NFL GDT: Week 6

[GKJ]

McCown nice throw

 

[PG Canuck]

f***ing Pats gifted a win

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Why wouldn’t Fox just have Trubisky take a knee.

Because under Fox the Bears are the worst coached team in NFL

Literally never have seen a team this badly coached and I lived thru Wanny years

 

[Emperoreddy]

This league is an absolute joke.

2tds in 25 seconds in jags game ha

The ball was in his left arm when it got punched out and bobbled. He didn't regain possession in his right arm until he was already out of bounds out of the endzone. It's not that hard of a play or rule to understand.

 

[DangleCity]

You are in the minority.

You don't think he lost possession? He clearly is bobbling the ball

 

[Gene Parmesan]

C.J.!

 

[KaylaJ]

AP seems happy to be a Card

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Clearly?
Ok.

 

[DangleCity]

Brady sets record for most wins all time by a QB

 

[Roboturner913]

OMG this is about to be a one-score game after it was 45-10

 

[Roboturner913]

it's like a game of Madden with the "keep close" option turned on

Apparently its only a fumble if you're crossing the goal line at the time, because McCown clearly bobbled the ball while being sacked on that last drive and it did not go down as a fumble. It's over analyzing via replay to an absurd extent. Not to mention it is not at ALL clear if he managed to "regain possession" before he hit the ground/pylon or not, so the play should have stood as called even if you want to micro-analyze "possession"

Madden football has that as option now?

I haven't played since Madden 2004 (Had Vick on cover) on my PS2

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Bears do nothing with ball ,, Punt coming

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I think Detroit needed to go for it there...are there going to be at least 4 more possessions in the last 7 minutes? Not sure they’re going to get the ball twice more.

Yes it does.

How exactly is that a fumble if the ball never hits the ground? The ball moves but he never lost control to where it hit the ground or the sideline. To extrapolate from that play that A) he fumbled and B) the ball went out of the endzone when he never lost complete control is the worst single replay reversal I've ever seen.

Did the ball ever reach the goal line or the pylon?

His shoulder hit the pylon, but it's whether the ball did isn't it?

Or does the fact he hit the pylon mean he's out of bounds and contacted the ball. Kind of confusing.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Everyone on NFL Todsy saying it is a TD.

He doesn't lose control, but even if you claim it there is not enough evidence to overturn the call on the field which was a TD.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

O'Donnell shanks the punt

Ravens starting at midfield

There are different rules when it comes to the end zone.

The ball doesn't have to touch the ground to be a fumble, the player just has to lose control of it. A common example being a player strips a ball loose and the other team grabs it before it touches the ground.

If any part of a player's body is out of bounds and that player is touching the ball (assuming no other player has possession themselves) then the play is dead and treated the same as if the ball itself went out of bounds.

IMO from the replay it's clear that SJ lost possession/control of the ball. The real debate at hand is whether he reestablished possession before he contacted the pylon--much trickier to conclusively say from the replay.

 

[Roboturner913]

nevermind that the ref crew has decided they want to get ALLLLLLLLLL the airtime
