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?

Priorities man damn. Thiis championship weekend.  IRS be damned

It was some random 1099 I got and I was concerned about how much it was going to impact my returns.  Needless to say, I spent hours looking over my business deductions......just lost track of time.  Sheit happens.  If it were the Panthers, no.....I am on the TV an hour before the game and do not move.

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.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I saw an interesting point the other day about our type of situation.  It could have been wise to hold him off for 1-2 weeks, but that would not have anything to do with Bryce and you could easily communicate that from a PR standpoint.   Why? Well, we just brought an entirely new staff into town, new offense for the returning OL, and had wholesale turnover elsewhere.  So just run Dalton out there the first game or so to see how things are shaking out.  Dry run to make sure we won't kill the kid.  We weren't eyeing the SB.  Get a sense of the line, the receivers, the playbook.  It gives you a glimpse of what Bryce would be stepping into and a good barometer on where things stood sans him.  I suppose we sort of did that with Dalton, but that was a reactive switch and like @Ricky Spanish mentioned, it was against an injured SEA defense where we threw a ridiculous amount.  Who knows, maybe we could have at least won a game or two more that way.  You can adjustments prior to Bryce stepping in, better tee it up for him, and maybe we end up winning game 1 or 2. Last year was such a sh*tshow.  One of the worst seasons I've ever experienced in any sport for any team.  Absolutely nothing made sense together.  Happy we cut the cord early, but should have never hired that crew in the first place.

      Johnson is gonna want $20M+ next year. That's why they should have drafted Ladd.

      It's like folk didn't even watch the game. Dalton took a beating, and barely avoided a lot more violent hits. No 35 years old QB is going to survive a season like that. Imagine him against Dallas or Houston or Indy or Detroit or New Orleans twice! He played better than Bryce in that 1 game, but he wouldn't have lasted half the season.
