so did heThanks. Like everyone else I basically walked away to get a drink when he caught it in the end zone.

Rules are arbitrary in the NFL now. Clock hits zero for delay of game? Nah, just let it ride! Catch is defined by one set of criteria all season, but changed for the Super Bowl? So long as it hurts New England, it's all good! Take the knee to signal a touchback? Fuck it, we want to hold the audience and that's an antiquated rule, anyway!NFL just makes it up as they go. What a clown show of a league.
So when that Minnesota player in the 70's took a turnover the wrong way, should they have called his forward progress stopped because obviously he didn't mean to run to the wrong end zone?Yes but also if you are the official, the player catches the ball in a situation where he usually gives himself up, he motions to you that he's about to throw you the ball, he makes an illegal forward pass at you and no one else, and you fucking sidestep the ball and call the other team a TD, maybe you need to reevaluate your professional outlook as an NFL ref
Seriously. Should "common sense have prevailed" when DeSean Jackson threw the ball away before actually crossing the goal line for a TD? No, the fucking rule says you have to cross with it in your possession.Is there any other scenario where you could just throw the ball away and it's considered giving yourself up? I get "common sense" understanding of what he's doing, but aren't there actual rules to follow? That was just a boneheaded play by the returner. He doesn't have to catch it, so get away from it if going down to a knee is too much to consider.
This is great. Tweet that, it'll go viral.The Texans on WC weekend are the NFL equivalent to the Twins against the MFY
My read of the rule is that giving yourself up requires falling to the ground or taking a knee and making no effort to advance.Is there any other scenario where you could just throw the ball away and it's considered giving yourself up?

They waive their right to take a knee in the end zone.ANY points by the Bills here means the Texans waive the white flag.
That would require me to have:This is great. Tweet that, it'll go viral.
I'm with you. Know the rules. On the other hand, shouldn't it have just been an illegal forward pass and a safety, if they had stuck with the ruling?Common sense shouldn't prevail. That should not be a touchback.
No truer words have been spoken in this forum.The Texans on WC weekend are the NFL equivalent to the Twins against the MFY
The dude has lateral quickness like I haven't seen in a while. It's the sort of athleticism that makes us actually want to watch NFL in the first place.Singletary gets so low on his runs. Like a stockier and less twitchy Dion Lewis.
There aren't. He just needs to not blow it in the first quarter like he did today. The stupid challenge and punting on the THIRTY SEVEN set the tone.No show by the Texans might put O’Brien on some kind of hot seat if there were any good coach candidates out there.
Thanks for that, Jimmy Durante.LOL, even Gore is getting in on the act.
...there goes my sip of coffee. Thanks for nothin'...Hang a banner for that Watt sack.
Hey, it worked!Lol. Let’s circle Watt and see if that makes him make a play.
