Green challenge meter
Another week has gone by and Green shows why he does not care. I am going to start keeping track now of all the non-challenge calls that Green has made. These are calls that either clearly would have been over-turned, or at least shown your players that you care and want to win. These all happened when he had a timeout left and when he could legally challenge.
St. Louis Rams (home) - we are going for it on a 4th and inches. Shipp crosses over the marker, but refs rule no-go. No hanky - close one, but should have challenged it. Replays were close.
Seattle Seahawks (road) - Anquan Boldin makes a beautiful one-hand grap 4 feet in bounds. But because it was so freakish, the ref's were fooled and ruled out-of bounds. The replays clearly show he was in bounds, the play is on third down and keeps a drive alive. Green does not throw the red flag.
Tennessee Titans (Home) Anquan makes another beautiful catch near sideline - ruled out. It would have kept a drive alive and provided good field position. Replays on big screen show he was in. Again, no challenge from Green.
Tennessee Titans - home - next series, same thing, but on other sideline. Anqan makes big third down catch, Green just stands there. This one was hard to tell if would have been overturned, but "Q" was very adament, yelling at the refs, challenging the play would have shown the team that you at least care.
Dallas Cowboys (road)- Shipp carries the ball well past the first down marker. His waist falls on the "yellow line." No challenge! This was an easy challenge victory.
I really am starting to dis-like our coach.
