That is just as bad as the Green Bay missed call, maybe worse.

 

[Mrbob]

I thought he re-established? Took like 5 steps in bounds. What gives?

He did. Bad call.

 

[Big Baybee]

That was the right call, not sure why people are complaining about that. Complain about the rule, not the call.

 

[Slo]

JFreeman is going to take this out on his colon.

 

[Dominican Power]

Why the fuck is Dez Bryant returning punts? Cowboys are just...I don't know.

 

[brentech]

damn, that's hella lame, just start pushing them out anytime you're defending the end zone then.


if not illegal to just do that, shouldn't it be illegal contact at the least

 

[LJ11]

Yeah, this loss was on Fitzpatrick, but it was more so on the coaching. The defense has all the talent in the world, but they're continously out coached. Instead of running the ball 3 times for 7 yards to put away the game, the coach calls 3 straight passing plays, when history has shown that Fitz cannot win under pressure. They knew that the rest of the game, which is why they were limited him to safe underneath throws. Suddenly, they decide he needs to toss the ball around for absolutely no fucking reason.

The entire coaching staff is inept, and Gailey holding on to Fitz so that his contract actually activates the huge money clauses, thereby fucking the team over for years means he should be summarily fired after the press conference. He needs to be gone, Fitz needs to be gone. It's clear we're not winning shit this year. Time to try out some other QB prospects and see if anything gels.

I really don't think they have talent on D to be honest. It's Byrd and K.Williams, I'll even throw Gilmore in there for now, though teams avoid him because everyone else is shit. Wasted picks on D over and over and over, busts everywhere.

Dareus was fucking pitiful, dude dominates average talent, gets destroyed by everyone else. Couldn't even feast on the Titans weak interior. Garbage play from him. Carrington outperformed his ass.

They need a fucking purge. I was delusional when I though things would change 3 years ago. I think it's time I make a change because they're clearly not going to.

 

[KaYotiX]

more like a fucking terrible rule. defense shouldn't be rewarded for illegal contact in the end zone.

This, he was shoved out of the endzone 15 yrds from the line of scrimmage. Should of been TD with illegal contact on defender.

 

[jakncoke]

just smh.

 

[AnnHog]

what the fuck refs. Fuck the Saints.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[JCizzle]

The refs deserve to be investigated for that. The Saints ALWAYS get away with everything unless their coach orders them to injure players on camera.

 

[WesternHeretic]

That is just as bad as the Green Bay missed call, maybe worse.

Bring back the replacement REFS!

 

[eznark]

I thought he re-established? Took like 5 steps in bounds. What gives?

If that isn't resetablishing then there is no such thing as reestablishing and anyone who ever goes out of bounds can never catch a ball again.

 

[TheFatOne]

Isn't the rule that you can't be the first person to touch it after you step out of bound? Or am I mistaken?

 

[vas_a_morir]

What *is* the right call?

 

[Newton Crosby]

Wow, Bucs got fucked.

 

[DMczaf]

JFreeman is going to take this out on his colon.

He's going to take it out on your shitty bike.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Fuck it. Better handed than good.

Fixed that for you.

 

[Sanjuro]

Deferring the kick analysis.

/killphillsimms (he was never good anyway)

 

[slightconfuse]

lol what game was the ref watching

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

I missed such a great afternoon!! FUUUUUUUUUUUCK

 

[squicken]

The NFL has no idea how to police defensive backs and penalties. It's crazy what goes on with illegal contact and holding

 

[MechDX]

Isn't the rule that you can't be the first person to touch it after you step out of bound? Or am I mistaken?

Correct

 

[Miroku]

What a total robbery. Not just for Tampa but for my fantasy team!! goddammit

 

[Coldnoodle]

Brady with that white glove.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I thought he re-established? Took like 5 steps in bounds. What gives?

What a dumb shit call. Why not just push every receiver out in passes like that then

 

[Slo]

If that isn't resetablishing then there is no such thing as reestablishing and anyone who ever goes out of bounds can never catch a ball again.

On NFLRedzone they said that there's a special rule for the endzone, there is no WR re-establishment.

 

[Buckethead]

Isn't the rule that you can't be the first person to touch it after you step out of bound? Or am I mistaken?

I thought it was only if you voluntarily go OOB but I could be wrong.

 

[Seda]

From google:

"A receiver running a downfield pattern can not intentionally go out of bounds and then come back into the field of play to catch the football. If this occurs, the catch will be negated by the official, who will call a penalty for illegal touching. However, if the receiver gets bumped out of bounds by a defender, he can re-establish his field position by getting back into the field of play as quickly as possible. He must also step in bounds with both feet before he catches the pass. The official must determine that the receiver was indeed shoved out of bounds, and that he got back into the field of play as fast as he possibly could."

doesn't say anything about endzone rules...it says downfield pattern

 

[sweetvar26]

Pats Pats PATS!!!

 

[exarkun]

ZUBAZ WIN AGAIN

Rodgers clear NFL MVP at this point in the year

trolololol

Watt is clearly MVP. Rodgers has had a great game and a good one the last two weeks, doesnt erase the ass that was the colts game!

Im thinking about buying Zubaz, you convinced me.

 

[Spectral Glider]

I thought he re-established? Took like 5 steps in bounds. What gives?

I don't know, I thought that was the rule too.

 

[DY_nasty]

I never wanted Cam

why do i have to suffer too?

 

[Draconian]

If that isn't resetablishing then there is no such thing as reestablishing and anyone who ever goes out of bounds can never catch a ball again.

This is just like these crappy catch rules they've come up with where you have to "establish possession" by making an offensive move, taking 10 steps with the ball, reading a book, and then maybe we can say possession was established.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Go Pats

 

[WesternHeretic]

Tom Brady is going to eat this defense.

 

[eznark]

Correct

False. You can be the first to touch it as long as you re-establish yourself in the field of play. Which he clearly did.

This is a flat out blown call.

 

[cajunator]

Fixed that for you.

Go cry somewhere.
Every team gets lucky breaks sometimes.
He shouldn'[t have stepped out.

 

[vas_a_morir]

On NFLRedzone they said that there's a special rule for the endzone, there is no WR re-establishment.

Oh? Then I guess it was the right call, if that's true.

 

[yankeehater]

Isn't the rule that you can't be the first person to touch it after you step out of bound? Or am I mistaken?

That is only if you willingly step out. If you aare pushed out you just have to reestablish your self. That has to be one of the worst calls of all time.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What a shitty way to lose. The bright side is that RG3 is looking more and more legit. Love this guy.

 

[_woLf]

What's worse, GB-SEA call with replacement refs, or TB-NO call with "real" refs?

I'm going with TB-NO. That was just bad.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Holy shit, Bucs screwed, Saints got the refs in their pocket again.

 

[msdstc]

Vereen sighting! Finally healthy.

 

[JCizzle]

Did FOX seriously not understand a team just got jobbed LIVE ON THEIR CHANNEL?

 

[jman2050]

The rule is correct as far as I know.

The issue isn't the OOB call, it's the missed illegal contact on the defense.

 

[Sumidor]

Teeeeebbboooooowwwww tiiiimmmeeeeeeeee

 

[Sanjuro]

Brandon Lloyd NOOOO

 

[Spectral Glider]

Brady with a shitty throw.
