@Verysimpleidea @RealTalkWithMJ1 @ItalianNIrish Josh Allen was also second team all pro. Meaning the people that vote for MVP voted that he was the second best QB in the league behind Lamar.
@TnCowboys_DFS @RealTalkWithMJ1 @ItalianNIrish Lamar won First Team all pro that year. Meaning the same people that vote for MVP voted that he was the best QB that year. Even over Dak
At some point when reviewing plays, the league should consider adding a speed threshold for anything involving the element of time.
When you slow plays down to 1/100th the speed, it distorts what actually happened and makes it look like, in this case, Cooks possessed the ball for seconds prior to losing it. The game is not played in slow motion or frame by frame.
For a catch:
A) Secure control of the ball ✅
B) Two feet down in bounds ✅
C) After (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.
C is where there is a judgement needed since A and B are clearly met. Now consider this note to the rule:
If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds.
Because Cooks did lose control of the ball when he contacted the ground and the ball never contacted the ground, it was ruled an interception by Denver.
@zamboughnuts@Baltimore_MJD Tucking the ball is a football move. And he doesn’t have to survive the ground if he’s not falling as he’s catching the ball. The process of the catch was complete, he has both feet in bounds, he tucked the ball (football move), and his knee hits the ground before the ball exits
@moneyman45355@WalkLikeWalt@speakeasytlkshw@EmmanuelAcho When they are done falling in bounds.
With the Mim’s TD it was along the sideline and he went out of bounds. He just needed to have possession and cross the plane with the ball and have two feet inbounds.
@spencerS20@MBFantasyLife If there was no defender, and the wr lets go of the ball immediately after he hit the ground. It would be incomplete because the catch “didn’t survive the ground”. Why should that process be different because the ball is contested?
Quit the mental gymnastics. Ravens lost due to dropped passes and turnovers!
It wasn’t due to Derrick Henry having 16 carries. It wasn’t due to a lack of talent or takeaways. It wasn’t due to play calling. It wasn’t due to Harbaugh existing. OFFENSE had 3 turnovers! Bills had 0!
