Screw Goodell the fix was in

Well we did have the ball on the one yard line 2nd down and we saw how that worked out.

I am referring to the Derek Carr clusterfk and his throwing the game away by trying to reach the ball over the goal line. In our case Pittsburgh had the ball on 10 with 2nd and goal after the TD was overturned.
 
are you drunk? Seriously? The guy was not even being tackled. Who the hell would not simply go into the endzone when they could? Ball in hand(uh, by an NFL player !) , no defender near him. I mean I have been on this board a long time and that could be the most inane idiotic comment I have ever seen.... I mean, not even a month removed from the Va Tech debacle.. hahaha. now I may have to go get drunk after that one.

What game are you talking about? I am talking about the Oakland game and NO Carr had a defender pushing him out of bounds, instead of taking the 1st and goal on the 2 he tries for the touchdown and predictably fumbles the game away!
 
The one that was bad was Derek Carr’s last night. There was no way he was close to being able to extend that ball over the goaline and lost the game because of it.

That is the play I was talking about. Not Jesse James, although he didn't have to reach the ball out either and all of these NFL players should know about this insane rule regarding a catch. Of course IMO he made the catch and made a football move to stretch the ball over the line. Like Dez did 3 years ago.

apologies...thought you were talking about jesse james... I will now take over that most inane idiotic post role now..but I am still getting drunk.
 
Same thing I was about to say. Reverse the roles and suppose it's Gronkowski reaching the ball over the goal line and having it make a quarter turn in his hand after it's already crossed the plane. Do you suppose a Patriots game winning TD gets reversed?

No way.

And therein lies the problem. Bob Kraft owns Roger Goodell.
They are fraternity brothers.!!dont forget his first official act was burning the NE spy gate tapes.
 
The spirit of that rule was to add clarity to the scenario where a guy is falling or diving to make a catch, and only has possession for a split second before hitting the ground and losing it.

I don't think it was originally intended for a guy that catches the ball, gets a knee (which equals two feet), pivots, reaches, and then slams the ball across a goal line.

It used to be "two feet and a football move" which makes all the sense in world. That would prevent it being called a catch when a guy doesn't control it after getting an initial two feet, but also allows common sense to be applied to when a guy has the ball, two feet down, and then makes another move which illustrated possession

Sorry. My head is in a tizzy after that game

how did they convince Jesse James to drop the ball going to the ground?.Must have blackballed him with Sandusky picks, ya that's it. ..thing about conspiracy theories is that you have to have a slew of co conspirators who keep their mouths shut which is impossible and tin foil hat conspiracy folks end up looking like idiots...present company excluded of course. .
 
I wonder how heated the discussion was in the replay office during the time the call was being reviewed?
