Just wondering

When the returner touches the Ball outside of the endzone and proceeds to run into the endzone and Take a knee shouldnt this be ruled a safety? Because that clearly happened in our game against baltimore last week and it was rouled a touchback

It happened with 3.30 left in the 3rd quarter, just after our field goal, if anyone wanted to Take a look themselves.

I know this is Bears week but i just found that play really Strange and cant get it out of my head

If momentum takes them into the endzone it is not ruled a safety. They rule was actually changed because it happened to IIRC Doug Evans on an INT.

Not sure it's similar.

But what happened to Evans happened to Thomas Davis in 2007 vs the Cowboys.

I thought the same thing at the time. I was freaking out about it because f*ck momentum that should be a damn safety. Returners need to have the awareness to get out of the end zone if their own momentum takes them back in, before kneeling the ball.

I saw it too but then the commentators didn't even touch on it. The returner was clearly in the field of play it took a weird hop he touched it and then went back in the endzone I thought it was clearly a safety but they didn't even mention why it wasn't.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
