The Warner "arm going forward" call


I don't know if anyone else caught this one.... the call where Warner was hit and it was questioned whether his arm was going forward.... The ball hit Levi Brown in the hands like he was going to catch it. That play should have been an illegal touch, but it wasn't called.

Everyone was more concerned whether the ball was a fumble.... This drive lead to the Breaston touchdown (atleast I think this was the drive). Either way it was missed

I saw that too. I was half expecting a challenge and the ref coming away with a penalty.

The refs typically give a lot of leeway to rules like this when the QB is getting hit on the play (which Warner was)

No concerned in the least.

I mean the Cowboys were allowed 3 mulligans in the game, so why not?

Hey, just think of it this way, at least the refs were consistent.......consistently bad.

I thought so too, but Levi couldn't assume it was a pass either. If it's ruled a fumble and he doesn't make an effort to pick it up, then what??? What a big man supposed to do?

I dunno, block? I mean, he did have his hands free to get the ball. Surely there was some big lineman with a white jersey on he could've been pushing around... maybe the one who was tackling his quarterback. Just a thought.
