Lamb’s feet were in on the touchdown

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

It’s a great enough topic that Jerry spent 2-3 mons talking about it on the radio yesterday. If you don’t want to discuss why come in the thread.?

Why come in a thread?

Everybody talking, all this stuff about me... why don't they just let me live?

I don't need permission to make my own decision, that's my prerogative.

It's my, it's my, it's my, my, my.... My prerogative. I can do what I want to do. It's my prerogative. Nobody can tell me what to do. It's my prerogative.

My, my, my, my, my...My prerogative.

My opinion is that possession, toe down and drag should be good enough whether falling forward or backwards, and some people seem to be bothered by that. This subject is making people mad so I will bow out.

Before you go, let me ask you this: If that had happened on the end zone line, where his toes touched down before the end zone, and just his heel touched the line, and he was knocked back into the field of play without falling into the end zone, should it be a TD?

Thread killer!!!

Only to those who don't want to believe we got robbed.

1 butt cheek = 10 toes = 2 feet = 1 elbow

What equals JPP's hand?

A bad analogy since in that case it depends on if the ball breaks the plain not where his feet are.

But ignoring that, no, it would be down at the one foot line because he had possession, one foot down outside the end zone and one toe down outside the end zone, but it would be a catch and that is where the ball would be spotted as it should have been in the play in question.

I thought about saying to disregard the ball position, but that would mean changing the rules. lol I'm glad you understood where I was going, but I disagree. I think if they went by foot placement, that situation would be a TD.

depends whether the third finger is in bounds or not. rules can vary on that one.

That happened to Dez vs the Giants

This is a strange thread.

I think everyone pretty much agrees with that. But you keep asking if it’s a good rule which is a bizarre question.

Well, that's really the only question here. If it's a bad rule, should the rule be altered. The call was made and there's no changing that, it's in the past but we are discussing what should be in the future. I think it's a bad rule that penalizes a guy for falling backwards instead of falling forward.

Well, if all you needed was a heel in then all you should need is a toe in.

Well, if all you needed was a heel in then all you should need is a toe in.

Just like all you need is a toe out.

What equals JPP's hand?

2.5 toes?

Twilight zone, lol

Thats not fair. He is missing parts!

It's all strange. Every bit of it. Not just this thread.

 

[FVSTONE]

He got both feet in. Was he robbed?

Wishful thinking...............

 

[GMO415]

Years later it will be ruled a TD. Wait for it.

It's about the toes man, all about the toes.

 

[Pass2Run]

I didn't think his feet were in. I think they made the right call there.

But I do think Lamb is emerging as the kind of player he's capable of being, and not a second too late, just right after mid-season.
