I say petitioner #58 is exactly right. especially since the charger player was the only one who could and did recover the ball, regardless of whistle..
I support this petition. Wholeheartedly, the worst call I have seen in football since the 5th down Missouri vs Colorado! Sorry, this was a completely missed call, that truly he knows was wrong, games cannot, and should not be decided by a blown call.
I support this petition. and feel that Ed should have corrected his mistake by explaining to Denver that he blew the wistle too early and the fumble stands.. How hard would that be?? to do the right thing..
I support this petition. If a referee mistakenly blows a call dead, they should be able to call the play as it appears in the replay. A ref should not be able to change the outcome of a game!
I support this petition.
Houchuli is "suppose" to be one of the best in the business but from what I saw last evening he is one of the worst officials in the league! He needs to be suppended until he learns to call a game correctly!.
I support this petition. Players are financially held accountable when their conduct is un-acceptable. This guy cost a team to go 0-2 instead of 1-1. Somethings not right in Denver!
I support this petition.
NFHS Umpire, NFL Season Ticket owner (4 seats). Very disgusted with the call. Umpires will get to gether and ask one another if someone had a better angle on the play...and we get the call right!
