While Redskins Fans Complain about that Punt Call....

I'm going to complain about that call that was made when Hoover dropped the ball in the end zone.

First off, I think it was a TD run anyway. Looked like the ball broke the plane before he dropped it. My question is.....how in the world is it a turnover when the ball is dropped and goes in the end zone. Seems to me if the ball is fumbled, goes into the end zone, and a Panther recovers it, it's a TD. Can somebody explain this to me?

The ball cannot be progressed by another member of the offense on a 4th down or with 2 minutes left in the half, hence it's a loss of down and the ball is placed wherever the ball was lost.

that rule sucks, imo

i mean there are 22 guys in one area, you cannot intentionally fumble strategically to get a TD, either way it's a scrum. the rule is not needed

normally it just goes back to the spot of the fumble, it was only a turnover because it was 4th down. i think they put the rule in to prevent people from intentionally fumbling.

exactly

like if hoover got stood up at the goal line and he KNEW he wasn't moving,they wouldn't want him to just drop the ball so it gets kicked in the endzone and maybe a panthers player picks it up.

I think the NFL will address the throwing of a blocker into the punt returner though. I'm sure all you panther fans love it,but if it happened to you,you'd be pissed as hell. it's just something that doesn't belong in the game. it's cheap.

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.

      lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
