Well when you look at it in replay the football is not in control through the process of getting to the goal line in my humble opinion.
Its a bad rule regardless and a gift wrapped football given to the opposition for no reason IMO.
I've tried to rationalise why a team that just drove the ball down the playing field would lose the football when its fumbled out of the field of play.
I can't come up with any reason this rule is in place.
This is a really good post and I was just thinking about modifications to a QB's shoulder pads that could be made because of what you posted.
QB is more vulnerable then any other athlete on the field and he's also in many instances the most important player in the franchise.
thats what i'm thinking,
Not that I enjoy using this as an example , but does BB and the Pats lose football games without Mrs Brady?
ummmm no, not many
When a player like A Rodgers goes down everyone that enjoys the game of football suffers.
Don't give up on the season my friend.
You guys are pretty good manning the QB position.
It does not surprise me the knock on Peterman for some is being drafted in the 5th.
How many times has a 6th round draft choice won a championship over the last decade and a half?
I was under the impression unless conclusive evidence shows different they have been sticking to the ruling on the field this season,
so you got me there
Its probably the correct call when the ball was fumbled into then out of the endzone because the player was already past the goal line and out of bounds before gaining possession again.
On the other hand Its a bad rule that doesn't make much sense for a team that just battled its way to that point on the playing field IMO.
Peterman shows good internal clock skills and pocket awareness often times escaping pressure like the kids got eyes in the back of his head.
He's got the look...
