This is one of those plays I will watch, now and again, on Youtube, forever.

 

Particularly on days when I'm feeling a bit down and need some inspiration/motivation.

 

I do the same every once in a while with the Soupy Campbell hit on RJ Umberger from the playoffs some years ago.

As much as I cant stand jackson and his slow, boring runs...that was a hell of a stiff arm to get the bills in position to win. I still think he is very over rated, but if he can make a play like that every once and a while in a critical spot, he still has a little value.

Watching the replay, I don't think any part of Jackson's body touched out of bounds until the ball touched the pylon. They're always saying the goal line stretches in both directions outward from the field to infinity, so I think it should have been called a touchdown.

 

I'm pretty sure they chaged that rule a few years back. There is no longer that infinite goal line.

I'm sorry, but what? You're either a troll or ignorant.

I believe that rule was changed a few years ago and you have to cross the pylon or inside of it. The goalline no longer exists outside of the pylons.

I didn't know that. Good info.

That was just fantastic. Fred still has it.

 

I think Hackett and Marrone need to be commended for how they used Spiller, Fred and Boobie overall this game. All of them made crucial plays. It's hard to decide how to divide up the touches. Fred Ex is one of my very favorite players ever and still brings it.

Very true! Kyle Williams too. Marv wasn't all bad -- Marshawn has a likely chance of reaching the HOF if he keeps it up.

 

Yup. But I'm sure some will tell you that Marv was only responsible for the players in the draft that didn't pan out, and these guys were chosen by someone else.

 

boobies run was awesome!

 

Pinball.
