    Things I learned today

    8 drops. Better planning??? Tuel wasn't great. A third string qb made some bad plays. Can you believe it??? Holy crap. Some people just aren't in touch with reality.

    This board is unreadable 90% of the time. I swear to god Bills fans have no common sense.

    FCC proposes ending sports blackouts

    every stadium will look like that on game day if the blackout rules go away

     

    who cares as the NFL gets most of their money from big tv deals.

     

    No way, no how is 5000 unsold tickets @ $100 each breaking NFL owners. If $50 grand is making or breaking NFL owners then I guess they are financially hurting more than they let on. The black out rule is BS.

    Fred Jackson is a stud. Top 5 back.

    Is he a homerun threat every time you hand it to him? Otherwise I agree he does it all, but that is a big one that's hard to say yes to. He's a bit more welker than Calvin Johnson for another position that often gets rankings debated -- super reliable, smart, productive but is he top 5? Without a truly elite dimension it's hard to put those hard workers that high for me atleast.

     

    No he isn't. But I would rather have the guy who hits .300 with 2 home runs 40 doubles, steals 25 bags, yet still drives in 80 and does it all opposed to the guy who hits .225 with 25 homers and not much else.

    Did the ball break the plane on the Marvin Jones "TD"

    Official Rules - the ball needs to break the plane of the goal line - see d below.

     

    Section 2 Touchdown

    TOUCHDOWN PLAYS

    Article 1 Touchdown Plays. A touchdown is scored when:

    (a) the ball is on, above, or behind the plane of the opponents’ goal line and is in possession of a runner who has

    advanced from the field of play; or

    (b) a ball in possession of an airborne runner is on, above, or behind the plane of the goal line, and some part of the ball

    passed over or inside the pylon; or

    © a ball in player possession touches the pylon, provided that, after contact by an opponent, no part of the player’s

    body, except his hands or feet, struck the ground before the ball touched the pylon; or

    (d) any player who is legally inbounds catches or recovers a loose ball (3-2-3) that is on, above, or behind the opponent’s

    goal line; or

    (e) the Referee awards a touchdown to a team that has been denied one by a palpably unfair act.

    SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES

    (1) The ball is automatically dead when it is in legal possession of a player and is on, above, or behind the opponent’s

    goal line.

    (2) The player is attempting to catch a pass, the ball is not dead, and a touchdown is not scored, until the receiver

    completes the catch. See Rule 3, Section 2, Article 7.

    A.R. 11.1 Third-and-goal on B2. Runner A1 goes to the goal line with the ball over the plane of the goal line. He is tackled, fumbles,

    and the defensive team recovers in the end zone.

    Ruling: Touchdown. The ball is automatically dead at the instant of legal player possession on the opponent’s goal line.

    A.R. 11.2 Second-and-10 on B18. Runner A1 takes handoff and runs down the sideline toward the goal line with the ball in his

    outside arm. He crosses the goal line plane standing and gets his left foot down in the end zone with the ball to the

    outside of the pylon.

    Ruling: Touchdown. Part of the ball crossing over or inside the pylon only applies to an airborne runner who lands out of

    bounds.

     

    Yep, the ball itself has to get into the endzone or break the plane of the endzone to be considered a touchdown, not just the players body.

     

    The word touchdown comes from the olden days when the player had to physicaly touch the ball down onto the playing field in the endzone. Hence the word touchdown.
