Yeah. Doesn't matter what happens after the tip of the ball passes a mm over that white line.

.
Except that it is clearly moving in his hand before it does. The call won't change the outcome of the game but it does seem to fit a narrative of making games "competitive".

So do you have a relative that is a ref Angry? You can't seem to find ANY fault with officiating. I mean ZERO.

No I've always say that teams will get calls for and against them.

I think the constant complaining and whining about refs is ridiculous. And getting beyond old.

Beat your damn opponents.

It looked like the ball was moving out of his hand early on, just happens to not twist so it's sorta hard to see. But whatevs, game is definitely more exciting now. That would have been game over.

I don't trust Watson to get this done. He's just not a good enough passer.

I hope Goff is watching this game btw. Colts doing the " safeties deep and make the QB take what's underneath" approach. Playoff ball baby, keepin that risk low.

Yeah Colts defense did a great job exposing him. I'm enjoying it too lol. So tired of the media overhype on running QBs.

Ok so eating crow on the Colts. Still not going to pick them though, because I don't want to curse them. :p

Watson is a RB trying to play QB.

I really wonder if he could hit the broadside of a barn.

His reprogramming was complete in the last quarter of the eagles game. He will eat that up in the playoffs.

It's every bit as much part of the game as commenting on any other aspect. Refs blow calls. They can and do cost teams games. There is no way fans should be good with that when it happens. Your mantra also gets beyond old. One bad call in a close game can and often has been the difference in games. When that appears to get worse league wide, it is not likely a false perception by the fans. Teams play their hearts out to win those close games. We absolutely should expect the refs to NOT change that by fucking up or calling games to keep things even.

When everyone watching disagrees with the call - even after review - there's a problem. Calling out that problem is completely fair game. And your constant of teams need to overcome calls against them, is frankly BS. Far too many games come down to a play or two. Blatantly bad calls should not be just let go.

Whether he fumbled or not, I gotta throw in my .02 cents in about that rule...if the offense fumbles and it goes out of bounds through the end zone, I don’t get why the opposing team gets the ball on the 20. That makes no sense to me.

That is such a game changing rule if there ever was one.

Yeah, it doesn't mesh with the fumbling the ball over the sideline in the field of play rule. You either keep the ball in both situations or lose the ball in both situations.
