    Probably wouldn't have felt better about the call cause I think I have it right, but at least I would have felt better about the process because it would have involved the normal procedure and not the men in black coming in from the cold dispensing judgement.

    I am less outraged than incredulous tbh. I thought scoring plays (and turnovers for that matter) required video replay confirmation. Certainly overturning a called TD requires video replay. The process that immediately followed the play was unique to my years of watching pro football.

    Well when you go 5 wide with Pat Dimarco and Lee Smith on the same side you become real easy to defend
  4. GoBills808
    Yes I agree I've seen that when the returner lets the ball hit the ground, but I have never seen the guy catch it and toss it back to the ref w/out kneeling first.
  5. GoBills808
    No offense but this is completely wrong. Dimarco did not draw a double to free anyone up; as a matter of fact having him run a go and Lee Smith a post on the same side of the play allowed one safety to cover both since neither are real receiving threats. Everyone else got swallowed up. That is horrible play design.
  6. GoBills808
    No. He was lined up outside and ran a go from the jump- And in case you're wondering about play design, consider the deep post here is being run by none other than Lee Smith

    Kneeling is not so onerous. The airplane arms safe signal hasn't made its way into the rulebook yet. Specific to this play, taking a knee (or other qualifying body part) or less commonly signaling fair catch would be the acceptable (and only) ways to signal no return.

    Would love to see tape, cause I haven't It just seems like there's a simple set of rules in place that govern exactly the protocol to follow...and it wasn't. I mean, that's the whole reason the rules exist- so you don't have to worry about intent.
  9. GoBills808
    Yeh it does. I can't remember return man catching the ball and handing it to the ref w/out kneeling first and I watch a ton of NFL...maybe someone has some video to the contrary but I haven't seen it yet

    You really want a common sense doctrine from the guys who couldn't figure out what a catch was for the better part of a decade?
  11. GoBills808
    To give yourself up you have to kneel or slide or have some other body part hit the deck. He could have fair caught it also. Or just not caught the ball in the first place. But since he did catch it he needs to give himself up and according to the rules he did not.

    Mmm I thought it was borderline in game but Newton never gets this call and Allen probably won't for his career trajectory. However unfair that may be Now Clowney's hit on Wentz: THAT was 100% unnecessary roughness. And probably warranted more than 15 yards tbh
  13. GoBills808
    This is totally ridiculous. As if we'd ever have the lead on the Patriots before things get weird.
  14. GoBills808
    But on the plus side, we've established a very safe, very inclusive non-binary policy toward downing kickoffs, so there's that.

    Arguing for 'common sense' when there's a rule in place like
  16. GoBills808
    Just so everyone is clear- airplane arms is not a recognized signal by the refs. That's to alert your teammates you aren't returning the kick. You can signal fair catch, you can kneel, you can slide, or you can put another qualifying body part on the ground after catching the kickoff to 'give yourself up'.
  17. GoBills808
    I think, somehow, people are under the impression that the phrase 'giving yourself up' as a runner is ambiguously defined, and it isn't. It's very clear.
  18. GoBills808
    Yup. That's a safety. 2pts to Bills and ball back was the correct call
  19. GoBills808
    You realize the rulebook defines very specifically the ways a runner can give himself up, and he didn't do any of those things, right?

    I’m surprised the NFLPA hasn’t bargained kneeling out of the game already. It’s a tremendous burden on the returner and it’s so difficult to officiate.
  22. GoBills808
    Wasn't clear to Bills coverage team either. Pretty much the only people it was clear to were Booger McFarlane, Joe Tessitore, and @Alphadawg7
  23. GoBills808
    Poyer has the unfortunate habit of getting trucked into the end zone
  24. GoBills808
    Look back through this thread bro! Every post claiming this happens all the time has supplied concrete video proof to support the claim. I mean, they're definitely not just making things up and then providing zero evidence, that would be absurd.
  25. GoBills808
    Of course! Just like everyone else who has made this claim has been able to provide evidence!
