What is the number of that rule? If a player intercepts a pass in the endzone, his teammate pushes someone in the back, and the intercepting player doesn’t leave the endzone, I don’t believe it would be a safety. Never seen it happen, though. I’d like to see the rest of the verbiage from your quote.

The crazy thing is that there are several people on here saying that Kroft scores if the pitch was on the money...as if there weren’t 2 DBs right in front of him and a LB right on his tail.

There literally isn’t a rule written to address this situation. If anything, it’s an illegal forward pass. That would create a dead ball (touchback) and a 5 yard penalty. In this case, that would place the ball at the 15. No matter how you look at it, it’s neither a touchdown nor a safety.

I don’t think you need the bold. If you remove the last comma, it works. As written (poorly), the “no effort to advance” portion applies to the entire section. Rules simply can’t be written perfectly enough to cover every eventuality. This is why common sense must be applied. If it’s going to be enforced differently, it needs to first be made a public point of emphasis.

Not to mention the fact that judges absolutely take clear intent as well as precedent into account when making their ruling. No judge is going to overturn hundreds of cases of precedent over an Oxford comma.

So a runner who steps out of bounds isn’t down as long as he still has a desire to advance? ***** is about to get interesting on the sidelines.

The reality is that this same play has happened scores of times this year, and this is the first time the ref didn’t use common sense and call it a touchback immediately. Not a single mention of it would ever have been made by anyone had the ref not been an idiot in the first place. The time to start changing the way a rule is being enforced is not during the playoffs. That would be like saying the refs in the NBA should decide to call a carry on an unguarded point guard in the backcourt halfway through game 3 of the Finals because he rolled his hand over it a little...like every player in the game does every single time.

Had the penalty been declined or not called, it was still out of field goal range unless you think Hauschka has 56 yards in him.

Ridiculous. If you start a drive with 5+ minutes left from your own 4 yard line and a 10 point lead on the road, you'd gladly go into halftime 10-0. Ending the drive with a FG as the half expired was a huge win. Sure, a 96 yard drives that kills the rest of the half would be incredible, but that can't possibly be the expectation. To call it horrific play calling and clock management is the height of absurdity. The Texans have NFL players on their roster, too. Remember that earlier in the game with similar field position, Allen threw back to back passes directly into the hands of defenders that would have been walk in touchdowns. 13-0 at halftime feels a little better than 10-7. You go into the locker room on the road in the playoffs up 13-0, your coaching staff gets gold stars across the board. Hopkins is the one who lost a fumble, right? The one that gave the Bills a free three points?

The year he completed 70% of his passes for 29 TDs and 11 INTs and a QB rating of 102?

Yeah. He really sucked today dropping a dime 50 yards downfield and then a perfect fade to the corner of the endzone to knock the Saints out of the playoffs in New Orleans.

Show me one example of him throwing a total jump flutter ball to a double covered fullback.

How about from another neutral team whose fanbase recognizes their own bust of a QB? https://www.chicitysports.com/forum/index.php?threads/official-afc-wildcard-games-igt.75665/page-12

Every non Bills fan recognizes that this is a really good roster with good coaching and a liability at QB. 90% of this board sees the exact opposite.

Favre threw 4 passes for Atlanta in his career. There is no correlation to their situations. He was a pro bowler his first year as a starter.

Yeah. I remember about a dozen times this year when Rodgers threw the ball randomly backwards to nobody for no reason.

He managed to throw a TD pass in that shutout somehow.

They went over 20 minutes without scoring, and he fumbled the ball to Houston without being touched and gave them a short field. Yeah, he blew the lead. I mean I thought he did. Fortunately, OMF confirmed that I was wrong and this didn’t happen. I’ve got a lot to learn about football. Can you believe I was silly enough to think the 19 points scored was the most all year against a playoff team?

That’s a relief. I thought I watched him blow a 16 point lead yesterday. You going to Kansas City to watch him play for a spot in the AFCCG?

What a bizarre statement... Nobody is saying that third year QBs aren’t better than rookie QBs. The comparison is year 2 to year 3. It’s extremely rare to see a third year QB make a huge jump. The idea that he’s suddenly going to develop the ability to read defenses, hit receivers in stride on a consistent basis, hit the deep ball on a regular basis, etc. is not based in reality. Add to that the fact that his athleticism is his biggest asset, and it becomes even more of a stretch. He took some serious shots yesterday that he certainly still feels today.

Are you joking? Jackson has 9 fumbles on the year. Allen had 16. Jackson has 8 turnovers. Allen had 14.
