  1. Everyone seems to think it was a fumble and the Bills for lucky. It looks to me as if he regains control of the ball in his right hand after the bobble and changes the direction of the ball directly to center of the pylon. I think the key here for control is his right hand changes the direction of the ball, meaning there is control /possession. The ball hits the pylon squarely on the inside edge (since it toppled our of play perpendicular to the side line. After he hits the pylon with the ball it comes out. I still think it's a clear touchdown.

  2. Direct from the "NOTES:" section of the 506 Sports main NFL page:

  4. Has this been discussed?

     

    During the Cincy - Indy game, just before the half a Cincy WR caught the ball on an out pattern. He was close to out of bounds, and it was hard to tell if he had full control before going out of bounds. Dalton hurried everyone to the line and spiked it to kill the cloak with 2 seconds left. On trots the Cincy kicker, ball is snapped whistle blows… Hold on, the prior play is under review. So no kick.

     

    How can you run a play (the spike play) and then review the play prior to that? I thought once a play is run, there can be no review?

     

    What I find to be worse about that sequence is that the Booth required a review of the play, and it was determined to be reviewable before the snap-spike, that amount of time should have been put back on the clock (from 2 seconds to even possibly 9 seconds). What's worse is that because the spike was never a play they restarted the clock upon the officials being set (luckily they gave Cincy more than enough time to get set for the field goal). Cincy should not have had to rush the last play as much as they had to.
