You'd have to be a complete loving moron to give up on Jameis for Ryan Fitzpatrick. For all my complaining, I completely agree. I'm just seriously concerned that Jameis is never going to be able to make the adjustment now that the book is out on him. Fitz is definitely not the answer, but he's at least a serviceable backup.

One thing I did think was cool that I can't remember if it was mentioned was that the TD Fitz threw to Brate was the first Harvard to Harvard TD in NFL history. Which is kind of surprising, in the early days of the NFL weren't a lot of those dudes Ivy league bros?

Super early NFL was viewed kinda like professional wrestling, if you were respectable you weren't involved. That did eventually start changing but it was probably too late to entice a bunch of Ivy League guys who almost surely had more lucrative careers waiting for them somewhere else until fairly recently. e: I guess I haven't actually checked, it is possible a lot of Ivy League guys were around because they loved the game. I just know there was a stigma around professional (but not college) football for quite a while.

Ah I guess that's where it came from. I knew college football was big for Ivy leagues and just assumed that transferred to the NFL.

I still don't see how this is a correct application of the rule, but even if it were, how is it in the spirit of the game to just hand the ball over to the defense at the 20 when ASJ never lost possession?

Yeah like the NFL would let their golden boy lose a game e: the fumble started when Brady was drafted and ends when the Jets and time cease to exist

It seemed like they said he fumbled outside of the end zone and regained control in the end zone, so never crossed the plane with possession Which is dumb as gently caress but whatever

It seems like outside of the 4th quarter or something, a fumble out the back of the endzone should just be placed at the 1 yard line.

It'd shouldn't ever just be given to the defensive team, not even outside the 4th quarter. If you fumble a ball forward out of bounds, you retain possession at the spot of the fumble. What's the rationale for that not being the case here?

Diva Cupcake posted:It'd shouldn't ever just be given to the defensive team, not even outside the 4th quarter. I guess because you could deliberately bat it out of bounds to prevent a turnover. But they could just penalize that 5 or 10 yards from the spot of the fumble which would make more sense.

I guess the questions for me are: 1) Should the touchback for fumble out of the endzone rule exist? 2) Should the rules for re-gaining possession after you fumble be the same as for gaining possession in the first place?

Nope, intentionally batting the ball out of the end zone gives the opposing team the ball at the 1. See the Pit vs Chi game in week 3 of this year

The only thing I can think of is to discourage some kind of holey roller strategy, but that still seems dumb because that is a super duper risky proposition and there is already another rule that addresses it. What the hell is the origin of this stupid rule?

What if they changed the rules for any fumble that goes out of bounds (endzone or not), so that the ball is spotted at the point of last possession. It always seemed kinda dumb that if someone fumbles and it squirts 10 yards forward before going out that they get the ball at that spot.

On principle I like the touchback rule because the Seahawks have utilized it several times including last week, as the Rams score a TD on the next play if that's ruled out at the 1 and in all likelihood win also sorry Lions fans But the way it looks in that case borders on the absurd and since it benefited the Pats my instinct is to say burn it to the ground

The fact that there is a specific rule against the Holy Roller is insane as well. Designing a rule to prevent teams from repeating a fluke desperation play that happened on one occasion in just the last two minutes of a half is purestrain NFL.

fishing with the fam posted:As far as I can tell, #2 only becomes a problem when combined with #1. "Going to the ground" makes sense with respect to gaining possession of a pass, because otherwise you'd get far too many BS "well, he controlled it for 0.10 s while falling down, so when it bounced off the ground out of his hands it was a fumble" instead of a dropped pass (and in the endzone it only ends up totally screwing the Lions, so who cares?). I almost like the touchback rule because it means that punching the ball out just before the goal-line can actually make a difference, instead of just delaying the inevitable. On the other hand, taking away a TD because someone bobbled the ball for a barely perceptible amount of time after they had already performed the "football move" incantation seems stupid (and I say this as a Pats fan).

See the Pit vs Chi game in week 3 of this year My understanding of what went on with that play is a bit tenuous, but I don't think this is right. Chicago was in possession and fumbled, Pittsburgh illegally batted it out, and because the half can't end on a defensive penalty (committed in this case by Pittsburgh), Chicago maintained possession and got an untimed down. There was no change of possession based on the batting.

I don't know, the holy roller rule seems fine. It also only applies at the end of halves and games doesn't it? If you want to have a desperation play give me laterals to laugh at any day of the week. The fumble out of the end zone touchback rule just seems like a bad rule that's been around forever and no one has bothered to change it. And I don't think the Jets getting screwed will be the catalyst for that change.

Jethro posted:That's already how it works. You only get to keep the fumble progress if it stays inbounds (and it isn't recovered by someone other than the fumbler inside two minutes or on 4th down). Eh almost. I misspoke. I believe if the offense fumbles it and it goes backwards and out of bounds then the ball is spotted where it went out. Which is also dumb, although less dumb.

If you punch the ball out, you should have to gain control of it to gain possession. Just like in the field of play. If I punch the ball out at the 50 and it goes out of bounds the offense still retains possession. I think it should be the same in the endzone.

A missed illegal bat call cost the Lions a game in 2015 against the Seahawks. Remember, if a dumb rule exists, it has at some point cost the Detroit Lions a football game.

I mostly think it was a knee-jerk reaction and the game should have consistent rules regardless of the time on the clock, or the down or, in as much as possible, the part of the field.
