Week 15 Discussion (Other Teams)

It just occurred to me - we might soon get bombarded with a new TV ad, "imperfect extension".

 

[Pats]

There's receiver vs runner distinction in play here. Runner can just brake a plain with the ball and it's a TD if he wasn't down beforehand (no need to be touched). Receiver can be on the ground untouched and continue play but he must control the ball throughout the catch. James didn't, it bobbled when it touched the ground.

ahh fair enough. In the offseason they really need to change the catch rules. Give receivers more flexablity with it.

*edit ^^ - runner must be touched, too to be considered down.

 

[allblackraven]

Never seen the scientific measurement like this. smh

fucking dallas

Dallas had the game won but then the Dallas corner decided to maul the Raiders receiver. Incredible. Now the Raiders with a chance to tie it or win it.

 

[JO_75]

Wow....... what a way to end the game.

 

[Cville-Raven]

Would love for them to get rid of that stupid rule but whatever.

 

[Dom McRaven]

And that exactly is how their season ends. Sucks.

How would you change it? If it goes through the end zone, then it is a touch back. I hate the rule too, just curious to see how you would change it.

Whoever last touched it gets the ball back wherever they last touched it - like a fumble in general play. If you lose it while you were in your end zone it's a safety and if you lose it in the opposing end zone it's obviously a TD. That's how I'd do it anyway.

Just when I thought it's time to welcome back 8-8 Cowgirls, Carr had to fuck up

 

[Inqui]

As usual I was only able to pay half-attention to this game, but I'm honestly not too sure how that was a first down if the paper went all the way through.

Can't award a TD if player just to throws the ball over the line

It didn't - it was touching both the stick and the ball

You'd have to have been somewhere in the field of play if you threw it over the line, which would be where you'd get it back. But if you had control of the ball while in the opposing end zone it'd be a TD anyway so a non-issue.

Get it back, yep - that bit needs to change definitely.

Yeah, sadly I suspect it'll take something like a Brady comeback getting thwarted for the rules committee to make that enough of a priority.

 

[RavensMania]

Too bad we did not play them next week

All in the timing
