There has been plenty of grounding calls that were judgement calls based on where the RB/WR is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadiums are huge now and we're wasting all that space since the players can't utilize it. It is a new era of inclusion in many aspects, eliminate the 11 players maximum on the field. Give everyone a chance to shine. Why the need for 7 players on the line of scrimmage? Why have a line of scrimmage? Let the players be free to stand where the choose at the start of each play. Offsides is so old school thinking. @Norm I think these could be game changing!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A teammate recovered it and advanced it, which is currently against the rules, resulting in the Jets taking over. Because it was such a huge game in the playoff race, I think the NFL will look at changing this rule for next year. There's other rule changes that need to be made because existing rules are antiquated - like making all forward passes legal regardless of where they are thrown. Making all forward passes legal regardless of where they are thrown? This has potential to be really, really bad to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people don't even have jobs to go to right now so they wouldn't mind watching 11, 12 hour games. Maybe first to 200 points but you have to win by 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be confused with Chariot End. - New position: Chariot End. It's like a DE or LT, but on a chariot pulled by horses. Not to be confused with Quad Back. - Instead of yellow flags, refs throw hand grenades towards offending players. That'll teach you to not false start. - The Domino's Pizza Touchdown Delivery, brought to you by Domino's: At random, a fan ordering a pizza will have their pizza baked by the QB on the field and delivered by a RB - if the defense stops him, no food for you.

SalvadorsDeli Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 18 hours ago, ET80 said: If I'm a RB who knows I'm about to fall short on 4th/1, I'm just going to roll the ball forward to a WR so we can keep a drive alive. This is similar to what I'd do... Man - even though the refs didn't let him get away with the intentional fumble, that 'worked' out for Gado in that a Packers lineman fell on the ball like he was intending, but what an absolutely idiotic decision to even try that. A Lions defender could have easily fallen on that and then you've basically given up a touchdown in order to try and prevent a safety.

Thomas5737 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 The Browns were credited with 4 fumbles on the final play against the Ravens so yes, pitches that hit the ground are fumbles. Where this rule may need adjusted is that "accidental backward fumbles" in the last 2 minutes of a half (or 4th down) need to be intentional fumbles to be advanced by another player. If there is a bad snap that hits the ground on the way back to the QB that technically is down at the LOS and loss of downs but it wouldn't get called like that in a game (final 2:00 or 4th down). The original rule was put in place to stop intentional (forward) fumbles from being advanced. Why an accidental fumble backwards not being allowed to be advanced makes no sense to me, It obviously doesn't have intent to deceive if it's ruled to be accidental. Anyway, I think there should have at least been a re-spot and measurement where the ball was fumbled because it was right at the 1st down marker when it broke free. It may have been short but it would have had to have been inches. As far as being cheated, there was a lot going against the Browns before and during the game but when you are playing for your playoff life you have to overcome it against a weaker team. Nothing is changing the outcome but I would say that rule needs looked at just because it doesn't make sense that unintentional backwards fumbles can't be advanced.

And what about the clock? I could see a WR catching a pass over the middle with little time left and chucking it oob to stop the clock.
