Is that endzone fumble touchback rule because of the Holy Roller play or something? It's my most hated NFL rule and I like the Chiefs. I feel like the defense did nothing to earn possession, why should they get the ball? At worst penalize the offense a down like an incomplete, or put the ball for the offense where it hit the ground or went out.

I couldn't care about the touchback rule. The uncalled killshot is the infuriating part.

I mean the rule is dumb, but yeah the loving uncalled head to head is insane. Especially when the ref is right loving there to see it. He basically had to have seen it.

I mean he laid out to hit a player who was already laying out, I don’t know how you stop him otherwise.

I love football rules that make players try less hard to score

To my knowledge there’s never been any real drive or campaign from any team to get this rule changed. And that’s in a league that’s always trying to boost scoring.

So I can only conclude players, coaches, owners, and officials love it. And I love it too.

I mean, it’s a rule on all levels dating back to probably the beginning of the game. It’s dumb, but it’s not something they just made up 5 years ago.

Browns fans 100% have a grievance on the hit, but not the fumble itself and the result.

That rule is so stupid. I fumble out of bounds anywhere else on the field doesn't result in the other team getting the ball.

and running anywhere else on the field doesn’t result in 6 points, this is a stupid argument

its just the touchback rule, its just what a touchback is. a touchback is the ball rolling out of the back of the endzone or being downed by a defensive player in the endzone. its not some special rule, its just TOUCHBACK DEFENITION: MAKE THEM BROWNS GO HOME

If it’s that or let him score, you hazard the flag. In this case, it seems to have worked out. It should’ve been flagged, but it wasn’t.

I don't really see the problem with the touchback rule but that was a pretty egregious hit, especially when the refs were flagging everything on that drive.

bean mom posted:

My take is he's just bad mostly and normal dirty by safety standards.

Obviously that was a bad hit but one that a lot of safeties end up making. If you want to ban him from the league and erase his salary I mostly won't complain. Even though he oddly comes up with those plays out of his rear end (not always dirty!) in exactly those situations.
