Hmmmm. No counter to the argument that Fowler's forward progress was stopped?

Yeah, it's complete and totally bullshite for fhe refs to see a guy fumble the ball THEN blow the whistle and THEN AFTER THAT try to claim this forward progress was stopped and thus it can't be reviewed. I've seen plays go exactly like that one time and again over the years and never have I seen it go down like that. That type of play where the ball comes out BEFORE a whistle is blown is always either called a fumble without a review, especially when the guy is still straight straight fricking up, or they at least review it. Like I said earlier in this thread, this was jsut one of a long line of horrid calls going back to the start of this season and even seasons past that when you add them all up makes it clear that the SEC is a fricking joke when it comes to refs and officiating.

What is there to argue? The whistle indicates forward progress being stopped. There was a replay that clearly showed the ball was out before the whistle. It's pretty black and white.

I'm surprised so many of you won't admit it was a blown call. Unless I misunderstand the replay rules it would have 100%, no doubt been overturned.
