audit2 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 white's lost td not open to reviewby steve wychethe atlanta journal-constitutionpublished on: 10/22/07 new orleans it was a play teeming with potential controversy that denied the falcons a touchdown that could have proven pivotal in their 22-16 loss to host new orleans sunday.wide receiver roddy white tightroped down the left sideline after catching a deep pass from joey harrington early in the fourth quarter and raced into the end zone for what would have given atlanta a 20-14 lead.however, white was ruled out of bounds at the 7-yard line for a 32-yard gain. he begged coach bobby petrino to challenge the call and petrino seemed inclined to, until he was informed the play could not be reviewed."i thought roddy was in on that catch," petrino explained. "they didn't call it that way. it was not a reviewable play. once they call him out of bounds, you can't review it."atlanta settled for a 21-yard morten andersen field goal and a 16-14 lead.

FalconFan13 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 fair enough.missed call by the refs. happens.what petrino should be held accountable for is the punt.i can't even blame him for the punt it was the right call with 2minutes left 3 timeouts and a 4th and 10+. if we turn the ball over right there they can gain 15-20 yards kick a fg and pretty much completly put us out of the game. if our defense stuffed the run like they was supposed to knowing it was coming with those 3 time outs we get the ball back around our 40 to 45 with 1:30 left and a good chance to win the game.

falcon124 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 i can't even blame him for the punt it was the right call with 2minutes left 3 timeouts and a 3rd and 10+. if we turn the ball over right there they can gain 15-20 yards kick a fg and pretty much completly put us out of the game. if our defense stuffed the run like they was supposed to knowing it was coming with those 3 time outs we get the ball back around the 45 with 1:30 left and a good chance to win the game.you sir, are wrong. that was not playing to win the game. the saints needed just 1 first down to run out the clock and the odds of them doing that were in their favor. that was a bad call and you can't convince me otherwise because of the way the rest of the games have gone this year.
