BALL GAME IF HE LOOKS AT HIM😡 🤦♂️ I can't believe either the announcers last night or people here aren't factoring in the following: Beasley was wide open because Allen decided to run the ball and the Titans defenders in the EZ rushed forward to stop him. The guy on Beasley pulled off of him to defend the Allen run. That's why he was so wide open. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 Let's play this game. Say Josh was in the act of fumbling it here and ground didn't cause the fumble... Which here, they ruled Josh was in control of the ball here: Where do they spot the ball? The ball didn't go out, Allen didn't go out until the ball was over the first down line: His shoulders, helmet, ball are all still inbounds right here above... The ball is NOT controlled and is being fumbled from before any body part but his hands and feet made contact with ground... ...Where would you put the ball? Hypothetically had they ruled he was in the act of fumbling, or failed to control the ball before his right arm touched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the other angle from the same shot above. You can clearly see the position of his hands & the ball are completely different. Yeah, it's another angle, but not of the original shot you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 the refs were terrible in this game (2 TDs from us on holding calls, but missing the holding on Henry's TD; PI on Hyde, but not on Tenn player mugging Diggs--, inconsistent), but they got this call correct.

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 Remember... They overturned the original ruling on the field and placed the ball back. Was Josh in control of ball when his arm went down or was he NOT in control and already in the act of fumbling it? The ball is in bounds, shoulders, helmet inbounds till the ball crosses first down line. 2 minutes ago, BigDingus said: That's not the other angle from the same shot above.

Hypothetically had they ruled he was in the act of fumbling, or failed to control the ball before his right arm touched. Then they'd have spotted where he started to fumble. You can't advance a fumble inside 2 minutes. If he had started fumbling before his arm was down the ball would have come back to where the fumble started.

There is a debate in how the call was changed without an official review but I def agree they ended up with the right call. If that was ruled a first down and went to an official review though like I would assume is the normal process I think it probably stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was fumbling and NOT in control of the ball when his right forearm, elbow initially touched, then yes... He made it. If Josh was in control when his elbow, right forearm touched, then NO, he didn't make it. And BTW... @Gugnyis a hack troll. 😆 I would never outwardly troll.

I can't see the first or where his elbow first hit, but when I saw the replay yesterday he looked short to me. are you saying the refs missed the spot and JA had a first? I'm saying the refs were eventually correct that he did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both arms are splayed wide open ball in middle of his chest crossing first down line while everything is still IN bounds. Maybe they got the original call right on the field in real time? ??? 4 minutes ago, LeGOATski said: I don't believe any of this Just answer the questions. Was he in control of the ball (with his left hand only) when his right elbow, forearm touched: He obviously wasn't a millisecond later: Did the ground cause the fumble when his right arm touched... Causing his totally independent left hand to lose control of ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 IFF he was in control of ball with left hand when right arm touched, then YES, they made right call. If no, he wasn't in control of ball, then Allen made the first down. Remember... The on-field spot was that he made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was in control with left hand when right touched. Was he, I think you said yes. What caused him to lose control here: Neither hands on ball. The ground when his right hand hit. I could postulate he wasn't in control before he his right arm touched. That's what they called on field, in real-time first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 13 hours ago, Richard Noggin said: He didn't, though. The ball was not extended when his initial arm/elbow hit, spotting the ball short. They got that call right, unfortunately. You don't get his rolling momentum. You get the initial ball location when he is first down or out of bounds. I am the first guy to blame the refs usually— but that was literally a perfect spot.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Seemed like it was closer and could have merited a review. I don't know the entire rule, but with forward progress in mid air the ball looked to be close to passed the line, when he landed the ball seemed to pop out. A review would've been nice, especially as buffalo called timeout anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
