gopackgo972 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Packers and Chiefs both scored 19 points in the first half of their games. Safe to say if they meet in the SB it’s gonna come down to the last possession Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{Family Ghost} Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Do Mahomes and Rodgers have a little rivalry brewing? I noticed that Rodgers fired the ball way up into the stands yesterday after a td run .. Mahomes did the same thing today after a td run.

More than just the NFL, It may be the worst rule in all of sports. I truly do not understand the thought process behind giving the ball to the defense in that scenario. I’ll never understand the hatred for this rule. Why should a team be rewarded for losing possession of the ball into/out of the endzone? Hold onto the ball and it’s a TD. You shouldn’t get a 2nd chance after fumbling away the ball and get it back. There’s a reason the endzone is the prime real estate on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why isn't the ball awarded to the defense when the ball is fumbled out of bounds at midfield? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

{Family Ghost} Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Rules are rules .. don't stick the ball out there along the sidelines/corner of the endzone, or run the risk of losing possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Personally I'd change it so it goes to the 20 but the offense keeps the ball. Basically a 20 yard penalty, but the defense shouldn't get the ball if they don't recover the fumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it mentioned a few times. In fact, Cowher just brought it up too at half. Seems logical.
