Tuck rule memories

yeah, that one was a lot more obvious though. cutler lost control of the ball when his arm was clearly going forward.

Actually the ruling was wrong. His arm moved forward but the ball went from a position backwards after his release, which should have been deemed a fumble.

I understand the rule, but was this not the first time the rule was called as it was in this instance?? Thats where the questions come out.

No. This rule was designed to cover the asses of the NFL after such a completely idiotic call.

I also agree about the whole 9/11 thing.

It was a fumble. The ruling said that his arm was going forward, so it was an incomplete pass. But you watch and it was basically Brady stopping his throwing motion and tucking the ball towards his body. He even touched it with his left hand.

After he tucked it, it was knocked loose, which should have been a fumble. The tuck rule is in place to make the motion of tucking the ball not a fumble, but once the motion is over and the ball is tucked it can be ruled a fumble if the ball is knocked loose.

I have watched it many times as well, IMO the ruling on the field was correct. I can't even remember why it was reviewed, under 2 minutes? Challenge? I don't know. But the Raiders got fugging screwed.

This, it was a fumble... stupid tuck rule.

      I hope you understand that this Anti Bryce thing as you call it is really a pro Panthers thing. I think I can safely use we. We want the best for the Panthers.  As far as this other post saying ‘Anti’ Bryce people do misinformation.. you mean like going all in on “Renfro should have caught” that poorly thrown ball? I guess it was week 1. And calling it a drop. Comical btw.  I wonder, did you call that out or let it slide because it aligned with your agenda?

      These are great posts with the comparisons and the numbers.   I haven’t lookyat Smity’s numbers since probably the first time he was on the ballot.  But if you watched every week you know what he is. Whatever his yardage or targets numbers were.  He was fuging dominant. I have watched since the AFL days and seen who there is to see. There are many great WRs over the years. GREAT WRs. Smitty is up there in the game of football.

      Smith is clear cut HOF if you judge what he did by reception. Fitzgerald was a stat padder.    The most Steve Smith was ever targeted in his career was in 2005 (150 targets). The same year he wins the triple crown.    Larry Fitzgerald was targeted more than 150 times over 9 separate seasons. Not once eclipsing 1500 yards in a season.    The over glazing of Larry Fitzgerald going around is way over blown. ARZ was top 10 in passing attempts nearly his entire prime. Steve Smith and Andre Johnson had it far worse and would have surpassed his #s in the same situation.
