Is it legal if the strongest and biggest offensive lineman of a team just tosses the QB or the ball carrier to the endzone for a TD? Imagine the fastball special from comics. But instead of Wolverine being thrown, it's someone like Kyler Murray going into the air for 6.

The best SB MVP is Nick Foles because he's the only JAG to win it from the QB position.

HonorableTB posted:Is it legal if the strongest and biggest offensive lineman of a team just tosses the QB or the ball carrier to the endzone for a TD? The rules make it a penalty to “pull a runner in any direction”; it’s called assisting the runner. (That’s the NFL rule; the college rule is broader.) In principle that includes things like lifting them, although in practice you do regularly see players pulling runners up to keep them on their feet, and there hasn’t been a flag thrown for this in the NFL for like 30 years. There was a small controversy about this in the Eagles/Falcons game last year, actually: https://twitter.com/footballzebras/status/1588343932190072839?s=46&t=ElVxy1GAH1plG_5hKKEhUA That’s clearly supposed to be illegal, and Terry McAulay called it out in the broadcast, but, well, no flag. Now, to answer your question, it’s unclear whether that rule is even supposed to ban throwing a runner. If you pick them off their feet and sling them, yes. If you “throw” them by just giving them a huge push up and forward? I dunno, and I don’t know if you could distinguish that from what regularly happens when someone tries to jump over the line anyway.

The game was nicknamed the Blunder Bowl because it had like 12 combined turnovers and a ton a penalties and was an all around bad game by both teams, yet somehow ended with a field goal as time expired for the Colts to win.

Pron on VHS posted:https://x.com/ScottKacsmar/status/1752095018553082102?s=20 Definitely would agree with that after several playoff appearances. Watching the Dolphins and, more so, the Ravens I was like “this is the team people thought was really good?” I hadn’t seen the Ravens all year so was just kind of surprised at the product delivered vs the hype. Playoff experience is the ultimate advantage and the more you get of it the more powerful you become, I think. Probably a big part of the Patriots continued success during their dynasty, too.

Playoff experience is not real. John Harbaugh the Ravens "coach" if you can call him that has loads of that and it didn't stop the Ravens from having a bafflingly terrible gameplan that tried to attack the other team's strength with its own weakness. A couple weeks ago the Joe Flacco-led browns absolutely melted down against a team with a rookie QB and rookie head coach. Joe Burrow took his team to the SB his very first go and beat the Chiefs in KC on the way there. I think most of the coaches in this league are just dumb as bricks and the Chiefs are very fortunate to have the best coach of this century along with a generational talent at QB. Until other teams in the AFC get up to that standard it'll be the Chiefs most years.
