Re: Worst rule in football won’t change until it affects a championship game
My question is last night one of the sideline ref’s threw a spot marker on the 1 1/2 yard line where TLL step out of bounds before launching for the end zone. . If he was out of bounds at the you can’t fumble the ball in bounds.
Did they pick up that marker / over rule that sideline ref who has that responsibility or just blow it off? |

Re: Worst rule in football won’t change until it affects a championship game
TLL didn’t step out of bounds...he clearly fumbled while in bounds. I will say that it was close as to where the ball was when it crossed the pylon. They have a camera on top but it’s still subjective as to if it crossed the pylon in bounds.

Re: Worst rule in football won’t change until it affects a championship game
That was a colossal screw up by TommyLee there. He should have just wrapped up the ball and gone down in bounds, run off even more clock, kick the field goal, or else live to try again on 4th down. Based on the whole game, I had little to no doubt that our defense was going to be able to keep Carolina from marching down and scoring a touchdown, but when you leave it potentially with a field goal to tie, and NO POINTS, that was really incredibly stupid.

Let's say he goes down at the 2, and we go on fourth and don't get it. Operating out of your endzone really limits the play call. Hindsight. |

You want to penalize the offense for fumbling in the red zone and thru the endzone, then move them back to the 20 but they retain possession.

Re: Worst rule in football won’t change until it affects a championship game
I don't blame TLL in that situation.
Your job is to put the ball in the end zone everytime you get it if you can. If he had scored no one would say boo about him reaching it over. It happened and its over. |
