the whole game is changed and the Fins end up wishing they had that timeout and we are crucifying him for wasting it on a play he should of known that wasn't getting overturned.
Whether we made the spot or not . . . . that wasn't getting overturned.
For the record I like Philbin but he should have threw the flag...the knee's stayed up a long time.
Isn't this the entire thing? The entire catch 22? Players, Coaches etc will never win w/o winning against "fans." Damned if you do damned if you don't. So i say be damned and do!
