The primary thing I've seen is spotting the ball at the 20 with no loss of possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than your own EZ, which makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatJerkDave Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Nah, screw that. If you are a moron and fumble it like that, you lose possession. I am tired of rule changes that help the offense. And if we want to amend it to be consistent, any fumble that goes out of the field of play is automatically the defense's ball at the spot it goes out of bounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's determine possession after OOB fumbles by using something like that play in rugby where both teams launch someone in the air while the ball gets tossed into the group.

You treat it as if the player were tackled at the 20. If the play would have resulted in a first down had the players been tackled at the 20, then it's first down.

So you'd lose it on 4th if you do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
