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?

    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
