  1. This does make one wonder how he plans to meet his burden... But, that is what happened. 

     

    I am guessing the NFL will cave if they are forced to release all of the emails. Releasing the emails will probably cost the NFL more than a settlement with Chucky.

     

    Best Result: He doesn't settle. He just ***** everywhere, taking his persecutors out with him, haha. 

     

    Likely result: Undisclosed Settlement.

    The guy walked toward the steelers sideline eyeballing them. I don't believe the "bump" factored in. 

     

    I agree the call should have not been made but the bears player wasn't innocent, with the emphasis on taunting he should have just played it safe.

    The ref bumping into him was awfully weird, though. That was intentional and makes the whole thing awkward.

    Shift of philosophy.  We're trying more of the "leave reasonable threads that are nominally different alone, let the Mob sort 'em out" philosophy.

    Plus, as the Titans pointed out, they planned for the sneak to the left. 

     

    If there were any Bills' staff/coaches/players reading this, maybe they'd adjust. Everyone gets tunnel vision, and there is a slight chance talking about the specific tendency will eliminate it. Who knows? Go Bills!

    We’re talking about two different things. If Watt has been pushing that line, as @Hapless Bills Fan and others have claimed, then he should be flagged/fined, even suspended if he does it enough. I was more just speaking about the technique (punching the ball out) more generally. It’s taught and used by many, if not all teams. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. I don’t think anyone that does it is “classless” or a “scumbag” as others have said. TJ Watt may be though. He’s aware he’s going to get more leeway from the refs given his rep and accomplishments.

    I agree, in that case. I just hate the Stealers, and dirty teams in general.

    TJ not JJ. And if the intent is clear enough that he was going for the ball I don’t see why they would ever flag that.

    Are you daft? Or, being sarcastic?

     

    I mean, you can't punch another player period. If you could, imagine all the abuse that would happen. Players would always be "punching the ball" and hitting the other player on accident. Watt should have been tossed.

    Id have to see the replay.  If he is tripped up by a defender then he is down by contact as soon as his knee touches the ground.  Still images don't tell a full story

     I think he is officially down as he dove head first. But, they marked the spot wrong, in that case.

    His knee was down before that screenshot.  

    (earlier ITT) The accusation is that he wasn't touched when his knee hit the ground, thus his extra lunge.

     

    The rebuttal is that he gave himself up.

     

    However, the officials did not place the ball where they should have, if giving himself was their reasoning. This indicates that "giving himself up" was not the reason for calling him down by contact.

     

    That makes the call wrong, on the field.

    He knee was CLEARLY down before the ball came out. That still frame image was taken after his knee already hit the ground and touched.

    You do know a player isn't down til they get touched, right?

     

    That's why I wanted to see the video. The tweet says he was not touched.

    Okay.  The first one in the previous game, you are correct.  But in this game Lamar's knee was clearly down before the fumble.  It was the right call.

    Maybe, you're correct. Still, I want to see that play again.

    How do you figure?  

    The record breaking kick (win) was proceeded by an aggregious delay of game (technical penalty) penalty not called. 

     

    This game, Jackson fumbled at the goal line right before they scored the TD that ended up resulting in the tie.
