Discuss. I noticed it in the game but damn it is more blatant looking at it now than ever.

He should not of expected the call, I don't follow football but sometimes things go unnoticed in sports

Yeah, I think that definitely could be. But with the way the refs completely botched that game, he should have never expected a call to go in the Panthers' favor haha.

Yeah, that was the first thing I noticed on that play too. I was like "Free Play!" and then nothing happened.

The offsides call in football is almost impossible to miss. A defender moves before the offense moves and there's two officals staring at the line of scrimmage before anything happens.

Aren't all turnovers reviewed? If so shouldn't it have been brought back anyway because he was offside or does that not count?

I don't think they can go back and call penalties after reviews if they hadn't already called the penalty.

I see, they should really in a game of this importance, I mean he's not even close to not being offside

Penalties aren't a reviewable call and that's the way it should be. I mean could you imagine reviewing every big offensive play looking for a holding? You'd find one on every play and the ball would never move up the field.

Now all that being said, it's an incredibly egregious mistake to miss that penalty, it was easy to see.
