Did Singletary's challenge faux pas save us the game | Page 2

When Singletary challenged a play that was unchallengeable that negated a 14 yard run that would have given the Raiders a first and goal. Instead they had to kick a field goal and never got in distance of putting us away when we were struggling.

I saw the highlight of the Jay Cutler S vs Seattle...that one was far more borderline than ours...

didn't the Ref even say, "there was no fumble the whistle blew to stop forward progress making this non reviewable?"

yeah but that was after the flag was already thrown

Exactly. The official blew him off when he asked for an explanation, so he threw the flag at him. Say what you want...he was trying to create a oause in the game and interrupt the Raiders' offensive rhythm. I saw the whole thing, and it looked contrived.

Personally, I think officials avoid him on purpose.

You're giving Sing way too much credit . . . way too much. So what was his intent for not throwing the flag on the safety??

Because he was not going to win the challenge. The refs woulda said that he was stopped and the whistle blew before the safety call. I dont believe to be in the head of sing, but this call was a smart move rather on purpose or not.
