I was at the game today.
When we challanged the fumble, the rueling on the field was up held but we were NOT charged a time out.
Why?

It was ruled to be a non-reviewable play, and thus not reviewed. No time out lost.

The ruling was that it WAS a fumble but that the Jags initially recovered the ball

The refs pretty much had no clue what was going for this play. Had it been a close game this would have been another screwing of the Ravens by an officiating crew.

A fumble is not reviewable?
Now I am more confused...

First they ruled fumble, then it turned out, the whistle was first, so it became dead ball and 2nd down for JAX
The challenge result was, that the ball became loose before taking down, but then the runner brought in, and only after he was down was the (then dead) ball taken away. Loose ball during play cannot be challenged, so BAL wasn't charged with timeout.

or, that's how they said it

okay,
I THINK I understand...

That ref crew looked clueless on 3 or 4 plays, but came through when it counted 12 men on the field--I think there were 4 flags on the field.

So, it looks like the guy in charge of the referees is trying to clean up their act. They had counting class this past week. Anybody know what this week's lesson is?
