Crawling into the Endzone

[DarthMonk]

First google hit on “Crawling into the endzone.”

Wonder why the announcers and refs cared about him being touched when he fell down.

Isn’t it a dead ball as soon as he falls down, regardless of him being touched, by rule 7a?

[TexasCowboy]

It is a dead ball the second a body part other than his hand or foot strikes the turf! according to the rule, just shows how little they continue to know about this sport if they only boned up on the actual rules they would not have this problem hint, hint,

[DarthMonk]

Wow - there isn’t ref in the league who understands rule 7a but you do. Wow.

And every week a runner in the NFL falls down and gets back up and keeps running and he’s allowed to because no one in the league understands rule 7a but you do.

And every week a college runner falls down and cannot get back up and run and everyone including the refs and the fans in the stands and the coaches on the sidelines and all the players think to themselves “gosh if he were a pro he could get back up and run” because no one understands rule 7A - no one else in the whole world understands rule 7a - which explicitly mandates contact by a defender - but you do.

Wow.

Wow.

Now Monk you know that some folks are "Special", and live in a "Unique" world. After all According to that poster. Norv Turner is a great headcoach who is better than Vince Lombardi was.

You can highlight the part of the rule 7a he keeps quoting but ignoring

You can show him the corresponding college rule which does not require contact

You can show him plays where NFL players are crawling on the ground legally with the ball while everyone in the stadium is aware of the rule and knows it’s OK

You can show him articles about the differences between the NFL and college rule regarding a dead ball

You could show him a play from every week of the current NFL season where an NFL player fell down by himself without being contacted got up and continued to run and was allowed to do so by the referees while no one in the stands or on the sidelines complained because they knew it was legal

And he would simply continue to spout the college version of the rule or the NFL version while omitting the line requiring contact.

You can even show him a high definition photograph of a player wearing a jersey number 30 and he’ll say MAYBE the 8 is a 3 when the whole point is the zero is a zero not an 8.

Meanwhile I can only assume the mods figure he’s worth keeping here because he drives “traffic” as he has violated their own rules repeatedly.

No thanks.

My first post in this thread was designed to show TC the NFL rule in action knowing it would probably only coax another idiotic post from TC. Sure enough.

Later fellas.

^^ only appropriate we start off with the anthem of this board and it's "Members"

http://static.nfl.com/static/content/pu ... Scrimm.pdf

show me where that says anything regarding College?

If you actually had the ability to "read" and "comprehend" and weren't so "Blinded" by stupidity, denial and jealousy you may have had a point in all of this but
as long as you keep spewing your venom, Monk and his "Special" little friend. Then I am going to keep throwing this right back in your face, He is down via the
rule spin it all you want that is what the rule states without question

They got it wrong with Dez, they certainly got it wrong in the Pittsburgh game, not even your "Friends" in the media are claiming it wasn't a catch time to give it
up. You are owned by a Cowboys fan, On a Redskins message board who knows more than you

hang your heads in shame

I have actually said it myself. You ain't dumbed it down enough to make it understandable by "Special" people.
You need to make it simpler than Dr.Seuss level. That way the "Special" person might understand it.

[TexasCowboy]

I'll even get down on 1 knee an it will still be a catch

[DEHog]

Well now ...it depends on what you'e doing on your knees

[TexasCowboy]

Since there is no sense in entertaining his BS which is what it is let's get back to the topic at hand

* it was a catch - The End

[DEHog]

not even your "Friends" in the media are claiming it wasn't a catch

Show me one media person who said it was a catch as the rules stand and he was down at the one and you claim!

[TexasCowboy]

Stephen A Smith, Kellerman, are 2 who have since changed their tune on the whole issue of catch vs non-catch

[TexasCowboy]

Unfortunately, that is what happens when you tune into an idiotic show like First Take just to see what Molly is wearing that day? you might have to actually listen to their mindless waffling on topics

[DEHog]

So that would be no one....

[TexasCowboy]

No one?? so because now they disagree with your assessment that it was not a catch now they fail to matter? go away

[DEHog]

Like I said show me a link to someone in the media (as you suggest) believes the play should be ruled a catch and down at the one...not TD.

Bayless fails to agree with you on this

[DEHog]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJhtHqIZfJY

Which one agrees with you Kellerman says it was a TD...you have argued he was down??
Smith is saying the rule is dumb and if you "want" to say the ball is down at the half yard line becuase he doesn't complete the catch that would be ok for him?

[TexasCowboy]

I agree the rule is dumb, so I agree with that point, I disagree with Kellerman on it being a touchdown, the rest of his points were pretty spot on In the end they knew it was a catch only a blind fool would believe otherwise

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLqMCT7yTVY

^^^ here's another video you might want to watch you may actually learn something about what constitutes a catch?

Skips actual words "buy the letter of the law it is not a catch"
Do you hear what Sharp said...he actually played the game!

[TexasCowboy]

If you listen to his commentary he states it is a catch, he was only quoting what Sharpe was saying because he agrees with the NFL's "rule"

You have maintained it was a catch and down where his knee hit...not sure who this dude is but he to is arguing the "bad rule"

Nice try...

[DEHog]

He said "it's a bad law"

[TexasCowboy]

It is a bad law, the receiver upon hitting the ground does not lose full possession should the ball have some movement. The James catch, Dez, Megatron, all maintain possession completing the catch the play ends
once this is established. There is 1 guy who I agree does have a legit argument for non-catch

Gronk! the player used the ground to establish the possession of the football rather than actually catching
it and maintaining possession the way he should have. That is the only time I will agree to it being a non-
catch the rest are catches
