- Todd Bowles threw the challenge flag. This was widely considered to be a bad move
During week 5 of the 2024 NFL season on Thursday Night Football, in the second quarter of a game between the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bucs head coach Todd Bowles decided to throw a challenge flag on a Kirk Cousins fumble... even though it was blatantly obvious not a fumble, and even though a successful challenge actually would've benefitted the Falcons. This is a breakdown of the challenge that made no sense whatsoever

9:18 "Stevie Wonder serum"! That was a new one 😂
Well at least it's not bad clock management 😅
Yeah I was scratching my head about that one last night. Nothing about it made any sense at all.
When this happened I thought it was the falcons that challenged😂. Was really confused when I realized it was Tampa😅
As a lifelong Bucs fan and a Bowles supporter, I went ballistic. It was the dumbest thing.....
JG9 trying not to bust out laughing at the end 🤣
Wow, you really go Micky Mouse when excited. lol
😂
As soon as I saw that challenge flag, I knew this was gonna be a video. Todd Bowles has this weird habit of challenging the dumbest plays. Like you're gonna lose either a few yards or a time out regardless. Why on earth would you throw the challenge flag?
You mentioned John Fox’s dumb challenge. Future video teaser?
Not anyone is going to mention the intercept at the end of the game.
This was not the dumb decision. The interception on 4th down was. It has been hours since the game ended and I still have no answer to WHY ANYONE would intercept a ball on 4th down.
There are some good reasons to do that, the ones I mention here obviously don’t apply to this video.
Pass into the end zone from inside the 20 yard line - the touchback puts the ball at the 20, so a net gain.
The other is where the defender sees a clear path ahead to get beyond the line of scrimmage or even to get a TD with a decent return.
Stats. If there's anything I've noticed as a Falcons fan for decades is that NFC South rivals love themselves some useless stats.
Eh yeah it’s not a good decision but it’s not like the coach where they have time to make a playcall and think about it. The player doesn’t have much time to think and is relying on instincts and what he can do in the moment. Usually you would intercept that so he just probably wasn’t thinking and just went by common protocol.
@@stevebabiak6997 those definitely are good reasons.
I disagree that losing a timeout in the first half is meaningfully less important than the second half. Having timeouts enables a team to extend any half to potentially score more points, and field goals and touchdowns count for the same number of points in either half.
For example, it's an illusion to think that a missed field goal in the fourth quarter, with zeros on the clock, "lost" the game by one point, but a missed field goal the 1st quarter didn't. Points are points.
Having said that, I agree with you that this was an epically bad decision. In a millisecond, my dim brain went to: "Wait, a fumble means a gain for Atlanta instead of a loss."
Doesn't take away that is was a very dumb choice to make.
Yes. Dumbest Dumb Decision Ever @@nielgregory108
@@nielgregory108 And, my argument that 1st Half timeouts are valuable only makes the Dumbest Dumb Decision even Dumber.
He saw the refs throwing all their flags and felt left out.
Interesting thing is that had this play happened in the final two minutes of the game or in overtime and Bowles challenged and somehow won; the ball would have been placed at the site where Cousins had "fumbled" due to the "Holy Roller Rule", in which only the original fumbler can advance the ball. In effect, it would have been the same as an intentional grounding penalty (spot of the throw + loss of down, a virtual sack). The only legitimate reason to challenge the play in that scenario would be if there was a chance that the Bucs might have recovered the ball. In this scenario, though? Yeah, not a chance; and that lost TO might been useful enough down the line. #NFCSouth #CoachesTankDivision
Small point, coaches can’t challenge plays in the last two minutes of the half or overtime.
@@CTubeMan They do get one challenge per overtime period, right? And, all turnovers are automatically subjected to review in that period?
@@anthonyjkenn6319 Coaches can’t challenge in overtime. All replays in overtime are initiated by the officials.
Big challenge for the Big Mac Idiot Attack. I’m sure he’ll come through on Sunday night. It’s Prime Time with the biggest audience of the week. No way he doesn’t screw the Cowboys.
How many times has Tom Bowles been on Dumb Decisions so far?
I was wondering what Bowles was doing after I saw the replay. I was a very unhappy Buccaneers fan when I realized he was challenging that call. I agree about this coach's challenge being one of the worst ones ever.
I maintain that David's interception was a dumb decision too. It was 4th down, so it cost them about 9-10 yards. That may have made the difference in the game, since that extra yards might have turned it into a field goal instead of a punt with a minute left. If he just knocks it down, they save yards that could've won them the game.
The challenge was fine as when something like this happens it becomes a close call situation, there's no grantee that a referee's call will stand or reverse, especially THIS YEAR ahmmm Virginia Tech-Miami.
Nothing about the Bucs clock management after the Cousins INT with less that 2 min left? Game should have ended after that INT...
falcons had 3 timeouts
Yeah, I gotta say this was a dumb decision but I think the one that actually cost them the game ironically was the INT because if their linebacker actually knocked the ball down instead of intercepting the ball they’re on the Falcons 20 instead of being back at the 30 and that meant even with the flag they accumulated they still get an easy three-point. If they make the field goal, they would have to do is just as much time as they can then they would’ve been up by six which probably would’ve given them the game
Yeah.... But asking a football player to think that way in the heat of the moment is a big ask. Every instinct and all the training of your career is to intercept that ball. Unless it is a Hail Mary, grab it.
@@toddc3988 there’s also situational awareness that ball had little to no chance to be completed so when you’re thinking forth down and you can get to a place that’s closer to the goal line. You can take the deflection that was always taught to defensive players that when it’s fourth and long, you don’t go for the interception because most of the time the team is purposefully throwing the ball up so it can get intercepted.
More like Todd Bowels.
@@NeilTucker-d4w Or Todd Blowes
This was funny. When watching the game and he threw that challenge flag I shouted no…wep there’s tomorrow’s Dumb Decisions. 😂
JG9, I asked the same question. No, challenge they get everything they want. What did Todd Bowled hope to accomplish by a challenge?! I just don't get it.
The Bucs helmets outnumbered the Falcons helmet by a lot.
I got some good deals on Bucs helmets this offseason
@@OfficialJaguarGator9In all seriousness, I wonder if Todd Bowles is looking to somehow become the next John McKay. In a more humorous vein, however, the only thing which would have made this challenge worse for Bowles is if, in a twist of irony, he had taken a telephone call on the sideline not too unlike Jim Mora (of the same Atlanta Falcons) had done against the same Florida Orange and White. Not only would he have lost a timeout due to the challenge, he also would have lost a tidy sum of money due to the resultant fine.
Falcons fan here, still confused
That SpongeBob reference was actually a pretty good comparison for this situation.
Even I could see it was a incomplete pass, and Al Micheals, despite being old even could see that. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! And I thought Tim Walz being challenged on T.S. 1989 was bad, this was much worse.
I'd think Tampa calling timeouts with less than 2 minutes in the game was pretty dumb.
Video starts at 1:30
Dumb decision for pat Murphy?
If this were a fumble ( it wasn't) the Falcons should've challenged it
If the Falcons fumbled the ball and the Bucs recovered but still rulled a forward pass ok I get the challenge but either way in this case the Falcons would still have the ball so what was the point for Tampa to challenge it?
Lol my dolphins are so bad there a joke now😅😅
Where we're you when I bought the swimming pool in Florida and doubled my mortgage and property taxes and lost my house because I couldn't pay both mortgages and lost the house same time buffalo lost four superbowls in a row the dougalo bills
WHY JUST WHY 😅😅
