It was against our backup d line. Also, we had to completely adjust from going against a pocket passer to a scrambler. This is a tough adjustment in the middle of the game, see Mike Vick in the first Jets game.

 

I think our starting d line would eat him alive. He got off easy today. Time will tell I guess for his career.

Yeah, I'd like to have seen him against the Bills' entire starting defense and without that fumbled snap near the goalline. Curious to see which way Pettine goes with the QB sitch.

The rule's elimination makes it so a quarterback loses possession when he fumbles while trying to bring the ball back to his body after opting not to throw. If the passer loses control while the ball is going forward, it's still incomplete. If he loses the ball while tucking, it's a fumble.

 

Yeah, Boger's crew got it blatantly wrong...again.

Boger is bad but he called it right. It got overturned by the league office because of the official review of all scores. It was awful. Even Mike Carey said it was a fumble.

 

And it was clear when you watch it several times. Manziel decides not to pass and pulls it in. At that point, he is hit and fumbles. Luckily the overturn did not affect the outcome of the game, but that should not give a pass to the officials for blowing it.

Holy crap, I didn't realize that was the new description. Based on that, they completely screwed up that call, no question at all.

Question - I've seen where the league will change stats later in the week after reviewing film. Guys will get sacks and such added that weren't originally credited to them. They won't give them the TD because they won't be able to change the score (I assume) but could the league come back and give KW the FF and Robey the recovery after reviewing it?

My fav part was the Bills fan giving the Johnny Football "money" gesture after the fumble :)

 

I chuckled at that as well. Obviously the guy in control of the cameras is not a fan of Manziel.
