Thank you officials

That will be called a fumble, but it shouldn't. The ball moves, but he regains control, his butt hits the ground the ball comes out.

100% agree. He should be fined at the least

Rex Ryan said TT was "ready to go" at the end of game.

Why the fu*k isn't that reviewed? Edit: maybe I should say reviewable.

It's right because of the nature of the penalty. It was a personal foul, which is always enforced. Personal fouls are considered more than a procedural penalty, so they enforce it no matter the outcome.

That's a testament to how bad the Jags really are.

!@#$ this team and !@#$ that official.

"Illegal formation... The entire offensive line"

HA!

All scoring plays are automatically reviewed

He's all over the place. 900 feet up to 1300 feet... What an a$$ hole!

No, I've been nervous lots of times.

I think that all of this is a non issue, since there was almost no way for the Lions to recover the football. Johnson fumbled forward under 2 minutes, which by rule can only be recovered by him, which wasn't going to happen.

Everyone keeps saying it was against the rules, but not 1 person knows how to enforce this situation (or has stated as such). The (I bet the ref didn't either, hence no flag)

I am serious. And don't call me Shirley. I wonder if the conditions were sluggish, like a wet sponge?

It looked intentional to me. But that could be bias from his other "accidental" kicks.

My question from up thread still is Why is the referee watching the line?!? His responsibility is the quarterback!

The worst part is that the idea of advantage / disadvantage is not used anymore by officials. In every sport, if the player committing the foul gains an advantage, call the penalty. If it has no effect, don't call it. RI did not disadvantage the player (hell he didn't even fall). Plain and simple don't make that call.

I think that this reply should be the start of a new Off the Wall topic, because the first 3 paragraphs are spot on. If you are looking at this thinking conspiracy theorist, please go read about Risperdal, or !@#$ Dupont knowing what their chemicals did to the groundwater in WVa. Then think about the Supreme Court ruling allowing corporations to be essentially people. It goes on and on...

If anyone is a football official, what area is the referee supposed to watch on plays? I ask because in Lacrosse, as the trailing official in 2 man or the single side official in 3 man, when an offensive player takes a shot, this official must watch the shooter (to look for late hits and protect the player). I was under the impression that the referee watched the quarterback and the other officials the line and such. That being said, why is he watching the line?

That's not that bad. I'm used to Buffalo "traffic" (HA!) but have been in Toronto rush hour a few times. That can get pretty busy and crazy but it's traffic signs really get you going the best way.

Dino Bocce is the best of the Bocce's no doubt. However, Imperial Pizza on Abbott makes a run for the money here (they are very similar pies). Growing up in the area around the Bailey Bocce's, it's really hard to find another good pizza place but I thought Leonardi's pizza on Grover Cleveland/Millersport/Longmeadow/Eggert intersection was pretty damn good too.

One of the boards readers (i dont know how often he comments) was at that event. For him it was a very special event.

It wasn't reversed. But I don't think it's wrong. The left hand of Stafford coming up to attempt to meet the ball is telling of his attempt to tuck the ball
