Why did the ref wait until the punt was actually blocked to throw the flag?

How long do we have to read your complaints about this game?

It is getting called back one way or the other. It is either illegal procedure on the kicking team. Or offsides on the defense.

One call was missed
One was created to help Bama
Big difference.

Because Alabama boosters paid the B1G referees that worked in this football game to make sure Alabama didn't lose.

he didn't. he's basically at the sideline and the flag took that 1 second to fly to the point he threw it.

This is some tinfoil hat shite

He can't instantly get the flag out. You see it enter the view of the camera the second it gets blocked

The weird part is, in one single play, he missed an obvious infraction on Bama, and made up an infraction on UGA

That. I'm not sure some fans have watched games. Flags don't move at bullet velocities. Nor do they get pulled from the waist instantaneously.

My takeaway from this is that with 13 minutes left in the 3rd, UGA is up 13 points and Bama hadn’t even gotten on the board yet.

Wow

There's a difference here... had he been *actually* offsides, then yes, there can be debate as to whether he was drawn offsides or not. He wasn't, and the false start was not called... retroactively stating that they should have called a false start doesn't invalidate that the offsides was simply not accurate.

This isn't a "bitch about the refs" sort of comment, as there were plenty of other things that led to the outcome...

But out of curiosity, why is something like whether a QB crossed the line of scrimmage prior to throwing a ball, or whether a QB got outside the tackle box or not for intentional grounding reviewable, but offsides, which is objectively an even easier call to see on film, is not reviewed?

Independent of this game, there have been plenty of games I've seen where a player was ruled offsides, but the replay clearly shows that they weren't. I guess the concern is length of game, but it's just odd what is determined as reviewable vs not.

Honestly, and it's not an answer that's going to satisfy most people, developing plays are given higher priority because you simply cannot stop for a review every single time something may or may not have happened. The games would go on for 4+ hours.

Do you realize how long a game would last if every offsides, holding, procedure call is reviewed? How about we just remove the officiating crew from the field and every freaking play be reviewed by video to make sure every call is 100% accurate.

Why wasn't there a flag for pass interference called on the mugging Najee received in the back of the end zone on the tying touchdown play?

They don't just stand there with the flag in their hand.

I don’t understand these conspiracy threads. Isn’t it a lot less embarrassing to admit that Alabama is better at a game than to admit that Alabama is some sort of Illuminati pulling all the strings all over the country in a billion dollar business?

He didnt throw it right away, the sideline thing is marginal. more than likely took a bit to get the flag. sometimes they fumble for it

You can clearly see the Bama player move before the snap. If you're hounding the refs over making a mistake, and youre going to say 'what if', then I think you have to admit that if the refs were able to go back in time and make the right call, they would call a false start.

A false start would still render the play dead and make the block meaningless.

Unless of course you're advocating for the refs to ignore the false start, but only in this time, because, hey, that would be advantageous to your team...
