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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
