NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round game thread

[Mystic Merlin]

Al is a bit off today

 

[heavyde050]

Kind of surreal we could be two hours away from Brady retiring. NFL won’t be the same.

Yeah, it will be sad. I just hope Brady has a decent second half. The Bucs are not winning.

 

[Zedia]

Yep

 

[heavyde050]

That was 100% a fumble. Just not the Bucs today.

Edit - nevermind - his head was down, right?

 

[kartvelo]

FUMBLE

 

[Ed Hillel]

Def a fumble

 

[Section15Box113]

I think that’s out.

 

[Jungleland]

Way out before the helmet hits

 

[BaseballJones]

That’s a fumble

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Fumble. Game saving strip.

 

[JCizzle]

Clearly a fumble in my opinion

 

[The Raccoon]

Fumble. Not over yet...

 

[kartvelo]

CLEAR FUMBLE, CLEAR RECOVERY

 

[Ale Xander]

Should have thrown it to Kupp or OBJ

 

[Marciano490]

That’s a fumble and a whiplash.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was the dagger. Bucs have a lifeline. If Arians had called a timeout like he should have they’d have a chance for 3.

 

[amRadio]

That has to be a fumble and that could be a huge break.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Way out before the helmet hits

After the catch not overturned yesterday for the Titans, this one won't get a deserved overturn either

 

[strek1]

Fumble. Not over yet...

Let' see if the refs get it right first.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Rams still get the ball to start the second half.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

They will overturn this. It is obvious.

 

[Zedia]

clock should go back anyway.

 

[johnmd20]

The Bucs are getting blown out. It will be TB's ball.

 

[JOBU]

Definite fumble

 

[Ferm Sheller]

That's the right call.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Reprieve.

 

[Ed Hillel]

clock should go back anyway.

I meant after first down.

 

[brienc]

This might be the last time we ever see Brady take a knee.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Oh I thought it was a touchback

 

[VORP Speed]

Alive

 

[StupendousMan]

So what IS the rule for a fumble? Does the head touching the ground cause the play to be dead, just as an elbow or knee does?

 

[Gash Prex]

I guess the Bucs got a reprieve for another possession

 

[Al Zarilla]

Sony played great this year. Why so much Akers?

 

[Zedia]

I meant after first down.

yeah, I figured that out a second after replying. Sorry.

 

[Ed Hillel]

No timeout for Rams?

 

[strek1]

Not much room for that kneel down

 

[shawnrbu]

Why didn’t the Rams call time?

 

[johnmd20]

First half over under was 23.5.

Dagger loss on that.

 

[Zedia]

So what IS the rule for a fumble? Does the head touching the ground cause the play to be dead, just as an elbow or knee does?

any part of the body other than hand or foot.

 

[shawnrbu]

How do you not try to jump the snap count?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

So what IS the rule for a fumble? Does the head touching the ground cause the play to be dead, just as an elbow or knee does?

Yes.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Felt like the Rams had two chances to lock this up. The drive earlier that they started on the 50 and that.

When you have Brady down you can’t let him up.

 

[Euclis20]

So what IS the rule for a fumble? Does the head touching the ground cause the play to be dead, just as an elbow or knee does?

Yes, but since the ball was moving before his head hit the ground, it's a fumble.

 

[CFB_Rules]

So what IS the rule for a fumble? Does the head touching the ground cause the play to be dead, just as an elbow or knee does?

Yes. Ball carrier is down if anything except the hand or foot touches the ground

 

[E5 Yaz]

Cool ... Resident Alien is back

 

[Ed Hillel]

yeah, I figured that out a second after replying. Sorry.

No need to apologize

 

[StupendousMan]

I found the rule:

An official shall declare the ball dead and the down ended:

a)when a runner is contacted by an opponent and touches the ground with any part of his body other than his hands or feet. The ball is dead the instant the runner touches the ground.

 

[glennhoffmania]

So what IS the rule for a fumble? Does the head touching the ground cause the play to be dead, just as an elbow or knee does?

I believe it's anything other than a foot or hand.

I'm so excited to hear what Chris Simms has to say now.

 

[Marciano490]

Cool ... Resident Alien is back

I legitimately thought you were talking about Tony Dungy’s skeletal ass.

 

[shawnrbu]

Gotta believe the AB incident pushed up Brady’s retirement.
