Additionally, Cam did something similar last year against Arizona and the penalty was applied on the kickoff, but unclear if the coach was given a choice about that.

During the game the refs announced that Atlanta elected to enforce it on the extra point

The penalty was meaningless if the kicker did his job. Making a 32 yarder to win the game is his job.

^^--well it was a 47 yarder, but yeah that's makeable e: poo poo you're talking the Overtime FG attempt, nevermind. Yeah, that was bad.

Randall Cunningham’s 95-yard TD pass against Buffalo (Where he ducked under Bruce Smith to avoid a safety) was from well in his own end zone and was caught over midfield, so that may be up there. There’s probably some cannon armed guys going back who had some crazy bombs.

I was going to guess it'd be a QB Eagles pass in a game where Buddy Ryan had him attempt 15 passes or something dumb while running the rest of the time because he needed to keep the defense fresh. Looking it up it wasn't that bad, he threw 25 passes against 30 rushes (7 of which were his, which probably mean scrambles).

But yeah that pass went a ways.

I...disagree that it's not the spirit of the law and I hate to, but this is what the NFL wants. They, because they are idiots, do not want players taking their helmets off on the field to celebrate because they do not want players becoming their own brands. It's the dumbest poo poo ever from any angle as far as I can tell, but you're a name and a number and not a face if you're an NFL player. I have never heard of it in a celebration mode being a safety issue.

It did give us Dwayne Rudd giving the Browns one of their more painful losses in history, which is saying something. So the rule has that going for it.

I would assume the rule is more about either player safety (so a guy without a helmet isn't in the middle of 21 other guys) or delay of game (throwing your helmet downfield in between plays)

Only goes back to 2016 but got me thinking of who would have been the top at this. Gotta be prime culpepper to moss, right?

Daunte was just firing artillery back then.

2nd clip here is thrown from the 12 and lands at the ~33 or so.

God, the one at 2:45 where he just throws it horizontally 40 drat yards over the middle to Moss.

The one at 4:55 he throws it from the 50 to the opposite hash's endzone. So that's probably the longest actually in air.

The longest pass I can remember Brady throwing is this cursed throw from SB42 that bounced off Moss' hands. From the 13 to the opposite 20.

Not NFL but Kordell Stewart is somewhere up there in memorable long throws.

From the 26 or 7 to about the 1 before it bounced into Westbook's hands?

I guess this might be a different category, because Hail Mary's are different than regular long as hell throws.

JUST PICK ONE. ANY ONE.
It's college football, I know, but that Falcons-Panthers ending reminded me heavily of the BYU-Washington ending from 2008. TFF Favorite Jake Locker led a game-tying drive against the #15 ranked BYU that he capped with a last second QB draw. To celebrate, he threw the ball up in the air, and officials called an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The extra point to tie the game was then missed and the Huskies would go on to lose every game that year.

is tyreek even better than steve smith sr was? tyreek is a lot like moss in my mind of how does he just not take over games nonstop but tyreek just...doesn't.

im probably jaded on this due to the Steve Smith Game in the playoffs but still. tyreek scores more but smith, in his limited career playoff games (he has one fewer game than hill already has had) was much better

Randy is odd because he was completely and utterly dominant but didn't have the longevity of the other big names on the WR list. He's got near the same production as a bunch of other lower tier all time greats but it's obvious that stats don't matter in his case. Same could also be said about Michael Irvin who was just blatantly better than everyone else for years but started slow and had a lovely QB his entire career (Aikman sucks). I'd say:

Tier 1 -
Jerry Rice
Randy Moss

Tier 2 -
Larry Fitzgerald
Terrell Owens
Michael Irvin

Tier 3 -
Julio Jones
Cris Carter
Calvin Johnson
Marvin Harrison
Isaac Bruce

Tier 4 -
Tim Brown
Anquan Boldin
Andre Johnson
Reggie Wayne
Andre Reed

The problem with modern day WRs is that they haven't completed their careers yet. Mike Evans has a few more years to add to his totals but he's already one of the best and unique WRs to ever play the game. If Reek can double his career he's one of the best of all time. Stefon Diggs also has a claim to jump up if he continues his trajectory.

Which he likely didn't. He just abused him awfully in other ways.

And choked his mom while she was pregnant. And some other stuff. I mean you know, his abuse only goes so far. (god I'm glad I don't have to go through listening to Chiefs fans about this anymore)

The guy can certainly play football pretty good though for sure.

His kid had a broken arm, but the way the break was it was likely just because he fell down instead of, you know being wrestled around by it or whatever. This was a whole very annoying topic of conversation for a long time.
