  1. I thought it was Tempo! Also, who's going to take him out hunting?
  2. I think the difference here is that Poyer established control and possession with 3 feet and a tuck. In essence, after he controlled the ball he tucked AND got a third foot down. It's a bang bang play, but imo he clearly possesses the ball inbounds and establishes himself with the third foot. OOB actions don't matter at that point.
  3. I think there is a nuanced discussion about football move with control of the ball. Poyer very clearly possesses with two feet in, tucks the ball and manages to get a third foot down. There's a belief that the surviving the ground doesn't come into effect in this situation, since he has clearly passed the three rules of control, body, and football move prior to being OOB.
  4. Might as well add the play... https://twitter.com/J_poyer21/status/1598542205706199040?t=2mYZjktj0mWEcF1O-XfOog&s=19 For whatever reason I don't know how to embed a tweet on my phone.
  5. He had three feet in on the play with a tuck before he is OOB. I think it was a terrible enforcement of going to the ground. That third step with possession and tuck should have constituted a football move.
  6. Surprisingly, I would think that simultaneous possession happens at that point, giving possession to the offense.
  7. They did, but this was the far side away from that camera. Also on the whole spotting of the ball when making a toe tap catch it has been said so many times that the player who is the key part. If they have a body part on the ground in bounds after catching a ball outside the field of play, the ball will be spotted at the position when the ball is when they gain possession. If they gain possession when the ball is out of play and they are not on the field of play but can establish back in bounds (in air, but can tap those toes inbounds) the ball will be placed at the position of the ball at that toe tap (last legal play). If the player jumps off the ground and lands out of bounds then the ball spot is where it crosses out of bounds, since there is no other reference point to spot the ball. The ball is spotted where it goes over the vertical plane of the sideline. (Think where an official marks a punt OOB when it bounces out or goes out in the air) This is a kinda simple rule to play out for the Lamar play. It's where the ball is as it goes over the inside plane of the sideline (since he's in the air). The spot looked pretty good for a split second decision. Officials really do have a tendency to get it right when they aren't told to let replay figure it out.
  8. I'm showing my (lack of?) age with these: Lately this song has come back into my mind as a favorite because it's ominous(but really Ramin Djawdi's piano scores for popular songs are really fantastic!)
  9. They did get rid of the rule, but for whatever reason, it hasn't really gone away.
  10. It was not a touchdown because the receiver was falling to the ground before the second point of contact (in this case 2nd foot). As a rule, the possession must be retained throughout contact with the ground. Davis was never going to the ground, so 2 points of contact with football move was the requirement. The two plays are comparing apples to oranges.
  11. Automatically reviewed on all changes of possession. Like minds!
  12. The play doesn't end with 2 feet down. He'd need to make a football move before the catch is completed. It was too close to challenge, he would have lost.
  13. But on that case cant they simulate sun with lights. Combined with under soil heat, I don't see the issue with grass anymore. Technology has advanced significantly and made these systems more economical. Like this: https://recreationalsystemsint.com/products/rsi-sports-leds/stadium-grass-grow-lighting
  14. This is the right call. Only fumbler can advance ball.
  15. That's what you get when the refs gift billions of first downs to Cincy.
  16. I like O'Sullivan's notice of the cancelled throw to Crowder on Allen's TD. It was assumed to be a pump fake, but it wasn't. If Josh threw the ball like he was going to, that was going to be intercepted and possibly a pick 6. Also I saw McKenzie's speed on the Diggs TD made him wide open. He stopped his route at the sticks and had a massive amount of space because the DBs back was to him.
  17. They are really trying, but that production looked like a small step above public access TV. That's growing pains I know, but wow it's distracting! Other than that, good for her if she cashed in. I just don't see too much draw for FanDuelTV. Maybe they will release numbers that prove me wrong.
  18. I'm confident that the WR is still Ramsey's responsibility there. Even if he's blocking, he needs to stay on his man. Hopefully someone who can diagnose man vs zone will let me know if this was a zone from 2 high, or a quarters look with the safety rotating down to put 8 in the box, leaving a cover 1 backend with the CBs having man responsibilities.
  19. That's your confirmation bias saying that. When looked at with a little more background, he can't say a thing. He was between a rock and a hard place. He could not confirm or deny anything coming his way.
  20. Possibly. It could be confirmation bias too. (Not accusing you of anything purposely. Psychologically, humans don't want to be the odd one out when in a crowd) And I agree with your assessment. He was in a tough spot no doubt.
  21. One thing in here that hasn't been mentioned yet is that MA is flying back with the team tonight.
