Net result.... you gained 1 yard to 1 1/2 yards during the timeout you were going to take anyway? Ok, I saw this and thought this during the game, not now on Monday afternoon. I don't get paid millions to tell Gibbs to challenge, but someone does!!! Why don't they see these things that we all see?
It sounds that simple but to do that we would have had to let the clock keep running while our people up in the booth had a chance to review the play and then the spot of the ball. That would have run allot of time off the clock and we may have then decided that is was not worth a challange and then had to burn a time out still. We cannot call a time out then ask for a review because then we would have been charged with another time out.
