Now that's some bullshit. If Jeff Triplette still has a job when he wakes up in the morning I won't be happy.

Very dodgy call that, maybe he ruled that the hit on the foot wasnt enough to bring him down and was still in control of the ball whilst going forward. When that is the case he needs to be touched again when ging down after that right?

Well, no, because Chapman tripping him definitely forced him to go down. They ruled there was no contact when there absolutely indisputably was.

No I mean that somebody can be touched but it doesn't cause the player to go down, does a player need to be touched again if he remains in control of the ball and moves forward and goes down on his own? Does the first touch still count? I'm just trying to find an explanation in the rule book here.

The Falcons third TD was just very lucky. The ball was tipped and bounced up of the guys shoe!! The majority of the Packers thought the play was dead so didnt react fast enough. That could have happened to Manning.

Well, yeah, if he breaks a tackle he needs to be tackled again. Just, BJGE didn't, and the refs ruled that Chapman didn't touch him, so that's irrelevant.

Dan Marino just said on the half time show that Triplette needs to start looking for a new job. Absolutely.

Well than that would be the only explanation there is for that call, still a wrong call, but at least it's a call. Maybe he was in the replacements group in 2011 <laugh>
 
Haha wow, only just seen that Lawfirm TD, pathetic refereeing.

You could just about make a case that although clearly he did trip over his hand that you can't see for sure that the hand did touch him (As in, I didn't see any slow-mos or freeze frames where you can actually see the hand definitively touching him) and perhaps it was just a ghost or something, but the fact that the ruling on the field was down makes that makes it a match-fixingly level bad call.

If it helps, there's definitive footage now that shows there was contact, so any case like that can now be thrown out. It's just an undeniably incorrect and inexplicable call.
