Go back to how they were last year!
That little thing that's too damn small to read and blocks out a view of the field, when it could be at the top of the screen, out of the way.

They have their video set up for widescreen tv's only. I can barely see them on mine (since it's not widescreen), and on some of the replays, I can't see the guy they are talking about.captmojo wrote:I'll start by saying just exactly how badly the new scoreboard graphics on FOX are.

Now THAT sucked. Clearly a touchdown pass. The Lions should have won that game.captmojo wrote:More suckitudeness.
Be sure not to miss the grand NFL ruling on the catch by Calvin Johnson of Detroit from today.

Good God!
I hate to say this. It should have been a touchdown, yes. However, BY RULE, and it's a rule that shouldn't be, that was NOT a touchdown. The refs applied the rule correctly. It was his own fault by using the ball to break his fall. He should have tucked the ball and taken the little bump. Stupid play by Johnson. These guys know the rules. These guys practice the rules. He's too good a player to do that. It's like they said in one of the early games on a roughing the passer penalty, "Yea, it was just a bump, but you can't put the ref in the position where he has to make that decision."lawgrad91 wrote:Now THAT sucked.

No, that's a TD. He has possession, his feet are down in-bounds, his butt and a knee/thigh are down and he puts the ball down on the ground. By rule also, the ground cannot cause a fumble. Bullshit call by the ref. Detroit got screwed. Again. And I have no dog in the fight.bjornolf wrote:I hate to say this. It should have been a touchdown, yes.

It's a new rule, and it's a dumb one.N.F.L. Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 1: Going to the ground. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball after he touches the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete.

Thanks, DukeUsul. I was gonna search for that, but you found it for me. Stupid rule, DD, but it IS a rule, at least for last year and this year. It is NOT a TD, and is NOT a TD basically unless you fall and get back up with the ball still in control. CJ knows the rule. It's been the rule for two seasons now. He should have tucked it and hit the ground. There are two things that my coach pounded into my head:DukeUsul wrote: N.F.L. Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 1: Going to the ground.

None that have been plastered all over SportsCenter. Yet.devildeac wrote:Any more touchdowns that were not touchdowns this week?
The funny thing was, they were saying on the radio the other day that this SAME thing happened several times (5+) last year, but none of them were on the last ditch effort to come back, so nobody made a big deal out of it.devildeac wrote:Any more touchdowns that were not touchdowns this week?
It's 9...we were pulling for 10 in section 21DukieInKansas wrote:If I were Jay Cutler tonight, I'd fake an injury before I really got hurt. It is either 8 or 9 sacks so far and it's almost half time. He has no protection. the last stat I saw was that da Bears had -5 yards total offense.
I'm not sure how many times that ball has been turned over but they may also be working on a record on that stat.
