    I remember being upset at him for wasting a timeout during the game but just read this.

    (on of he thought Vince Young had scored a touchdown)

    No, what happened was that we had the wrong personnel on the field. We were going to take a timeout anyway and so rather than just take a timeout I took a shot at the review and threw the red flag instead of calling timeout.

    After reading that i actually agree with his idea but i also thought of something else, is it just me or do we seem to have problems getting the right personal on the field after a big play?

    ON TV it looked like the Ref was laughing after he talked to Fisher. Maybe Fisher told him this reasoning too?

    True. All the refs were getting a chuckle out of it. Even after Fish threw his red flag he had a huge smile on his face. I couldn't figure out why everyone thought it was so funny.

    So it was a freebie and he sort of went to bat for VY trying to get him a TD.

    Smart coaching...

    what confused me with this was that after the challenge they respotted the ball inside the 1 yard line (it was originally placed outside the 1 yard line) so doesnt this technically count as a won challenge b/c they corrected the spotting error...why did we lose a TO?

    Even though that play wasn't ruled a TD, I was quite happy with Vince's effort. I didn't think he had that speed anymore, but he certainly does.

    I was thinking the same thing but he was challenging to get a TD not the spot of the ball. If he had challenged to get a better spot it would not have cost us a TO.

    I think it was a bad call even if that was the reason. He wasted a challenge. If we needed it later it would have been a very bad call.
