That turnover's important because they were going for it even if it was 4th & 10.

LOL... reverse mojo.

Defensive line has already eased up for some reason.

Turnover...waiting.

Really?

Time to force a turnover. 

LOL

Philly Brown is slower than you think.

Should've been picked.

Time to get after Palmer big time now.

I knew there would be a Ginn reverse somewhere in this game.

Hard to argue against not giving that one to Ginn.

Same LOW PERCENTAGE PLAY again on 3rd & 2. 

Hey, how about SPEEDING THE fug UP?

Keep the ball Cam.

THAT DAMN FIELD 

How can he not have on the right cleats? 

Ted Ginn, aka, "Kain't Git Right"

HOW THE fug DO YOU NOT CHALLENGE THAT SPOT!?

Arizona will live with FGs all day long. That's a victory in their minds.

Fumble recoveries after the whistle do count.  The continuing action after the whistle doesn't count (like if the player recovers and then scores, the score doesn't count).

I SAID THAT FROM THE BEGINNING! Quit repeating what I've already said!

The issue in this case is HOW LONG A PLAY HAS TO BE OVER WITH AFTER IT'S BLOWN DEAD BEFORE IT'S ACTUALLY OVER.

Bronco's defense are killers man.  

Exactly why the Patriots are the better matchup. 

Patriots vs Panthers is a better game, anyway. On top of that you don't have to worry about facing the #1 defense in the NFL.

Officials will keep Pats in the game.

Will the NFL will be on the Panthers' side?

I'm the moron?  This has been the rule since 2006.  The play is not over when the whistle is blown.  Call me names all you want but the rule is the rule.

Yes, you're the moron.

HOW LONG DOES A PLAY HAVE TO BE OVER WITH BEFORE IT'S ACTUALLY OVER?

That is the issue here. I said from the beginning that a fuging backwards pass is a fumble. You aren't telling me squat by repeating it.

At issue here is the fact that the refs blew the play dead, everyone stopped playing except for one Patriots player who walked over and picked the ball up and ran to the end zone. The Patriots then decided to challenge it which they wouldn't have done had none of their players picked up the ball because everyone else including their coaches had accepted that the play was over.

That's the issue here, not whether or not it was a fuging fumble. Of course it was, but the play was over with for 3 seconds before that guy picked up the ball. How long does a play have to be over with after it's blown dead?

The rule is no different than a fumble (a backward pass is a fumble).  And the Panthers have gotten the ball after replay plenty of times when a player was whistled down yet it was ruled a fumble later.

I just said a backward pass IS A FUMBLE, moron. The difference in this case is the play was blown dead a long time ago, then the Patriots picked it up, which would be like a running back being in a pile, the ref blows the whistle before the ball falls out of the pile, then a defender jumps on it as everyone is walking back to their huddles and then a challenge flag is thrown out.

THE PLAY WAS BLOWN DEAD LONG BEFORE THE PATRIOTS PICKED IT UP!

That's different than the refs blowing the whistle too early while everyone is still fighting. Everyone had stopped playing, including the Patriots guy who lazily walked over and picked up the ball before jogging into the end zone.

How long does a play have to be over before it's actually over?

The Panthers have benefited from that stupid rule a million times.  The only thing the whistle does it keep the continuing action from counting.  That is why most officials don't blow their whistle on these plays anymore.

When have the Panthers ever recovered a backwards pass after the whistle was blown?
