Packers are toast. Seattle is scoring a TD here. And improbably going back to the SB for the second straight year.
-
They didn't, He left as a FA
Might want to double check those facts if we're both talking about Harvin.
-
Call me crazy. But I think the Seahawks pull this out.
Cough. Cough.

Russell's tricks aren't working today.
Nice designed run though.
-
The Seahawks need some wr's in the worst way
If only they hadn't traded him away....
-
Clearly out.

If the patriots play anywhere near their potential we have no chance IMO. We need them to make mistakes *fumbles, interceptions* and when they do we need to capitalize on them. The jets and ravens play the pats tough regularly, we do not. Its a terrible matchup for us.
Isn't it well documented that you have a very loose grasp on odds and probabilities?
-
Has anybody seen him hit somebody hard since he's been here?
Man you really don't like Landry lol.
-
Off topic but what are the good Pats forums? I have been lurking a little on Patsfans and most of the post just state that the Pats will kill the Colts...easy win with no analysis...Pats will win because Luck is ugly...Luck can't lead an NFL team because he is "nerdy" and "awkward" in press conferences. Am I just looking at the wrong board?
There are none. That's why they all come here.
-
I'm not sure why either side would be too jazzed about this exchange? Neither guy "owned" the other. One went ultra defensive, and one guy parodied actual Pats fans that exist.
Not really much of a prank either. But maybe that's just me.
-
Maybe he's tired of defending conservative coaches who bring nothing to the table.
Could have been a Niner.
-
I'm not even sure that ball hit the ground, every replay they show on NFL network doesn't show the ball on the ground.
Regardless, I believe he had the catch and made a football move towards the end zone, so, I don't like the call.
100% smacks the ground and he loses all control.
-
Such a horrible call. The football move was him reaching for the endzone, thus the ground caused a fumble.....terrible, terrible rule and a terrible ending to a game.
Is it reaching or is it falling while trying to catch the ball. I would argue the latter.
Also there were 4 minutes left. Even if Dallas gets a TD the game is far from over.
-
Here is the entire catch, not just the ball hitting the ground: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000000456759/Did-Dez-catch-it
As I look at it, he isn't actually making 3 big steps after the catch, he's falling to the ground and his legs are still moving. He is only vertical for the first step and is falling more with each following step. The ball isn't secured until somewhere near the end of the 2nd step and the beginning of the 3rd step at which point it is in one hand and pops out the moment it hits the ground. The fact he's "going to the ground" in the process of the catch is what triggers the "must maintain possession all the way to the ground" part of the rule.
It's hard to argue that he made three steps as a football move, when the ball hasn't yet been secured until the third step.
Even his extension to the goal line isn't that pronounced, it is a slight stretch.
AGAIN I hate the rule and want to see it changed (but have no idea what it should be changed to). I don't have a dog in the fight so I'm not prejudiced one way or the other.
It isn't even close. Every time I see an argument about it I question my sanity.
-
Makes sense I guess. But they called it a catch. I really felt like there was not enough there to over turn it given the lunge toward the end zone.
Too much going on in real time, and he angles in real time weren't good enough for them to rule incomplete. On the replay it is pretty obvious, at least in my opinion.
The lunge is a little sketchy because it's not like he stands up tall, and leaps forward. He's stumbling forwards and falls in the direction of the endzone. Either way, if he protects the ball properly and doesn't let it hit the ground, we're having a completely different conversation.
-
You might be crazy anyways ;) ... but it is not him losing the ball at the end but the fact that he took three steps had the ball secured and reached it out toward the end zone. Aren't all those things football moves? What on earth is a football move anyways? That really needs to be defined better too.
It's actually quite clear. If the reciever is going to the ground while completing a catch, he must maintain possession through the whole sequence.
The 3 steps are part of the whole sequence and thus when he loses possession when it hits the ground the pass is incomplete. The only debatable part is if the lunge is part of his "football move", but the refs determined him falling toward like that was only a byproduct of his momentum.
-
Everyone can see he caught the ball yet the rule says no. Called correctly but the rule needs to be changed but not sure how you reword it without making it more difficult to call. And Dez has be to be smarter there. Just secure the catch and don't worry about trying to extend the ball with one arm.
I've never seen a call where a ball so clearly hits the ground and the player loses all control, be scrutinized so heavily.
Makes me feel like a crazy person.
-
I don't think the media is against us.
But has anyone seen a highlight package of our game that included Allen, or Booms TD? Everyone I've seen starts at 7-7 shows the Manning fumble, and then cuts to the Nicks TD.
Bizarre.
-
Hey, I didn't bring this up.... you did....
But, on a day after a huge win, I'm happy to settle down! Boy, that was a LOT of fun yesterday!
Peace.....
I brought it up with the intention you might laugh it off, but alas lol.
Enjoy the W. I mean you no harm

Seriously? You don't see the difference between forgetting a guy's name and not knowing the basic English language?
The OP didn't make the mistake once -- he made it twice. One in the thread title, and again in the body of the post.
I appreciate that nobody's perfect, that's why I went out of my way to at least be polite. You'll note my apology and use of emoticons. I wasn't a jerk about it. Which is more than I can say for you.
Give up, while you're behind. Far, far behind.
Still taking everything way too seriously.
Settle down buddy. I was joking the first time around, and I'm joking now as well.
-
Apologies in advance for being the dreaded grammar Nazi, but Luck won't be going "threw" any of those QB's or teams.
But, he'll try and go..... "through" them.....
Sorry.....
Brought to you by the guy who got mad at me when he forgot Josh Cribbs name lol.

What's worse...you friggin NAYSAYERS about Manning. He's not done. He's better than 90% of the NFL players in the league today. He's still got it. He still puts up huge numbers year after year after year....he gives everything he's got and I guarantee you he's got more to give (at least 1 more year).
Yes...the Broncos' bandwagon fans...only cheering the QB when he wins and booing him when they lose...as if it's all Mannings fault. He can't make his receivers catch the balls...how many drops did they have today sheesh?
That would probably have a bigger effect on a Broncos board really.
-
What is it that you highlighted?The ball never came out and people do reach like that all the time.
Ball doesn't need to come out by the way. The ground can't assist in a catch when the ball slams the turf and he loses control of it. He also at no point completed the catch, so the reach and loss of possession is an extension of making the initial catch.
If you want to be blind that's cool. Just don't try making things up, and then "bolding" things for me.
Should I cap and bold it for you so you remember you saying "the ball never touched the ground"?
