I don't know about that.  Minny oline still a bit of a mess, Philly just needs to pound the rock.

 

I think Philly pulls away in 2nd half.

 

Do you mean run the football?

It's just odd that the defense gets it. Allow the Offense to keep it at the 20

They should just get it where the fumble happened. Such a dumb rule.

At least on the field Jalen Carter looks like he's going to be everything I was assured Ed Oliver was.

Yeh but Jalen fell for character reasons to the point where three teams in front of the eagles took him off their draft board the guy has two civil cases pending against him

Which is why I specified "on the field".

[Low Positive]

That’s ball game.

[zow2]

Wow Cousins had no clue that club was coming 

[TheFunPolice]

[zow2]

I have Swift in Fantasy too and i’m ready to throw my remote through the screen.

Game ain’t over yet 

[buffblue]

Yet again with Swift getting jobbed. He should go up and punch Sirianni in the face lol. Hurts and Mahomes are the kings of BS touchdowns

[dma0034]

The Jalen Hurts 1 yard QB run is a fantasy football cheat code

Time for hurts to unleash the deep ball

Who cares. It’s not going to derail his playing career. It’s professional sports not the ethics Olympics

[appoo]

So I wonder running backs universally hate Jalen hurts. That was swifts TD. Doichey move by the OC to not give him a shot at the TD

[78thealltimegreat]

Is that Scott Norwood? 

[zow2]

Minny had turnover problems last week too. Keep that in mind Buffalo,  not always easy to clean that up.

“Because the goal line is involved — and this is a consistent application of the impetus rule,” Blandino said. “Impetus is the force that puts the ball into an end zone. So if a team provides the impetus that puts a ball into their opponent’s end zone . . . then they are responsible for it. They’re responsible for it. And if the ball gets out of bounds through the end zone then it is a touchback.

 

[…]

 

“Now that may seem like an egregious penalty but again, think about it, they put the ball into their opponent’s end zone,” Blandino said. “If it’s not fourth down or inside two minutes, if they recover it, it’s a score. So that’s potentially a big play, so the penalty for not recovering it . . . has to be big as well. That’s why it’s a touchback. That’s consistent with other loose balls that go into an opponent’s end zone. Kicks, punts, fumbles, backward passes.”

 

“You’re responsible for putting the ball into your opponent’s end zone, you’re responsible for recovering it,” Blandino said. “If you don’t and it goes out of bounds or the defense recovers, they’ve defended their goal line, and they get a touchback.”

 

 

But the D does not necessarily have to cause the fumble for the rule to take effect.

 

Why is the goal line the overwhelming factor?  Why not have the D get the ball every time the O fumbles out of bounce?

It's a weird rule.
