NFL GDT: Week 2

[Troy McClure]

Is that three turnovers in like 10 real life minutes? Almost definitely in game time, but that felt so fast I got whiplash

A missed FG from midfield is also essentially a turnover.

If disgraced Eagles fan EDP445 wasn't blackballed he'd be going nuts on his social media.

But he disgraced himself.

 

[HTFN]

A missed FG from midfield is also essentially a turnover.

No shit, I stopped paying attention for a second and saw the Vikings with the ball again and immediately assumed there was another turnover I missed, so... yeah. Kind of.

 

[GKJ]

[BKIslandersFan]

I don't think NFL is allowed to have Friday games but would Friday games instead of Thursday help? This game has been sloppy, as per the norm with Thursday games.

 

[red devil]

Eagles running the ball effectively on this drive

 

[Halladay]

The Eagles/Vikings had a similar game in Wentz rookie year. It wasnt on a Thrsday either.

 

[red devil]

Eagles ran it almost the whole way down the field and the Vikings couldn't do anything to stop it

Eagles TD

 

[GKJ]

Betcha Vikings don’t drop off 6 and 7 and 8 guys off the line of scrimmage next time.

[GKJ]

Oh dear

 

[Troy McClure]

Oh dear

The dumbest rule in the NFL strikes again.

 

[Halladay]

The Eagles are getting lucky lucky lucky here.

 

[red devil]

Looks like Jefferson fumbled through the end zone so it should be ruled a touchback

 

[Halladay]

Clear touchback.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

The dumbest rule in the NFL strikes again.

Is it not necessary though? players would purposefully fumble near the end zone if it didn’t exist and you can’t have that

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The floor is yours @GKJ

 

[Panthaz89]

It's really weird because normally if you fumble forward you would have to place it back where you fumbled it initially if it ends up OOB. Not really sure why it changes when heading towards the end zone makes sense for the other side of the field.

 

[GKJ]

That is THE WORST RULE IN SPORTS.


The WORST


How is this a real rule?

It just makes zero sense that it’s a turnover without possessing the ball.
