OT: 2015 NFL Football Discussion, parte deux

[Emperoreddy]

Giants needed that late TD. Gotsowski doesn't miss.

Or the INT on the first-down lollipop Brady threw. I'm still not sure what a catch is in the NFL anymore.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

The Patriots are just so damn lucky. I hope they are just using it all up now.

Ya I'm really confused. How is it this complicated to decide what a catch is?

 

[Devilsgrl35]

The guys on NBC said a couple of weeks ago Calvin Johnson had a similar play that was ruled a TD. Beckham had both feet down and control, then came the chop which made him lose the ball. I thought it was a TD all the way. But it's the Patriots so expect the calls to go their way.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I mean I saw two feet down and then the chop. But you have to be moving as well now?

I don't get it.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

I don't get it.

That's what makes no sense to me. He's in the end zone why would he start running?

 

[NJDevs26]

Especially when RB's can just stick the ball over the plane, lose it immediately and still get a TD.

Exactly. Once it crosses they can literally throw the ball to a defender and jt doesn't matter.

He had control and two feet down. Why does more need to happen?

I just don't get why that is. Apparently it's the rule so the call was "correct" but it seems silly to me.

I agree. It seems RB and WR have different rules on TD plays which is a major problem imo.

Especially since he wasn't even going to the ground.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Still think it was awful play calling by the Giants to call two pass plays when you're 1st and goal. Run the ball and clock for the first two downs, then maybe throw on third and kick it if you don't convert. Giants gave Brady too much time to work with.

They were going for the TD which was the smart play but ya they should of ran it at least once. Would of burnt a TO at least.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Love it.

Technically that's what that last rollout was, a 'run' that made them use the TO.

They would have had to run it all three times to make a real difference with the clock since the Pats essentially had two timeouts with the two minute warning. And then you practically take the TD threat away

 

[Rhodes 81]

Love it.

This might be the greatest thing I've ever seen.

The Giants have so many opportunities to win games and find a way to lose them. And seemingly every year they have 3-4 season long injuries to critical players.If they hadn't won two superbowls in the past decade, I would say they were the most unlucky team in the league.

Good point. 3 runs basically is just a clock move and you are going for the FG.

How much time does Brady have there? About a minute? Still plenty of time to get into position.

They needed the TD and I think they got it outside of the weird what makes a catch rooms.

HaHaHa Now that's excitement

 

[Emperoreddy]

This game tonight is just awful.

 

[tr83]

Why are the Jets NEVER ready to play football. It's every game since Herm Edwards

 

[NJDevs26]

Well it's been especially pronounced this year. Even games they won easily like the Redskins and Browns they were puttering around in the first half.

Now Mangold is out and Ivory's questionable to return again. I love Ivory but really he should only be a platoon guy the way he was the previous couple years, he's not durable enough for a true feature role.

 

[NJDevs26]

And now Hopkins is making Revis look like Peyton Manning - old and decrepit.

The offense looks intimidated by the Houston defense too, dropping passes, missing easy throws, not being able to run

 

[tr83]

**** you Chan Gailey. You run at Watt with no TE help?
