NFL GDT: Week 6

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Lions avoid disaster...starting at 1

If the Saints end up losing, Payton better end up in the unemployment line. I'm getting tired of him.

even if they don't. I've never seen a game so horribly mismanaged

....and thats a 3 and out, Lions about to get it back

 

[misterchainsaw]

It's considered a fumble cause he didn't have possession when he hit the pylon.

Yes he did. He clearly did on the replays by the time he hit the ground/pylon. And if that little jostle of the ball is enough to be a fumble, then McCown should have been charged with a fumble and a fumble recovery when he juggled the ball while being sacked. The reality is that a little jostle like that is not considered a fumble anywhere else on the field.

 

[Patty Ice]

f*** it. Just fire Payton right now during the game. I want to see him escorted out of the stadium by security.

 

[Roboturner913]

this is the weirdest sports game I've ever seen my life

 

[DangleCity]

Absolutely not. He still had the ball going out of bounds and there is nothing on the replays to say otherwise.

Alright. Well I'm not gunna keep arguing with a wall. If you want to think he had possession of that ball when he hit the pylon then go right ahead. The right call was made. If you want to argue that rules should be changed then I would agree with you

 

[GKJ]

The witching hour

 

[Roboturner913]

99 yard Lions touchdown incoming, because why not

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

What gutless playcalling by Bears ,, If Barth misses this FG his boy Fox needs to be fired

 

[Roboturner913]

LOLOLOL this is just stupid now

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Or a pick 6 in the endzone

 

[GKJ]

this is the weirdest sports game I've ever seen my life

Not weirder yet than the Flyers-Jets game that ended 9-8

To me a 'fumble' is when the ball hits the ground or the pylon while it's out of the ball carrier's control. That was not a fumble, period. But the NFL will invent wording that says it was and 'stand by' the call. Might as well have had the darn replacement refs doing the game, at least there'd be an excuse.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

14-0 Cards.

Why do I keep picking the Bucs?

 

[SJSharksfan39]

49ers are going to lose on another phantom offensive pass interference call.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Barth hits FG

Bears win in OT

 

[DoyleG]

Now Garcon screws his own team

 

[misterchainsaw]

The ball was in his left arm and he didn't fully re establish control in his opposite arm until he was out of bounds. The transition from arm to arm shows a clear loss of possession.

So why isn't it ever called a fumble when runners bobble the ball but regain it before the ball hits the ground?

 

[Melrose Munch]

YAY BEARS!

 

[Josepho]

f*** this

 

[GKJ]

Saints should go for 60

 

[Terry Yake]

a loss to the bears at home? f***ing seriously?

jfc

 

[Roboturner913]

this is the best argument ever for a running clock rule in the NFL

 

[Patty Ice]

Cam Jordan can be the coach now.

 

[DangleCity]

So why isn't it ever called a fumble when runners bobble the ball but regain it before the ball hits the ground?

Because they aren't hitting the pylon at the time
