Wyobills89 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 That should be a safety, if he didn't touch the ball it would be inside the 20. Now he kicked it into the end zone they get it at the 25? In my opinion that's a safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 What if you purposefully kick it out of the end zone? Still a touchback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you flub a punt, just kick it out of the end zone and get a touchback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he kicked it. Replay showed that. Why did the returner make the effort to recover the ball then?

So gravity has possession, we just borrow it temporarily? This is what happens when the tuck rule + what is a catch had a baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once he kicks it into the endzone how can you say the momentum of the punt did? Kicking it into the endzone obviously give the ball added momentum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyobills89 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I mean obviously we have no way of knowing where it would end up, but the extra little bit from kicking it could make a big difference, in direction/ bounce. I just think that's a dumb rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if he purposely kicked the ball out of the end zone and the ball would not have gone through the end zone save for the kick, that is a different story and would be ruled a safety. 2 minutes ago, Doc Brown said: I think in that case it's a safety. You have to regain possession. That's what they said was key...the player gained possession of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) So if the Colts grabbed it, it would have simply been a downed punt, not a recovery?

The Bills won that game 24 - 7 and I was at Rich Stadium for the game. I remember it rained a bit and it was cold/windy. I checked the stats for that game and Collinsworth didn't have a catch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It was November in 1985 and it was 50 degrees out when his 62 game catch streak ended. He doesn't have the greatest memory as they won 23-17. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198511030buf.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
