The hand isnt a part of the body, but the forearm is

So if the back of the hand touch the ground, its a fumble. But a lil higher on the forearm it isnt

Do they sit and actually think about these rules. Zod I hope this doesnt happen in a crucial game this season and it stays like that

Take this for what it's worth

http://trainathought.insidefootball.com/2009/08/observations-from-the-ref.html

As for the challenge by Coach Coughlin, a player in possession of the ball is considered to be down when any part of his body other than his hands or feet touch the ground. As the only part of the Carolina runner that touched the ground was his hand, he was considered still “up” and therefore he fumbled a live ball. This is the one exception to the rule that the “ground can not cause a fumble.”

So let’s take a hypothetical … DeAngelo takes a handoff from Jake and sprints around right end. The LB comes up and hits him low, knocking him off balance. DW manages to get his left hand down to regain his balance and takes 82 yards for an apparent TD.

Who's going to stand up yelling at the top of their lungs “BRING IT BACK, HIS HAND WAS DOWN !!!” ?

There are some fans who still don’t understand the rule on Smitty’s non-catch from the Dallas game a couple years ago even though, I believe it was Mike Carey, so eloquently explained the review.

Ridiculous
And yet, there it is.

Be glad this didn't happen to us during a regular season game.

Then again, we're facing the Cowboys this season and for whatever reason, there is always crap calls like that (not calling pass interference, roughing the kicker, complete pass that wasn't a pass).

Smith's 74-yard td against the texans in 07 is a good example of a play along the lines of what you are describing.

I have no problem with the call as it was made. The back of his hand, maybe the wrist hit the ground and nothing else was touching the ground except his foot. It was a fumble... maybe he'll learn to hold the ball close to his body and just fall, then if his shoulder hits first and the ball comes out, he's down.

Not necessarily (as I previously re: the Smitty play). A receiver has to maintain possession of the ball throughout the play.

The middle of the field is no different than the sideline where a receiver must have clear and firm possession of the ball before going out of bounds.

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
