Not necessarily... on end of plays games players accidentally pitch ball forward to no one in particular a lot and refs still throw the flag in those situations. Hand was going forward. If he had just dropped the ball and it went forward its a TD. But his hand motion was moving forward making it a forward pass instead of a fumble.

This is incorrect. You are thinking of the Jets and Bills kick off. That wouldnt be a touchback today. On kickoffs if the ball lands in the field of play and rolls into endzone its still considered a live ball. Its like an onside kick. However if ball travels the entire way into the air and land into the endzone then its a automatic touchback. In that Bills and Jets play the ball landed in play and rolled into the endzone. Mile Gillislee tracked it down but didnt recover it. Had he... he would have been tackled and gotten a safety but since he let it go the Jets got a TD instead.

But he didnt fumble it forward. There is a difference between that because the RB never had complete control and a RB wouldnt be motioning his hand forward. The returner tossed the ball forward to an official... so hand was moving forward. Would have been treated the same as a forward lateral or a like one of those pitch the ball forward plays that teams do now to prevent fumbles. Thats why at why at one point head ref threw his flag on the ground and i heard him talking to other refs live that said "I have an illegal forward pass" The big difference is that his hand was noving forward intentionally so by rule its a forward lateral and a penalty Only time i see this happen is when they catch the ball but there feet were out of bounds. Other than that they kneel it or just let it go

Please i see players do that all the time and people love them for it when it goes correctly. Only issue was Knox wasnt expecting it and instead of going towards open field he went towards Allen and pitch went over his head. If he had hit Knox... everyone would have loved the play saying how he is so creative and can see things that others cant. In retrospect it was a harmless play that lost 3 to 4 yards of field position.

Should have been caught. Had position... just a missed timed jump. I think Allen just sort of figured if he catches it great, if he gets interfered with great, an incompletion is no big deal. And if its intercepted its not that nich different then a punt. So it made it worth the risk to potentially get PI

No it would have been ruled dead but since infraction occured in endzone it would have been ruled a safety

Not Harry... he drops a ton of balls. Patriots fans despise him. We should have drafted AJ Brown over Cody Ford... with Nsekhe we had a starter at RT. I like Ford... especially for the future but AJ Brown would have filled a much bigger need on this team

Exactly... in Tre situation he went down stayed down. And then got back up and ran backwards instead advancing. By rule that is giving yourself up. Tossing the ball to an offical does not qualify.

By rule that isnt giving yourself up. Giving youself up requires going to ground and not trying to advance football. Say a player catches the ball from QB and immediately doesnt tosses ball to ref thats a fumble. Thats not giving youself up. That why QBs slide a QB just cant stop a play and toss ball to an official. You have to give yourself up by going to the ground

According to rules giving yourself up is kneeling or going to the ground AND not trying to advance ball. He did no such action. Its a fumble...

In that instance tho the TO could have came from sideline before Allen signaled TO... thats what usually happens in those situations

Its actually right most of the time... you know how often ive seen clock hit zero on TV. Defense starts signaling for a flag and they never blow whistle

It definitely wasnt... it wasnt even a forcable block either

Lucky freaking bounce

Murphy has been legit past two week

Should be illegal hands to the face by Hopkims actually

Nice Wrinkle of the Dallas play call

First playbof game i want a 75 yard flea flicker for a John Brown TD

I wouldnt say key. He played special teams but even on special teams he would go unnoticed. He made some plays on special teams during preseason but since then he has been mediocre there. The only game we beat a playoff team this year Duke was active and caught game winning TD.

Hopkins... great player but dude is a flat idiot. Be careful what you wish for. I hope McDermott makes White follow you just to prove a point

So appears that Sweeney doesnt have a jersey on his pads... was really hoping he would be active. And Perry has one so that means no Yeldon

Im making these bacon chicken bites. Seasoned with brown sugar and cayenne

Daniel Jones 7th and Ed Oliver 19th get real... Jones flashed some potential but Ed had by far the better rookie campaign. 5 sacks as a rookie DT is an amazing season. Heck that is a good season for experienced DTs
