Super Bowl: "The rookie Darwin Thompson, out of Utah State"
I may have made a happy squeal when the announcers mentioned Thompson as being from USU, and so early in the game too. Good little blurb for the Aggies and both the program and legacy they've been building the past few years. While I'm not a huge fan of either team, I hope Darwin has a good game.

I thought he was in. Would have liked to see a replay.

Re: Super Bowl: "The rookie Darwin Thompson, out of Utah State"
Darwin is officially a better running back than Barry Sanders! Along those same lines, freakboy can be proud of the fact that Chad Henne is now a better quarterback than Dan Marino! LKGates would know a number of Beaver fans who are now proud of Matt Moore as well becoming a better quarterback than Marino!

I’m surprised his attempt wasn’t reviewed.

Too bad he couldn’t punch it in and then couldn’t catch the pass in the next drive. After that he really didn’t see the field.
Go Grizzlies, Jazz, Real SL, Seahawks, USA! Go Aggies!

Re: Super Bowl: "The rookie Darwin Thompson, out of Utah State"
Trust he will benefit from being on a SUPER BOWL Championship team. Tough he didn't get a review on the one yard run,,,showed a lot of trust in Darwin to give him the ball coming in cold especially in that situation.

Re: Super Bowl: "The rookie Darwin Thompson, out of Utah State"
Almost every Nfl player would have dropped the pass as he was blasted as soon as his fingers touched the football. The goal line play may have been a touchdown. I think it was but there would have been no evidence to overturn the call.

If that run had been a star running back, I think they would have reviewed it and given the back the benefit of the doubt.ThunderAggie wrote: ↑February 3rd, 2020, 7:51 amAlmost every Nfl player would have dropped the pass as he was blasted as soon as his fingers touched the football.

Re: Super Bowl: "The rookie Darwin Thompson, out of Utah State"
The ball was already through his fingers when he got hit, but you’re right, most wouldn’t have caught it after the hit.ThunderAggie wrote: ↑February 3rd, 2020, 7:51 amAlmost every Nfl player would have dropped the pass as he was blasted as soon as his fingers touched the football.

Re: Super Bowl: "The rookie Darwin Thompson, out of Utah State"
OMG they let a T.D. not get counted in the Super Bowl because the R.B. is not a star ? You do know that play will be reviewed, and watched over and over again, if they made a mistake that is not the reason.aggies22 wrote: ↑February 3rd, 2020, 9:17 amIf that run had been a star running back, I think they would have reviewed it and given the back the benefit of the doubt.ThunderAggie wrote: ↑February 3rd, 2020, 7:51 amAlmost every Nfl player would have dropped the pass as he was blasted as soon as his fingers touched the football.

Re: Super Bowl: "The rookie Darwin Thompson, out of Utah State"
Unlike college, the booth doesn’t stop game play to review a call in the NFL. Chiefs would have had to challenge the ruling to get a review. If they would’ve called it a TD, it would have automatically been reviewed as all scoring plays are reviewed.aggies22 wrote:If that run had been a star running back, I think they would have reviewed it and given the back the benefit of the doubt.ThunderAggie wrote: ↑February 3rd, 2020, 7:51 amAlmost every Nfl player would have dropped the pass as he was blasted as soon as his fingers touched the football.

Re: Super Bowl: "The rookie Darwin Thompson, out of Utah State"
With some of the egregious, blatant no-calls that I have seen made. You're damn right I believe that. Remember the no-call a year ago that cost the Saints a Super Bowl berth? Refereeing in general at the professional level is hit and miss at best.oleblu111 wrote: ↑February 3rd, 2020, 9:47 amOMG they let a T.D. not get counted in the Super Bowl because the R.B. is not a star ?

Re: Super Bowl: "The rookie Darwin Thompson, out of Utah State"
Football is full of people that make mistakes, coach's players, ref's and gasp even Fans. I do not see conspiracy at the level others do. Of course I did not think D.T. gained anything on the run.aggies22 wrote: ↑February 3rd, 2020, 9:57 amWith some of the egregious, blatant no-calls that I have seen made.

Refereeing is a difficult job, and of course mistakes are made, it is part of the game. Conspiracy I do not buy that at all.

Some refs can't even see a 6'5" 275 lb rhino landing on top of a ultra bright white dude with alopecia holding the ball. 3 of them didn't see it.aggies22 wrote: ↑February 3rd, 2020, 9:57 amWith some of the egregious, blatant no-calls that I have seen made.

Re: Super Bowl: "The rookie Darwin Thompson, out of Utah State"
. After further review perhaps they were blinded by this white dudes near transparent color.

Re: Super Bowl: "The rookie Darwin Thompson, out of Utah State"
I thought he was in, but with KC being so close and with downs to work with- what was the risk reward of challenging? It was a large enough pile even if he is in, there may not have been enough evidence. They punched it in the very next play. It’s a team game. It would have been cool for us to see DT score, but he’s a super bowl champion.
