Brian Burns not credited with a sack?

So unless I am mistaken, Burns did not get credit for the sack on the Mahomes read option he destroyed because there was no apparent attempt at a pass. 

I don't really understand the rules there and how you determine if a play is designed to be a run or a pass if the QB is taken down as fast as Mahomes was. I know there was quite a number of times Cam got killed running option plays and the opposing team was credited with a sack.

If you botch a snap and fall on the ball in the backfield is that not a sack?

Anyone care to explain/elaborate?

I feel so pissed off for Burns.  Glad you checked bc I meant to look earlier when it had crossed my mind and forgot...  but yeah, upset for him bc that's like the 3rd off the top of my head that he has been screwed out of bc of the scorekeepers/officials - one of the Herbert strip sacks against the chargers wasn't counted and it was an obvious strip sack, the sack against ATL that was negated by a meaningless def holding penalty (and Burns was injured on the play), and then that play yesterday.  I really wish we had/quickly develop his bookend, bc the Chiefs literally kept the RB on his side every play to either chip or run a screen behind him to slow him down.

A Read Option is a run play for either the QB or HB, it would be classified as a TFL, not a sack. 

My guess is it was more likely an RPO than a read option run play if Mahomes was keeping it.  IIRC, the commentators even said it was an RPO, so Burns not getting credit was likely just due to interpretation by the scorekeepers.

Burns blew it up so fast its hard to say.

God bless him.

He wasn't old enough to get that call.

I still believe that was the turning point in Cams career, not brainlet Rivera/Shula. Though he should have said things public, rather than "send it league office". Refs didnt protect him like other QBs form that comment on, beyond dumb reasoning.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
