Also telling, the NFL gods have removed pretty much all photos and video of the play from the internet. SI removed their video, Twitter had several that are all gone, and there are one or two blurry, indeterminable photos I can find on Google.

Ok fine.

On the actual play, a player is touching the ball with his knee on the ground out of bounds. Is that correct?
Therefore, the play is dead at that exact moment. Is that correct?
So, even if it was a fumble then the play is dead at the moment that any player on the field touches both out of bounds and the ball. Is that correct?


As the rules are stated, yes. I'm not arguing for or against the rule. I'm saying that it looked like the ball slipped out of his hands (it was raining) while he was diving in the air. When his toe hit out of bounds, the ball was already out.

It's not like this was a play against the Lions where my biases could possibly affect my judgment. I was watching as a fan of neither team, but the game itself.

I think we are just repeating ourselves at this point.
So it was a bad call then.

We should know by tomorrow if the NFL thinks it was a blown call or not. In the Lions/Cowboys game a couple years back, the NFL officially apologized to the Lions on a Tuesday, for a horrendous non-call.

https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/det ... all-010615

The Lions still should have won that game regardless of the non-call. Jim Caldwell decided that 20 points was enough, and played to punt the entire second half.

I'd be stunned if they apologize. The Zack Miller TD being overturned was actually worse than this amd they released a long bullshit statement on how it was the correct call. I flipped off my phone.

Oh I agree. That Miller call was a thing. This was not as clear cut, but I am really leaning towards Rick's thoughts on this.

I don't get how they can add new info to the challenge. Fox challenged whether he got out of bounds or not. Then they add the fumble/touchback to the equation. No one was challenging if he kept possession. What if they saw a facemask penalty that they missed during the play, they can't add that penalty on after the fact. It all just made no sense to me.


They shouldn't be able to change anything except what is being challenged. That's crap.

Why do they even announce what they are challenging if anything can be looked at?

When the ref announces the challenge, he should just say "The Bears are challenging the ruling on the field of everything that happened on the play."


Why not? The point of replay is to make the correct calls. Those rules in previous years where you couldn't challenge if the call was made one way, but you could if was called the other way, were stupid. You literally couldn't challenge calls even when they were clearly wrong, simply because the wrong call was made. That's insane. Personally, I wouldn't mind going back to no replay at all. But you can't un-ring that bell. If there is a replay system, then everything should be subject to review.


I don't have time to read all the rest of this so I apologize if it has been argued for 2 pages, but the point, at least the point I tried to make yesterday, is that it isn't.

"Everything is under review" except if I see a clear holding penalty or that guy had a PI or there's a facemask, etc....

It should be "I am challenging this - yes or no?" But, it isn't. And yesterday, Bears aside, was bullshit.


That's my beef. If they saw that the fumble was caused by a missed facemask, they wouldn't have called the penalty. Yet they can review someone being out of bounds and somehow end up with a turnover.

I'm leaning towards no more replay in football or baseball. In two games in a row the replay official got it wrong. That shouldn't be happening...

And in baseball, you've got a fat old fuck deciding what is a ball and a strike based on his whims on every pitch and youre gonna review if a guys foot popped off the bag for a millisecond? That pickoff play against the Nats is a prime example, it helped the Cubs but it was 100% bullshit.

The NFL will never apologize for the call yesterday.

Even if they issue an explanation, it won't address the best argument, which is that there was absolutely not enough evidence to make that call via replay.

They usually do all the apologies on Tuesday - after they fuck up the Monday night game.

According to the NFL rulebook that JLN posted, the refs got the call wrong.

Doesn't matter. He is touching the ball while also touching out of bounds. The ball is dead at that exact moment. Fumbling doesn't change that.

This was the ref's explanation along with Cunningham's thoughts...

“As he was lunging toward the goal line, he lost the ball in his right hand first, probably, I’m going to guess, 2 feet maybe short of the pylon,” referee Tony Corrente told a pool reporter. “As he got even closer, the left hand came off. We had to put together two different angles in order to see both hands losing the football. After he lost it the second time, it went right into the pylon.”

Cunningham said he thought it was a TD at first, but he agreed with the call after watching the replay. "When I watched the review, I felt like they made the right call," Cunningham said. "Just a bad play on my part, but the refs got it right."

So JLN was wrong?

The ball carrier himself said it was a fumble? :lol:

I guess we can close the file on that one.

No, it doesn’t. He also said he thought it was a touchdown, which clearly wasn’t the case. He’s looking at a replay like everyone else. Oh, and he can be fined for saying it was wrong.

Holy fuck, how is this regressing? No one is questioning the fumble call. The ball was dead after the fumble but before it went into the end zone (touched the pylon). It was the wrong call.

Chus is just trolling now, I guess.

If Peanut Tillman ball-punches someone at the 7-yard line and it flies and hits the pylon, is it the other team's ball?

But Cunningham did not make a non-football move to complete the action of the fumble, therefore it was merely out of bounds.

I believe that would be Bears ball at their own 20.

Quote:
Fumble
The distinction between a fumble and a muff should be kept in mind in considering rules about fumbles. A fumble is the loss of player possession of the ball. A muff is the touching of a loose ball by a player in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain possession.
A fumble may be advanced by any player on either team regardless of whether recovered before or after ball hits the ground.
A fumble that goes forward and out of bounds will return to the fumbling team at the spot of the fumble unless the ball goes out of bounds in the opponent’s end zone. In this case, it is a touchback.
On a play from scrimmage, if an offensive player fumbles anywhere on the field during fourth down, only the fumbling player is permitted to recover and/or advance the ball. If any player fumbles after the two-minute warning in a half, only the fumbling player is permitted to recover and/or advance the ball. If recovered by any other offensive player, the ball is dead at the spot of the fumble unless it is recovered behind the spot of the fumble. In that case, the ball is dead at the spot of recovery. Any defensive player may recover and/or advance any fumble at any time.
A muffed hand-to-hand snap from center is treated as a fumble.


The pylon is an extension of the end zone.

The ball is out.


His right hand is touching it and he is out of bounds. By rule that is a dead ball.


Touching the ball is not the same thing as possessing the ball. When he had the ball, it was in both hands. In that picture, the ball is out.


Rule 3, Sec. 21, Article 3, Item 2:Loose Ball. A loose ball is out of bounds when it touches a boundary line or anything that is on or outside such line, including a player, an official, or a pylon.

https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/20 ... -of-bounds


NFL rulebook says the pylon is outside such line. Might as well log off and try again tomorrow. You can do no worse than you did today

I guess I read it incorrectly.

(a) If a ball is fumbled in the field of play, and goes forward into the opponent’s end zone and over the end line or sideline, a touchback is awarded to the defensive team

I read this as a fumble into the end zone, since the pylon is part of the end zone. Like orthopedic shoes, I stand corrected. See Frank, I can admit when I'm wrong. Take a victory lap.

None of that changes the fact that he was not down, as MANY suggested he was, nor does JLN's picture prove anything either way, as the ball was already out. It also doesn't change the fact that I have seen at two losses directly blamed on the referees.

I don’t care about the game. I’m trying to flesh out this stupid rule.

What if the Peanut ball punch flies just to the right of the pylon? Turnover or offensive team ball at the point it crossed the out of bounds line?

I bet no ref would know what that ruling should be.

Even when admitting guilt, Chus doubles down on the JLN post and says something else wrong. Unbelievable.

The offense would keep the ball at the spot of the fumble, Dr Ken.
