For some reason on a kickoff if a player goes out of bounds then touches the football, it's considered a kickoff out of bounds instead of illegal touching.

Because the rule book is retarded.

I think he sticks around for two.

He just took a year off, was fired from the Lions, and passed over in Buffalo of all places.

Also anger management issues and all that.

It has to be that way to be consistent with other ways ball out of bounds interactions work in other portions of the rule book. This is not even close to a new thing.

If that was a man in a patriots jersey this thread's reaction would have been "Oh my that Bill, up to it with his special teams coaching hoodoo again!" :allears:

I don't know what happened to Pittsburgh. Just no relief throughout that game. It wasn't a turnover fest at least, but the lines both got dominated, special teams gave up some plays, and enough defenders got injured early to render us helpless against a rookie friendly offense.

I'm not really impressed with Wentz. He got every opportunity to succeed yesterday. Fletcher Cox and the Steelers' nonexistent pressure determined the outcome.

Hey also uh gently caress whoever thought a guy should be suspended for a season for marijuana.

Anyone having the awareness to do this is Cool and Good, if you ask me. That's a silly obscure rule that will result in players trying desperately to touch a football while keeping their feet out of bounds which is hilarious and should happen all the time.

Well no, the Patriots did that exact thing a few years back and my response was the same then, as it's very stupid to have a rule which encourages a player leaving the field of play intentionally to interact with a live football.

If a cornerback had a foot out of bounds and managed to touch the football before it was caught, is it a dead ball?

Per section 21, article 3, item 2 it's a dead ball.

quote:

Loose Ball. A loose ball is out of bounds when it touches a boundary line or anything that is on or outside such line, including a player, an official, or a pylon.

But a player voluntarily going out of bounds to do that should be a penalty just like how it's a penalty for a player to voluntarily go OOB on a punt to get downfield.

I've never seen someone go a full 10 yards beyond the LoS and still look to pass

I think he was doing that super clever thing QB's do where they run past the line of scrimmage and act like they are still looking to throw it to hopefully catch a defender with a fake pass or a quick juke or something. He might have pulled it off and beat the dude in front of him if Quinn wasn't burning down on his rear end, although he still probably wouldn't have scored.

As these kickoff situations get cuter and cuter, I'm looking forward to a ball bouncing high in the air and away from the goalline right into a sprinting coverage guy's hands and he runs in for the TD

This would be my all time favorite football play. Too bad it will happen when the Hawks and Rams play again.

No, QBs that do that pump fake. He still had the ball up and was looking to throw it.

So for the first scenario you're taking into account that the 2-point conversion is good and in the second both XP attempts are missed?

Two touchdowns vs a touchdown and a FG

And if you're up by 13 instead of 12, you're still relying on a missed XP if they score two TDs

Holy poo poo, he's literally the losingest coach in the history of the NFL.

Anyone anywhere near him has way more wins than losses, but since he holds the Kroenke family phylactery, he'll never be canned.

Yes, I am aware that the Buccs are ahead in the head-to-head series with the Falcons, why?

The rigorous and thoroughly enforced NFL concussion protocol ensures that there is no possibility of player remaining on the field if he's experiencing concussion symptoms unless the coaches, owners, player, or other league officials want the player to remain on the field.
