Yeah my brain works a bit differently than the average person I think.

Can you point out exactly what is “lazy” about this thread?

Benford left with a hand injury.

You may want to research logical fallacies. Hacket being worse doesn’t make McDermott good.

Wow, totally forgot about that timeout before the punt. What in the world was that about.

Let’s talk about what-if it wasn’t overturned. Would that have been the worse thing? The players were exhausted, it was about to be third down, we need to get in the endzone - would the extended timeout have been good despite the chance they lose the challenge? Perhaps more fitting than calling timeout on the next drive on a random mid-field(ish) first down!

For the last year and a half? haha

Yes, i’ve noticed that too and wrote a bit about it in my McDermott thread.

So one more toe tap makes up for an act common to the game? This all seems so ridiculous.

What a time to be alive. Anyone who has an opinion different than your own is a “troll”.

So Gabe simply needed to take one more mini step and then drop it?

I’m in the car, but if memory serves correctly it shows exactly that. Player toe taps, takes one step out of bounds and throws it at refs. I remember thinking it was odd. That’s why I was setting you up.

Says who? Some of the best coaches in history could not control their emotions at times. From Harbaugh having to be held back from the refs to Belichick throwing an ipad at his bench.

And there it is. Yet this just happened 2 years ago and it was ruled a catch. I’ll get the footage when I’m home. I do understand. Not sure that others do, though.

“Control” can’t be an act common to the game since it is another named section (A/B). Gabe had control and 2 feet down. So if he toe taps, then immediately tosses it to the ref… incomplete? (i’m setting you up)

I loved that. Absolutley loved that. Wish McD showed a tenth of that passion.

On a toe tap there is literally not enough time to do so. A toe tap is quicker than Gabe had the ball. If C is applicable in all circumstances then toe-taps are all incompletions as there is not enough time to have an act common to the game. And as you pointed out, the catch is not enough. You need the act too.

So C is removed?

Your opinion is noted. Thank you.

Yes. Read the last 12 words of C. Also by this theory, a toe-tap catch is not a catch. There is no act common to the game when you make a sideline toe tap. No turn up field, no juke, no extending the ball upfield, just a catch.

The answer is in your reply. The last 12 words to be precise. You do NOT need an act common to the game in the endzone. When was the last time you saw a player juke, extend the ball, turn upfield, etc IN THE ENDZONE? You don’t.

Davis dropped several balls today. Including on the last drive.
