BRH Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Of course, I never thought an unconscious guy lying outside the field could recover a fumble, but we know that's not true either. Learn something new every day if you're a Bills fan.
zow2 Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 49ers definitely getting some breaks on penalties on turnovers
MattM Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 WTF--"NEAR the LOS"--what kind of BS is that? While I don't have a rule book handy, I'm sure that's not the way the rule reads--I'm sure it's that the ball has to go beyond the LOS. What complete horsesh*t!
TheChimp Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 this is the second call for a challenge of an unchallengeable play. get a copy of the rule book kids Does the rule really say the word "NEAR" in it???????????????? !@#$ing for real?
silvermike Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Intentional grounding will not be called when a passer, while out of the pocket and facing an imminent loss of yardage, throws a pass that lands at or beyond the line of scrimmage, even if no offensive player(s) have a realistic chance to catch the ball (including if the ball lands out of bounds over the sideline or end line). There's no rule for 'Near'
crackur Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 49ers definitely getting some breaks on penalties on turnovers just realizing this? LOL
wardigital Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Put Hamden in if Trent is hurt. Let's see what he can do. JP is walking after the seaon is over anyhow -- what's the point? Does JP really put us in a better position to win this game than Hamden? I don't think so. To give your team the best chance to win now, while you're still in the playoff hunt. JP probably knows the entire system. Or at least he is supposed to. Hamdan is a third string quarterback, he likely is only very knowledgeable of basic sets. If we were 4-7 instead of 6-5, this would make sense, but you don't prostitute even the slimmest chances of getting to the dance to determine if your third string quarterback is indeed a football player.
zow2 Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 The decision to punt worked out ok for Dick. NO way would Lindell have made a 54 yarder or JP picking up a 4th and 8. Good call Dick....I'm in your corner man

Cynical Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Is this viewed as an actual injury to TE, or a nice way of pulling him out? Was he really playing that terrible? No way can he be worse than JP, but it will be pretty sad if we end this season with a different starting QB than Edwards. No chance of that happening.
bills44 Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Really! Apparently you've just became a Bills fan in the last 180 seconds. Say, what gave Trent Edwards the opportunity to even get into the starting line-up last year? Say, what gave JP Losman his first real opportunity in football and what happened to his leg when that happened? Say, what was the name of that guy who was hurt so often we had to give his job to a midget from Worcester? Say, do you have any idea what you're talking about? 1. Losman tore rib cartilege, I believe. 2. Your question makes no sense. 3. Rob Johnson was injury prone as well. How long ago was that? How many games (or portions of games) has Edwards missed due to injury, going back to college?
MaineMoxie Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Now THAT's what we should have been doing earlier. Lynch is a beast (of course, as I type that he loses three yards, but hey...)
billnutinphoenix Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 I wonder if Dick bleeds red or green?
