After rewatching the game, the punt return hold was very minor and a flag didnt appear until after dunkley had broke free and late....the fumble looks like a forward pass to me....not making excuses we were getting whooped regardless but they seemed to deflate our team and were real turning points in the game

The punt return could have changed the whole game.

I agree. We still lose, but these were momentum changers. The fumble call was reviewed, too. I haven't seen the film. Only live. I thought white was in the middle of a forward pass. It was right in front of me

There are moments like that in most games. The punt return in this one ... plus, if Lamar reacts a second sooner on that goal line pass deflection, he has a pick 6 and the score goes to 28-14, rather than 35-7.

I thought they were really dumb rulings. Seems like the refs were going to make us lose that game no matter what we did.

The fumble was a forward pass. Even the game announcers were scratching their heads. The ball does not go flying 15 yards through the air without his arm already moving forward.

I did not see the punt return replay.

The punt return was a 14 point swing that hurt. However i still don't understand why taggart brought flowers in after the 75 yard TD when he should have let white go the next drive to see if the offense could get something going. As far as the fumble I thought it was incomplete as his arm was going forward but I'm so used to having bad calls on us I'm used to it now
