NFL Playoffs

[ClubWhatever 12158]

He controlled the ball when he got two feet inbounds.  Why does it matter what happens to the ball when he falls down out of bounds?

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

100 % was a catch.  Even after the db loosened it, WR still had control .   A ball can be moving but still in possession. Horrible overturn. 

[Asu2215 247]

These catch rules are such bullshit. 

[Hagbard Celine 10930]

absolutely BILLShit

[Vic Mackey 47158]

Lol @ that not being a catch. NFL needs this "cinderella story" to have a chance to keep churning. 

[Dewey 3294]

How many games is that called a TD? A lot. 

[mdmost 43055]

I've always found it a tad absurd that you can have the runner just cross the goalline with the ball and it's a TD but a WR has to maintain total possession even after both feet hit inbounds.

[JGrayDBU 345]

all we need now is for Buff to get a call on the next drive and we will know the fix is in.

exactly, this bullshit has jumped the shark. 

[Surly Bevo 25167]

Seemed to me he caught it, controlled it then he gets somewhat stripped and then loses a bit of control and regains it all after the catch...but whatever a catch is whatever they want it to be 

[Sawbonz 27593]

That’s not a catch anywhere else on the field why do y’all think it should be a catch in the end zone 

[Augustus 3061]

By rule, it's definitely not a catch.

 

I also agree with everyone that the rule is awful.

[4th&Five 41595]

It looked like there may have been a point where both hands were off the ball but I wouldn’t have overturned it.

 Because it should be a catch in the field as well

[Hagbard Celine 10930]

allen needs to go deep on every ball here and get some laundry

free laundry for the taking allen

When he hit the ground, the ball was completely loose, pinned between the two of them. He just regained control quickly. I thought the overturn was the right call.

By rule it’s not 

[Augustus 3061]

Go get a TD Buffs and keep this a game.

[Surly Bevo 25167]

It would have been a catch in the field because he never ultimately dropped it.  But let's say he did drop it....would it have been a fumble in the field of play?

[Nicole44 22078]

The NFL may be incentivized to keep the Hamlin story going but I think Burrow picks them apart in the second half. Jmo. I didn’t think it was a catch but the new rules suck ass

[JGrayDBU 345]

laundry is ready!

Why? The runner has full possession of the ball before he approaches the goal line. The WR (just like any other player) has to have full possession before we start counting yards and ball location.

[Augustus 3061]

Nice!

play of the game so far coming up.  IF Buffalo wants to stay in the game they have to hold Cincy to 0 points this drive. 

I am so impressed with Joe Cool.  Is it possible he is cooler than OG Joe Cool? (Montana)

Not quite. The OG didn't lose a SB. But he is the closest to Montana in the current NFL.

of course not because the ground can't cause a fumble

[brakeman 28436]

fuck off, joe mixon!

[Augustus 3061]

Be prepared to go for it here

[Nicole44 22078]

Holding on Bills…damn…wow. 

[Sawbonz 27593]

You have to perform an act “common to the game” or maintain control long enough to do so. The latter applies here and he clearly did not 

[Nicole44 22078]

Fans pissed they aren’t going for it…I guess I would be too…

[Augustus 3061]

Go for it come on

[PilotsError 2324]

Step on their throats cincy. 

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

Let’s go Burrow! 

[Nicole44 22078]

Burrow has free money to play with right now…I’d dial up a long ass pass okay to one of my speedsters and stick my foot on their throat going into the half. 

[PilotsError 2324]

Goddamn fuck these Jesus commercials.

in the field of play and not in the end zone, is it, or is it not, a catch?

psa: fuck chipotle and their all-galaxy shrinkflation strategy: half the food, twice the price

[ClubWhatever 12158]

So how long do you have to roll around on the ground with the ball.  If you lay there for a second and drop it is it incomplete?  How about 10 seconds?  A minute?

So many of them that the live shot of Damar in the box on the Bengals last drive had to be replayed bc we couldn’t see him live.

In the field of play the play would continue until he gained control or the ball hit the ground. On sideline or back of end zone his body being OB ends the play

How long does it take to make a football move? At least a second. That ball moved almost immediately 

[Nicole44 22078]

The likelihood of you getting points is less likely of you getting two incomplete passes…—-Romo-ism

This is funny…

[Surly Bevo 25167]

Joe did that better than Dak

[Augustus 3061]

Fuck yeah, keep playing long as there's time on the clock.

[Nicole44 22078]

Bills body language is worrisome if you are a Bills fan…head hung…kind of halfass jogging into the tunnel. They have to know what’s next. They do get the ball to start the second half though…

I give more credit to the ref placing the ball in a timely fashion. 

[Augustus 3061]

I love Lily Tomlin but I'll wait for Surly's input on 80 for Brady.

[Nicole44 22078]

So his last year in college wins the MNC. First year in NFL gets his knee blown up behind the worst OLine money can buy and as he’s carted off says they’ll be back and better next year. The next year they beat Mahomes and go to SB. This year he has an appendectomy right before the season and misses a bunch of practice. Wins their division. So far outdueling Allen in the snow on their turf with the NFL chomping at the bit for the Bills to win and go to Atlanta.

That’s what I don’t get. Say a QB reaches out, and the ball is in one hand, and it just touches the plane of the goal, but then the ball is knocked out of his hands. It’s still a TD. Like you said, he had the ball, two feet in for a second. It’s not right.
