With just about a minute and a half of the Jets Titans game, the booth called a challenge to a catch. Everyone was like "wtf are they challenging?". The ONLY thing to challenge there was the spot, which shouldn't have been challenged there anyway.

But here's where it bugs me. Then CBS (i believe) cuts out "per NFL rules they can't show the game past 4:15". Is that true? I bet it is, why was the game stopped to cost JUSt enough time to ruin the end of the game for broadcast viewers?.....trying to sell NFL network?

hmmm...............
 
Hmmm, that is odd, that challenge was completely pointless.
 
That's an issue between you and your local CBS affiliate. Ours stayed with the game until the end.
 
We got switched to the game after the KC game (blow out)

Some of us are college students on an incredibly strict budget that can't afford NFL sunday ticket. I have enough problems with them moving monday night to ESPN. I shouldn't have to pay for a game.

Yeah, i believe them too. i just thought it was a very odd call, and convenient at that :) They had JUST got back to the line when it cut out. Midwest, i'm in Ames Iowa.
 
same thing happened to me, and to the poster who replied i should get direct tv. i cannot direct tv has been out 3 times to my location, 2nd story condo facing the wrong location, and 3 times they said they cannot hook me up for direct tv. so for me its not an option. i think its bs at 4 16 they cut out on us

I always thought the rule was in effect. It would be trying to sell Sunday Ticket the NFL Network runs the radio broadcast and just has a scoreboard. I'm guessing the rival network in this case Fox wouldn't want the ratings to be negatively effected of their game if CBS was supposed to have an early game in your time zone.

Why should we pay to watch football??? Don't we spend enough on merchindise and tickets??? It's discusting, no football player in the world is worth near the money they make. Why do we have to spend more so Peyton Manning can make $100,000,000.00 dollars???? What has he ever done on a football field thats worth more then $100.00 a game??? Nothing!!! This is the problem with this sport.
