Browns Dispute Bengals Game Winning Field Goal In OT

Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan believes Cincinnati Bengals kicker Shayne Graham actually missed his winning 31-yard field goal in overtime last weekend. "You can watch the tape," Ryan said. "I'm not saying anything, but man, maybe the posts were crooked. Look at it." Browns cornerbacks Brandon McDonald and Eric Wright both waved their arms to signal that they believed the kick was off the mark. "I don't want to get fined," Ryan said. "I pay enough money already on the house I don't even live in California. I don't want to make this a big story, but I was disappointed. Of course, I'm not an expert. That's why I'm saying maybe somebody else should look at it."

:Loco:

 

Way to not make a big story coach. :icon_rolleyes:

 

Sorry you can not afford the house you bought in California while coaching for the Raiders. Strike 2.

 

The first time I saw it, I thought he missed it.

 

Sounds like the Goodell fear factor has kicked in.:icon_eek:

 

I didn't see it but maybe - just maybe - this could be FG Karma coming back from the one they bounced over against Baltimore in '07. Like I said I didn't see it but that was the first thing that popped to mind.

 

I think they need cameras on the goal posts.

 

it looked like he missed when I was watching that game

 

Does anyone have a clip?

 

If I recall correctly, you can not challenge the ruling of a field goal.......Makes sense, right?

 

You are correct, that's why they need the cameras on the goal posts.

he missed it

 

looks like it went above the post to me and that would count

 

If that was a FG then it was a wicked freaking shank through the right side of the goal post.

They might have had a huge fan blowing the ball back into the right spot.

That looked like a bad call to me...

I thought he missed it 2.

 

I thought he missed it while watching... Still do.

 

You can't really tell in the angles of the second video. What about the first one?

 

In that angle it does look like he missed it

 

I've always thought he missed it also. Screw that, he did miss it. It does not go over and it does go behind the goal post in the video.

Epic fail by the refs and the league.
